Not as good as Telefone or Room 25 imo, but still a very solid album. I'm not gonna count Jay's verse against my rating of the album itself, but wtf. Idk why Noname was fighting so hard for that feature when it wasn't good lyrically or sonically lol.

My comfort mixtape, just exudes such a warmth.

Instant classic. One of the best rap albums of all time, period.

Solid debut album, eager to see more.

Super good EP.

You can tell she really found her sound on this album. Great project.

Crazy good for an EP full of demos. Great beginning to the powerhouse Steve Lacy would eventually become.

Genuine disappointment, especially since I very much enjoyed Vol 3. Way too much going on, the album has a critical lack of focus. I know he can do better than this. I'm hoping that this was just him getting all of his bad ideas out into the open so he can really lock in and give us something more substantial in the future.

This meant everything to me back in junior year of HS. First introduction to Mac, may he rest in peace.

Had me in a chokehold back in highschool. One of the first rap projects I ever really consumed, still solid even with more seasoned ears.

Phenomenal pop album. Honestly deserves so much more praise than I see it getting.

Chorus made my jaw drop the first time I heard it, so infectious. Bass goes crazy too.

Super solid first album, so proud of Roy's growth from this to CMT.

Gave the album another listen recently, even better than I remember. Such a great debut.

FANTAZIA lives rent-free in my head and showed me that Roy is something special.

This album had to grow on me. It felt like such a jarring shift from BTI and I couldn't stomach it at the time. I gave the album another shot during the summer of 2020 and it finally clicked with me. I still like BTI more, but this album is genuinely solid.

Arguably my favorite album of all time. Still blows me away.

Literally created an account just so I can praise this album.

I've been a fan of Roy's since I heard Thunder and Perfume back in 2018. Both songs blew me away with their captivating vocal performances, catchy indie rock production, and raw, honest lyricism. I checked out Cat Heaven and it quickly became one of my favorite albums of all time.

I then moved onto GRAFFITI. At first, I wasn't feeling the EP. After a full 2 or listens, however, the songs finally clicked in my head. ... read more
