‘The Family’ was the album the band needed, and ‘TM’ feels like a classic BROCKHAMPTON record. Immaculate production, genre shapeshifting, and some of the cleanest verses from the group in quite some time.

AllMusic

TM would have received all the immediate attention as the "final Brockhampton album" -- since they got at least more than one member on the tracks -- leaving Kevin Abstract's reflective solo joint The Family as a bittersweet epilogue to Brockhampton's brief but eye-popping moment in the sun. Instead, an otherwise solid LP got lost in the shuffle, treated more as a footnote than a true parting statement.

What a weak end for the band to leave off with. It’s hard to listen to this album without having the messages of The Family stuck in my head, mostly about how the band had already been broken up. It puts this album into perspective that the band really is not the band anymore. Infighting and disagreements within the band really killed what potential they had with roadrunner, this and The Family were probably the worst route to go with leaving their label and ending Brockhampton, ... read more
