The album sonically goes every which way—a double-edge sword that can make for a dizzying, disjointed listen at times. Still, ? is X’s most stimulating offering to date and with a little more focus on structure and cohesion, X’s best work could very well be ahead of him.

has some of the best songs i've ever heard and some of the most unlistenable garbage, truly inspiring
Not much to say about this other than listening back to this really helped me outgrow my X phase.

XXXTENTACION stains the music industry with his sophomore record '?'; rightfully named for how obscure & often disorganised this record is. The record definitely has its highlights, however they are very far & few between. As X elects to explore other genres of music & attempts to take on far more than he can chew — he ultimately ends up leaving himself short.
