CRITIC REVIEWS
88
Semi-automatic dracos are made in Romania and Dracula was too. Whole Lotta Red is the sound of a new legend dying to be born. It’ll be album of the year in 2022.
83
The Atlanta rapper’s third record is both wildly innovative and strikingly consistent. It’s hard, melodic, experimental, and unlike anything else happening in mainstream rap.
80
Playboi Carti—Gen Z’s answer to Nosferatu—performs emotions, toggles between them, and disguises them with a disquieting ease. He has never been more enigmatic.
80
While losing some of the pop appeal of his previous work, Whole Lotta Red represents Playboi Carti coming into a new phase of his artistry, however jagged and disorienting the process may be.
80
Carti comes into his own by stepping into the coffin of a vampire, scoffing at every critique tossed towards his vaudeville fangs.
70
Whole Lotta Red demonstrates Playboi Carti's commitment to dynamic growth and experimentation. However, it's painfully apparent that Carti needs more features.
60
The rapper hoped to give fans a Christmas treat with this surprise release. It wasn't quite a lump of coal, but doesn't reach the dizzying highs he's capable of.
50
Whole Lotta Red will probably be appreciated more for its boldest ideas than its overall execution.
27
Whole Lotta Red is certainly the hip-hop album of the year. What could represent 2020 better than something so grating that feels like it’s never going to end?
FINAL FINAL EDIT: The greatest album ever made no contest
FINAL EDIT: Life's good.
EDIT 2: (79 -> 85): Don't care anymore fuck you. One of the best trap projects OAT.
EDIT: SHAWN CEE CALLED THIS WEBSITE A CESSPOOL LETS GOOOO
Phew… this is my fourth attempt at this. I can now say with certainty that this album is one of the year’s most polarizing albums. Yes, I’ve rewritten this review 4 times now; first time was a meme review, second was a half-assed review I wrote at 3 ... read more
Overrated as.
Favourite Track: On That Time
Least Favourite Track: M3tamorphosis (feat. Kid Cudi)
I'm gonna get named and shamed because of my worst tracks, but hold on. Every song on here (except JumpOutTheHouse) is better than a 4/10.

Worst Tracks - Go2DaMoon, Stop Breathing, JumpOutTheHouse, M3tamorphosis, New Tank

How the fuck is JumpOutTheHouse the lowest rated track. Also Metamorphosis is the best track here

for every mid rage album I listen to that has like 24 songs and half of them are filler I learn to appreciate this album more. Sure it has misses but there's literally 4 skips on this album and thats it. This thing is way too consistently good
