A definite grower, but otherwise uniformly remarkable.

I don't know what it is, this album just doesn't really appeal to me. Maybe Brockhampton is played out for me but I doubt it. There doesn't seem to be a sense of direction on the record which hadn't been too big a problem on earlier albums but here I don't hear anything that I can grab onto. I don't really care for the feels or the flexing, both of which come at the listener indiscriminately. I feel like things could definitely be worse for them and it seems like they dedicate more time to their problems with every release. I enjoy some songs but most have less effect on me than I'd like. Also don't really care for bearface, normally my favorite member, going all new-Kanye on us during his limited exposure.

Great album. I especially love the end of the record and buzzcut, coutonme too. IMO it is still the worst brockhampton album but I have loved each other of their record, I still want to listen to what they got next.

Oh boy, this one grows on me more after every listen. It really just goes off from start to end. I will say that from Chain On to Bankroll it's not nearly as strong as the rest, and I have weird feelings about windows but I bet I'll like it before too long. Aside from those, Roadrunner is the group at its best. I could talk about how great each track is but I think The Light Part II might be the biggest accomplishment here. The art of closing an album is a hard one, but this is one of the best closing tracks I've ever heard.

Esperava que era pior e acabei curtindo! Boa surpresa!

Wow! Definitely a step above their last album. I love a great closing track, really hits you in the feels. To be fair I've only heard Saturation 3 and their last album Ginger? But I enjoyed this more than both.

I never thought that they would top the Saturation Trilogy, but this album is phenomenal. It's incredibly tight and focused, not wasting a single second. It hits you hard and fast, and it's infectiously catchy. It's Brockhampton at their absolute best. Don't sleep on this one.
