CRITIC REVIEWS
84
Although this light-hearted nature dominated Good For You in its entirety, Limbo takes more of an existential turn as Aminé earnestly wonders what comes after that initial rush of success.

Mature and consistently satisfying, Limbo is a statement-making highlight in the rapper's discography.

On his new album, the Portland rapper rediscovers the appealing lightness that made him famous.
6mo
70
The album proves that he can keep pace with his contemporaries while drawing on the history of the genre in ways many of today’s innovators are unconcerned with engaging.

Aminé sees improvement on all fronts on his sophomore album.
6mo
70
Limbo feels like the emergence of a new artist: one whose growth has taught him exactly how to use his voice.
6mo
60
'Limbo' is certainly not a representation of his best work, but rather an example of a talented artist not pushing his boundaries.

The record falls off during its latter half as the melodic R&B cuts begin to blend together.

Ironically, on his new album Limbo, Aminé is chaining far too many dance missteps together. It's a tasteless joke as banal as this album.
I'm starting to hate rap, it's so irritating. Can we talk about disappointment? Half of it, actually. First of all, I think there's cause for disappointment based on his potential and all the media support he's never lost despite the fact that he's rather discreet. Having discovered him like most people do with Caroline in 2016, Aminé aspired ... read more

Witty, catchy, and instantaneously lovable. I love the features on here, and they all add a ton to the experience. Amine was once seen, to me at least, as a one hit wonder with a goofy, somewhat annoying track Caroline. I didn't love it but i was a kid so... it was a song that existed.
Tina is making fun of the way i type. fuck you Tina. anyways, this is just a solid release. My only issue is that amine is a bit of a Kanye/J Cole/Other Protégé, and he struggles to find his own ... read more

Nah y'all are confused. This is great. This is by far the most mature Amine has ever sounded on a project. It also seems like his singing voice has improved a ton. The production is solid. The hooks are catchy. What's there not to like???

Anime music? Mmmm, no thank you. Aminé's music, however? MmMm, yes please.
Aminé, currently 26 years old, is a rapper with great potential. He creates catchy hooks like a pop-rap artist, yet possesses the lyrical potential of a conscious rapper. Flashes of brilliance are shown in his previous works, with my personal favorites being Caroline and Sundays, yet, the problem separating him from greatness is the rest. Looking past the appealing singles, the rest is often a mixed bag. ... read more

I feel like I've been tricked into thinking that this would be more interesting then it is.
Look, I'm not even saying that this is a bad album. I would much rather listen to Limbo over that Dominic Fike album any day of the week, month, or even year. At the end of the day, this use of Alternative RnB/Hip Hop just ain't my thing if I'm being totally honest. Let me explain.
