CRITIC REVIEWS
90
Post Malone continues to deliver his unique style that bends rap and melodic singing. The album has hip-hop inspired instrumentation but goes a different direction.
80
Beerbongs & Bentleys contains banger after banger; it's an incredible drug-induced album.
70
On his sophomore album, Post Malone carves out his own niche in the auto-croon field with quality trap production, strong vocal performances, and a bit of a singer-songwriter twist.
65
As it is, beerbongs & bentleys is unequivocally, completely and utterly superior to a lot of the material released by popstars he finds himself compared to or forced to play in the same ball-pit as.
56
At times it’s almost impressive how long an album called Beerbongs & Bentleys can go without cracking a smile. It is more assured and impressive than its predecessor, Stoney, but it’s also more exhausting.
56
He is by all objective measures just not good. I do want to convince you though that he is, for better or worse, just a notch above average.

Beerbongs & Bentleys is an apt reflection of his lavish lifestyle and his subsequently begotten hardships, but its attempts at sincerity work only when Post Malone stops trying so hard.

The makings of an incredible album are here on beerbongs & bentleys, but we’re just going to have to wait until Post has enough money, success, and artistic freedom to be able to make that special album.
40
Its tracks are so homogenous, so repetitive, that you’re almost given the impression of being trapped in some claustrophobic, M. C. Escher-like landscape of stairwells and hallways, but without any of the tension or excitement that that situation would elicit. When one song ends, another begins – same chords, same tone, same melody, same Autotune – and the cycle begins again, like a slightly nauseating merry-go-round.
40
The 22-year-old singer makes the rockstar lifestyle sound beige on this directionless second album.
40
There are powerful choruses and strong vocals from the chart-topping, face-tattooed rapper, but his guests show him up as a weak lyricist.
40
With sing-song melodies and dreamy trap-lite beats, Post's songs re-package existent rap trends for people who might not particularly like rap at all – including, it would seem, the artist himself.
Okay... understand that as someone who HATED Stoney, I was really nervous about this album. However it completely nails what Stoney failed at. Jeeeeeesus this album is so solid front to back. I hated 90% of what was on Stoney, but here we get druggy, upbeat bangers on the front half, and a beautiful slowdown after the middle. People called Stoney a classic for some reason... but this album stomps that one out in every way.
It is very formulaic, and maybe a few songs could have been put on the ... read more
After “Stoney”, Post decided to up his game 10 fold on his next album “beerbongs & bentleys”. I know that this is not a masterpiece in the slightest, and that some people might get mad at my rating for this album, but personally, I loved this album. Production one here is incredible on here, almost every track is some of the best crafted pop rap of the late 2010s, with tracks like “Zack and Codeine” and “Same Bitches” being some incredible ... read more
Damn. After listening to Holywood's Bleeding, I didn't have many expectations from this. But hell was I wrong. Production-wise this album had PERFECT choises. Posties voice also makes it way better. This album is a gem.
Good job Post.

also does my influence on this site actually reach? I left that comment about saying this should be tagged as Emo Rap like 2 months ago and now it's one of the most popular takes. Kind of makes me wonder if I actually contributed to that
