65/100
This is growing on me. What I appreciate and respect Lil Nas X for on this album is his fearless ways and how I got to see the hypocrisy in american culture and media. When the music video for Call Me By Your Name came out, he was pushing the buttons of all conspiracy theorists' that is (pretty much) obsessed with "exposing" satanic symbolism and everything. And the fact that people reacted the way they did, both the conspiracy theorists and the cringey entitled "christians" really made me realize how dumb most of these people are; both misinterpreting the video about him owning up to his sexuality of being gay, and taking their own gospel/sources out of context to make themselves look smarter. But enough of that let's get into the album.
Montero starts off with Call Me By Your Name which, despite the catchy as hell flute on the backend, has really never hit my radar of great - maybe it'll grow like some of the others. Dead Right Now is a very by-the-numbers slick trap-song with singing on it, nothing original but sticks to its gun decently. The first real banger is Industry Baby that contains a charismatic trumpet, a heavy bass-instrumental, a profuse delivery from Montero and a definitively nice feature from Jack Harlow. That's What I Want is even better, that is my JAM. "Cause it DON'T FEEL RIGHT when its LATE AT NIGHT and is JUST ME IN MY DREEEAAMS", whooo that shiii bangs!!!!!!! Been listening to this song alone at least thrice a day for the past few weeks. I can almost say nothing bad about this track, this is undoubtedly the favorite hit single of 2021 of mine.
After a confusing skit The Art of Realization, Scoop is a let-down, majorly. Not only does Montero sound less excited about his song, not only does Doja Cat perform a underwhelmingly misfire and overwhelmingly awkward verse (as usual), but the instrumental is so half-baked- yeah moving on. Thankfully, One of Me is a bright song with a bright production. In the middle of that and the modern trappy Dolla Sign Time (with a fine-enough Megan Thee Stallion feature), there is the song Lost In The Citadel, which sounds like indie rock music with pop vocals on top of it; the results is mediocre but nothing more (and cleaarly not as well-executed as some others in the same lane down the line). The more folk-inspired head bumper Tales of Dominica is leagues better and more sophisticated. There's another ballad-y song right after, Sun Goes Down, which is very clearly Kid Cudi-inspired with the singing. Meanwhile Void is a very well-done indie rock song, with live-heavy drums and the adventurous shape of the production. We get an alternative-R&B flavored joint in Life After Salem, just after Don't Want It which is one of the better trap songs across the record. We close out with a surprisingly acoustic cut Am I Dreaming that features a surprisingly fitting Miley Cyrus, capturing a surprisingly wonderful harmony with Lil Nas X. The sound of that song is also a good way to end one of the few mainstream releases this year that actually has bangers on it.
Many people were worried on his behalf after Old Town Road on where he would go after that: would he be a one-hit-wonder? Would he start making music that sounds and feels different? Would he ever be able to top that success? Would his debut full-length even have memorable songs?
Well that last question gets a certain Yes.
Also no gay stuff but he is one sexy mf'er gnaa'zayiin. [First added to this chart: 05/26/2025]
