CRITIC REVIEWS

XXL

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.

AllMusic

Taken as is, ? is a fascinating and thoroughly engaging listen, swirling with passionate emotions that hint at the chance of something greater.

The Needle Drop

X makes some improvements on the mixing, singing, and songwriting fronts with ?, but the album is still a mixed bag consisting mainly of half-baked song ideas.

This exercise in granting credence to emotionally stunted, bad musicians is something that is truly stunning to bare witness to.

If a rapid look on the track-titles doesn't turn one off immediately, the whole 'how to approach' thing will. If not, well, all the rest will provide enough self-imposed punishment.

It's a very bad sign when you have an album with almost 20 songs and only one of them stands out. Infinity (888) is probably the best song xxxtentacion has ever made, and it still can't save an album that is, in general, completely forgettable.

the album is so boring and uninteresting. It has some good tunes, but I didn't enjoy it and it make me just skip some songs. Bad album.

not the worst thing ever made like people seem to be expressing here. it's just fine, just okay. it's enjoyable enough, but it's nothing special. the album didn't really feel connected in any way, which is my main problem with it, but overall it wasn't bad to listen to.

fav tracks: sad!, numb, moonlight, infinity 888
least fav tracks: SMASH!, pain = BESTFRIEND, floor 555, $$$ (this last one was just painful to listen to though)
