The 405

His latest album, and his best one at that, Who Told You To Think??!!?!?!?!, is a fifteen track epic exploring the height of Milo's capabilities as an artist.

A.V. Club

Milo’s still firmly making experimental hip-hop, bridging various through-lines of mind-expanding boom-bap, but he’s also etching his way toward the center, his art getting clearer with each step.

Pretty Much Amazing

While Milo’s lyrical wit has remained sharp over the years, the beats he raps over have gotten better and better with every release, culminating in Who Told You To Think??!!?!?!?! as the best batch of beats he’s rapped over.

Tiny Mix Tapes

This is the crux of the album’s difficulty: it feels personal and scans as though it should be, but time and time again, it leaves me not quite sure whether I know a single thing about milo, the person.

Pitchfork
milo is a sharp-tongued rapper whose wordplay rewards close listening. On his third and best LP, the Maine emcee carries the flag for the underground rap scene that birthed him.

The Needle Drop

Following up on its predecessor's sense of urgency, Who Told You to Think??!!?!?!?! is another thought-provoking abstract hip hop album under Milo's belt.

WARNING: This is by far the most pretentious thing I have ever written, read at your own risk.

Across this discography he has consistently pushed himself closer to the limit of introspection, and even by 2017, was considered to be a great abstract hip hop artist. So it isn't very surprising that with this release, he took things a step further and ... read more

Milo definitely strongest suit is his lyrical content in how diverse and the message he is saying and it works well with the more mellow surreal instrumentals and production which creates this cryptic and philosophical aspect and with the features bring fresh air when it is needed but I do wish their was more straight bangers but as an overall experience it is very good but not every track sticks with you.

There's something about this album that's always sounded so good to me, the production is top notch, Milo is in his usual lyrical form, the voice effects that are throughout this album are eerie and helps the whole project flow pretty seamlessly. I think this is a project that could sound pretty grating to some people, but it scratches a hard to explain itch for me.

one of my favourite albums of all time. i find the production on this album to be the perfect blend of old + new. it feels very punchy and cold. everything just meshes so well on this album, and i still haven't gotten tired of listening.
