For this tape, Devon Hendryx tore open his own mind to express his hell in a buzzing symphony of voices, carried by his isolated tone. They together occupy the tracks, as they enclose him into his confessions and realities. He breaks into his suicidal thoughts and history of abuse and objectification. His agonizing desire for love when he can only find humiliation and rejection. The bitter pollution of his mind harrows him to a point of fragility that he gives what he has left to the ... read more
Though viewed as a throwaway album, many times overshadowed by the successor Blonde, Endless is something different. To start, my first listen of the album was the music video on Apple Music, later downloading the published release: difference being the omission of the intro/outro by Wolfgang Tillmans. That outro was my original blemish on the album, but the removal helped me enjoy it more. Throughout the run of the album, it's easy to find the intention vague here, especially seeing the ... read more
No score. It's still scaring the hoes, but the added songs are disappointing recycles mostly.
I really like the direction that Tyler went on this album. It’s fun, and that’s all it has to be. It’s very dancey while keeping some of Tyler’s recognizable production. It was fun to see him re-use the drums from CHERRY BOMB in a better way. Fun listen to dance to.
Very strong rapping from Freddie Gibbs makes the album feel unique, which is important here. The Alchemist had some good beats, but they stayed simple, sampling from similar songs and staying out of the way to let Freddie shine. I think it doesn’t do much wrong, but isn’t breaking boundaries either.
I think that this is his best album yet, it solidifies JPEGMAFIA as one of the most skilled producers right now.
Very short, and while the highs can be great, it doesn’t have enough time. Not the most consistent either, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Not very inspired. Truly, why would you pick these beats??? Honestly it was really funny how bad some of these were.
Amazing hip-hop album full of unique, inventive, and abstract rhythms and ideas, with strong rhythmic rapping. Honestly a must listen for everyone.
Pretty surreal album that feels like a more flowery Radiohead style, immerses you in a unique experience.
A softer more ambient/compressed album with a consistent strong style and well blended vocals.
One of my favorite albums of all time. It's a unique experience, and an amazing one.
While nothing special for Kendrick's standards, a great album nonetheless
Never been a Playboi Carti fan to begin with, and this album took some strides in different directions, but I can't say it was a good album, despite some interesting tracks and features.
