Jun 12, 2018While in some ways Testing is more musical than anything we've heard from A$AP Rocky before, it's also more confused, with ideas and musical shifts colliding at times to the point of randomness.
-
Jun 15, 2018It’s a welcome addition to a genre that has become so occupied with spacey, bare-bones operations and overly simplistic results.

May 25, 2018Throughout the 15-track album, he weaves from hip-hop and psych-rock to R&B and soul, proving that artistically, he will never be confined to a single box.

May 29, 2018Instead of creating a new wave, A$AP Rocky has drowned himself in his own ambitions and lost his identity along the way.

May 30, 2018There’s something bewitching about this free-form section of Testing, but there’s still that feeling Rocky's stylistic adventurousness--however appealing--is overwhelming lyrics and flows that aren't as ambitious as the production.
-
May 29, 2018Rocky’s anything-goes tests come up short, but they feel like his alone.
-
Jun 1, 2018Though the finished project is as loose and incohesive as its title might suggest, there’s a lot to like about Testing.

May 25, 2018Rocky similarly hopped between styles on his two previous albums, Long.Live.A$AP and At.Long.Last.A$AP, but Testing is a spottier affair. Too many tracks minimise his strengths. ... There are moments, though, when the dimension Rocky created for himself comes back to life.
