CRITIC REVIEWS

Whilst the initial surprise felt on the original ‘Saturation’ may have subsided, the erratic excitement and experimentation on that album has been executed more confidently on each subsequent chapter. The LA group are everything progressive rap music should be; forward thinking, energetic and perhaps most importantly, exciting.

A massive union of fiery verses, melting pot beats, and compositional experimentation, Brockhampton continues to rule with the grand finale of the ‘Saturation Trilogy’.
83
Saturation III is the shortest, hookiest, and best ... for no better reason than they are cooking by now, pithily commenting on police brutality, drug addiction, and receiving head.
80
This is Brockhampton at their funkiest and most playful, but it’s also Brockhampton at their finest.

West Coast boy band Brockhampton round out their Saturation trilogy with their most versatile and melodic album yet.
80
Boasting huge party tracks with dark undertones and some menacing grooves, this album is a constant swirl driven by the band’s seemingly unlimited creativity.

Luckily for fans and followers, this trilogy-closing album doubles as the best album in the series and their strongest release to date.

They’ve so far struggled to translate their ideology into a working piece of art but on Saturation III, the collective’s objective begins to come into focus. They still paint in broad strokes and their songs sometimes still lack continuity, but they’re truly moving as a unit now, and the star power is all but obvious.
75
Like its predecessors, the album is hit or miss, but the batting average remains uncommonly high for a project like this.
70
While they may be overzealous and inconsistent and pandering, there’s a certain gratitude reserved for the fact that these people, these dynamics, this electricity, all ended up in the same place at the same time: a trashed and cluttered share-house in California.
SISTER/NATION is the DoYaThing of Brockhampton's discography.
So it's that time again: Brockhampton is dropping a new album...and I'm not looking forward to it. I think it's been pretty obvious based on my thoughts of the last two singles that I don't anticipate liking GINGER. In fact, my dislike for those singles has made me question, "Do I even like Brockhampton anymore?" So, I went back, checked out Saturation 3 once again and got a MINDFUCK moment.

After trashing SATURATION, Pitchfork are trying to amend for their mistake and jump on the trend without seeming too obvious lol
"Unity is strength"
In 2017, individualities have become more important than the crews, but this proverb is not ready to die with Brockhampton. Formed by Kevin Abstract, Brockhampton already amazes by its appearance: whites, hispanics, blacks, we had never seen so much diversity in a band... In the assumed manner of their music videos, the message is clear: we are one with our music, and the community barriers are fucked up. There is a lot of energy in their music. The guys give all ... read more
