Inconsistent, unfortunately.

The experience is being ricocheted between songs that work and songs that don't, at least not as much... where a moment either makes or breaks making the track tolerable. "Fix You" and "Closer" are the best of the good moments, far and away.

Superb imagery and exposition. Impressively skilled as a writer, producer, and singer. "98 Mercedes" is outstanding. A perfect showcase of his skill. The opening of "Moon in Venus" is... odd. But the rest of the track is incredible, as expected. "Light Blue Air" is another yes. "F150" is a hard listen — in a good way — and is an impactful end.

I will note I am not completely sold on the segues though I've warmed up to them over some time.

C'mon, bro. You're already too much. Lose the two other personas. How embarrassing.

I had no expectations going into this and was pleasantly surprised. Catchy hooks and good vocal layering with humorous similes and wordplay. She shines mostly notably on tracks produced by ​jakkyboí. Track 1's hook is such a banger.
The rest is... all right.

0/5.

"It's just screechy noises. It's not music."
I get what you're trying to say. And I would be more inclined to agree there's more to it... if there was more to it.

Rhyming, structure, organization, vocals, delivery, substance: all entirely awful. Almost all tracks are meaningless and are clearly written with the same overdone formula. Features fall very, very short. "PUNK!" gets a pass. It works. And I feel guilty for actually liking it.

I wish I could ... read more

Such a forgettable and lazy chorus. And some predictable vocal inclusions and rhyming.
Yet not insufferably tasteless. Simple piano melody. Decent lyrical performance and content.

I don't know, I didn't despise it and I don't know what that means and I don't think I like that.

Not bad.

Anti-patriotism, sarcastically delivered. An expression of the status of Earth and the progression of life with notes of personal heartbreak and remorse.

His vocal performance is truly captivating the second you hear it. The vocal riffs executed throughout are intoxicating. Through his vocals and lyricism, his emotions are transparent.

"Heebyjeebys" is such an effective and incredible opener. "Son of Man" comes through amazingly strong. "History of Violence" is ... read more

"Virginia Interlude" is perfectly simple and ethereal, further complemented by its segue from track 5. Otherwise, the album is passable. Rapidly repetitive and derivative.

'dying lately' is not the worst. It suffers from several issues, such as: volume imbalance, lack of variety (lyrically and vocally) emotionally-stagnant, nothing compelling, and some seriously questionable artistic choices.

"meow" - why?
Any pop-punk artist could have made 'poison' or "state of mind".
"dead summer" - The Discord notification? Why?

Again, not a bad listen. Disappointingly one-dimensional, immature, and not very interesting or ... read more

Ew. An hour of Carti moaning and whining. This is completely horrible. Such low-effort, he couldn't be bothered to record anything new so he just copied and pasted the same take over and over. Beat selection was a letdown. I didn't expect much and I'm not even shocked but this is pathetic.

Never, ever again.

No, no, no.

When he uses a regular voice or sings (and he shouldn't), that's when he starts to sound like everyone else. With that being said, this is mostly misses. Although that *is* my attitude toward his discography — I sift through all that doesn't work for me, leaving me with few tracks I enjoy enough to listen to again (only 1 here); scream-vocals accompanied by heavily-distorted instrumentals is what I search for.

And ah yes, Lil Darkie's terrible growl ... read more

Yuck.

Features? Not worth it. Ad-libs? Excessive and awful. Flow? THE SAME.

So repetitive, so unoriginal, so boring, so pointless.

Won't return.

Coming from someone who honestly enjoys Nilsson's voice, this didn't work for me. It's not bad for what it is. Some poor choices (vocal processing, off-key inclusions, being a niche genre) resulting in something with no staying power that *I* won't listen to again.

Track 1: Average at best, though I despise the processing of her voice.
Track 2: Instrumental is too reminiscent of a Kylie Minogue song.
Track 3: Bad. Her laugh at the end is the only redeeming quality.
Track 4: ... read more

Highly structured. Glaringly self-referential. Arceneaux's nasal delivery and his and Petrou's general performances are what they always are: disappointingly formulaic. The ad-libs are hilariously annoying. And it took until track 8 for me to care at all.

The only aspects worth mentioning are the production and lyricism. Instrumentals *can* be enjoyed, though buried under the same mid-ness $B is known for. And there is enough lyrical variety to exhibit some writing prowess. Though ... read more

Trippie continues to recycle the same rhymes and rhythms with the same caliber of punchlines and similes.

Mindless. Gross. Lazy. Bland. Annoyingly offbeat. What you should look for from Trippie is not here.

Aside from just being a terrible album, every track contains AT LEAST one line that reduces it to what it is: nothing.

An obvious narcissist. Absolutely repulsive.

A revisit to this EP was a wake-up call; in contrast to the shortage of congruency in most of his other releases.

Production is generally clean. Lyricism approaches its peak. While the vocal levels are not quite adjacent, the expression of emotion and the overall tone is very consistent. The scream tone in track 3 is strikingly clean and well-executed. This refinement on the vocal track brought it together. 'Red Light!' is easily the main obstacle it faces.

A 2017 time capsule.

It's interesting to catch a glance of what his music was before it became "mind-entering". Regardless, it loses speed quickly. There's practically no semblance of order or cohesion. It is not one story or one sound, in the worst of ways. Still, there is some good to be found. Within the features? Uh, no. From the sporadic moments that show good production value or the intent to create something good. And when this isn't the case, it falls apart.
