Compared to Skies' last album "Life of a Dark Rose", this effort is less consistent. The best way to describe this project is that the highs are high, and the lows are really not great. Overall it was a solid listening experience which is sure to keep Lil Skies relevant.
Favourite songs: I, Mansion, Name in the Sand, Highs and Lows.
Solid effort. Some songs are forgettable. Favourite songs are “Level Best” and “Shame.”
Such a unique and refreshing sound. Lyrics are fun energetic, and clever.
This albums is daunting. The length is a huge turn off which made it difficult to even sift through.
Best Songs:
- Perplexing Pegasus
- Guatemala

While it's always exciting to hear new Earl Sweatshirt, this album definitely did not live up to the standards of his last three albums. A lesson that might be learned here is that just because an album is experimental does not mean that it's good. There are some golden nuggets throughout this album, but overall many of the songs come off as unfinished, lackluster, and in need of better production. Moreover, Earl has seemed to have lost his ability to pack lyrics with a punch, which made his ... read more
There is a handful of great tracks on here, but beyond that, this album is forgettable.
This album however is most likely just another stepping stone in Trippie Redd's career that will help elevate him to better prospects to accomplish better things.
A great blend of clever rap and memorable pop. Drake slightly turns his focus from songs about reminiscing to songs about the present and future, with lines about staying relevant in a decade and leveling up amongst his rap contemporaries.
Logic delivers here in the prime objective of this album....to write braggadocios, clever rap. Logic's technical ability is on display here, as well as his canny ability to seamlessly copy other styles.
Drake delivers a project that undoubtedly satisfies a usual Drake fan. However, an album containing some of the biggest hits of his career fails to dabble in anything..."new".
With that being said, this is easily one of the most entertaining albums of the year, with great pop tunes and great raps.
What this album is aching for, as well as this career, is social commentary the extends beyond several lines. Drake needs to do what Jay Z did and start going deep...

A great concept album from a brilliant songwriter. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of a scene at a drama filled party.
Mac Miller's greatest project. From start to finish, the album brings the listener on a drug fuelled journey into the life of an addict who's on the verge of fully understanding their issues and realizing the complete determent that drug use and bad habits have on one's life.
Mac Miller's rapping is at it's peak on this album, and even the singing tracks are hard hitting. The beats are also something to cherish. The only issue one might find with this album is the length, sitting at 24 ... read more
At first listen, this album confuses and even annoys. But upon return, one finds the vision in what Mac Miller had for this album, and songs like 2009 and Come Back to Earth make it hard to not like the album. Although there are major shortcomings, such as Mac Miller's sub-par singing on quite a few tracks, as well as the slow paced manner of the album, there are several memorable moments that make it worth the listen.
BEST SONGS: Come Back to Earth, Self Care, 2009.
An album definitely in need of trimming. Some quality songs and fun raps hidden in a blur of mediocre-at-best tracks.
