As expected, Earl delivers as a lyricist, though thematically this album seems all over the place and without a clear direction. Earl's flow and delivery, always a bit laid back (and sorta "sleepy" if you know what I mean) has never been his strongest point I think (though admittedly it fits perfectly with some verses like on Super Rich Kids, or Chum), at least compared to someone like Tyler, but while I was worried it could get grating in large doses, I have to say it didn't bother me at all on the album. Partly because there was some attempt to change that (also by vocal effects on some tracks) but I think also because there were a lot of features. Which were rarely on Earl's level (Domo is one exception), but I for one welcomed them... Overall, I expected a lot, and I am not disappointed. Also, I have to say, since it dropped at the end of last year, Chum has become one of my favourite hip hop songs ever."  [+]  Reply

"When these sisters nail a pop/rock song, they do so just as good if not better than female-fronted artists of the 80s like fleetwood mac and the bangles.

I think it was a pitchfork article that brought my attention to how much their music seems influenced by music of 1987, or the late 80s to be less specific. From their predilection to rock out a bit like heart or the bangles or the Jacko-like vocal tics of lead singer Este, both elements illustrated well on "forever", these girls bring the pop/rock with a splash of R&B. (Ok, check out defiant breakup song "the wire" for even more michael jacksonesque singing style and stevie nicks-like rhythm.) For this type of music, the first 4 songs are UNstoppable with an awesome display of songcraft. The rest is pretty good too, but just short of the near perfection of "falling" and "if i could change your mind" (with awesome backing vox on chorus). But DAMN -- this is their debut and a stellar debut at that. I look forward to hearing their interpretation of pop/rock circa 1990 on their next album! ;-)"  [+]  Reply

I really thought the band would go in a more pop-direction on this album with all the recent success, but they didn't. In fact, they almost went the opposite direction with more laid out garage-band types of tracks with a bit of jamming. It's actually a pretty cool album. It doesn't have knock-out songs like Howlin For You, Lonely Boy, Tighten Up or Gold On The Ceiling, but it still comes together quite well as a collective album. Weight of Love is stellar, probably my favourite track off the entire thing, but I think the best moment of the album is the three closing tracks. Just really good rock songs. Surprised and impressed. "  [+]  Reply

I'm not saying they sound like Pavement, but you can feel the similarities in the way the album jumps around. The track 'Borrowed Time' has the greatest chorus The Damned never wrote whilst stand out track Stoned & Starving is easily song of the year for me. Will it stand the test of time, I dunno....what I do know is that it sounds like a potential classic debut album. "  [+]  Reply

There aren't any songs that feel like filler or pandering to his old frat-rap sound as he's found necessary on previous albums. It's a straightforward collection of songs about how he should have drowned in his depression and yet he's 'swimming' instead. His lyrics have less of the wit he's known for and more emotional prowess over some lush, and often funky, production. The authentic positivity of this album is a refreshing splice of life in Miller's discography and the project ranks among his greatest for me. "  [+]  Reply

Singles like 'Angels' got me hoping for a mixtape with that tropical type sound and some gospel 'Ultralight Beam' stuff mixed in. Chance went for a very mainstream pop-rap sound here and even makes some party songs. I think the feature list is terrible and I never thought I would see Future or Young Thug on a Chance mixtape. Maybe I was hoping he would stay in his druggy phase forever, which probably led to my disappointment even more. It definitely seems as though Chance is maturing, which is good since he is now a father. I do however enjoy some moments on here quite a bit. All We Got, Summer Friends, Blessings, and Angels are the high points for me. Maybe it's a grower and overtime I'll learn to love it. It'll be interesting to see where Chance goes from here, whether he'll go back to his prior sounds or continue to dig deeper into the mainstream. "  [+]  Reply

People have an obsession with watching other people, an obsession with voyeurism (to a point), seeing what other people do in what are typically private situations. It’s evident in our movies, our TV shows and our music (Laura Mulvey has written extensively on this subject). But the beautiful thing about music is it exists as a catharsis, it exists for the purpose of being an outlet for the creator as well as the listener. A musician writes about the emotions they are experiencing or the situation they’re in and people listen to it and say “I was/am in the same spot, and I understand”. Mike Hadreas puts himself on full display for everyone on this album. This album is intimate, like reading someone’s diary, yet it is also triumphant in a way. This album is about dealing with things, dealing with unpleasant things that happen to you, looking them in the eye and refusing to be taken down by them. Whether Hadreas is slowly singing in a voice just above a whisper over a sparse set of instrumentation (typically just a reverbed piano) or singing something more layered and instrumentally involved, you feel a connection to him. The beauty in this album cannot be overstated, it’s powerful, emotionally evocative stuff."  [+]  Reply
