Let's Start Here (studio album) by Lil Yachty

3.5 out of 5

Pretty impressive album from an artist who's fame came from a totally different music genre.

He surrounded himself in veterans of the psych-rock genre sound, (which he is more than clearly a fan of) and attempted to make his own version of it.
It sounds as good as possibly could have for a first attempt.

Great album, one of the best albuns in 2023.
Some things remember me Pink Floyd, the Dark SOTM.
And i like this

Absolutely love this 9/10

Great album by Yachty! Great change of style loved the overall vibe and sounds of the album.

Almost all the rappers to have confronted a "rock type" project crashed, sometimes very brutally by the way, Lil Yachty is finally maybe the only one to have succeeded in this feat. Moreover it is surely one of the biggest turnaround in the history of contemporary music when we see how much the clownish rapper was very criticized (sometimes rightly). Certainly, Let's Start Here can't be confined to a "Rock" project either, it's a psychedelic work that spreads over a rich and creative palette, letting Yachty's versatility speak for itself, which is no surprise. Everything is perfectly articulated, attractive from start to finish, meticulously thought out. I really appreciate this way of working in fractions or sets. Since "Lil Boat" Yachty was trying by all means to write the second chapter of his story without finding the formula to achieve it, but it is done here, demonstrating to the world his potential and his talent. He seems to escape this bad spiral he created for himself, but as he says through this album, failure is not an end in itself. This album sounds like a lesson. What if Yachty had dictated new rules for the future of Hip Hop?

“Let's Start Here.” Dives head first into Psychedelia. At its best moments, the album turns into an enthralling soundscape. The run from “sHouLd i B?” to “REACH THE SUNSHINE.” is fantastic and a great way to end the record. Sadly, for a good portion of the album, while personally ambitious, it struggles to rise above average psych rock. It has created the desired sound but doesn’t fully understand how to utilize it. There is an emotional undercurrent of romance running through the lyrics. It adds an intimacy to the sound even if the lyrics can be a little surface level. A curiosity with signs of growth for Lil Yachty.

what an amazing genre shift from Lil Yachty an amazing attempt and blend of Psychedelic music into his regular music. AOTY so far

Amazing album by lil boat. Heard it was going to be psychadelic inspired, but i didn't expect this kind of quality. Yachty really impresses with this, and i hope he makes more like this.

As your average psych rock enjoyer, I find this impressive to say the least.

This was interesting. It didn't blew my mind, but i respect what Lil Yachty is trying to do here. the BLACK SEMINOLE is going to be one of the best tracks of the year for sure
