Reviewer: Mohammed Hussain Rating: 5/10 Worst Track: 32.22, Algorhythm Favorite Track: 53.49, 42.26
This is an unusual album that showcases both highlights and significant flaws. The record suffers from poor mixing across most tracks and lacks coherence between songs, creating a disjointed listening experience. The flow feels misconstrued despite containing some very strong tracks with powerful instrumentals.
53.49 stands out as a personal favorite, featuring a strong instrumental foundation and a well-executed blend of different genres. The mixing on this track works significantly better than others, which often sound unfinished by comparison.
Overall, the album feels "thrown together" with a notable lack of structure. However, it does contain some compelling sounds that may indicate Gambino is paving the way for a new stylistic direction to explore in future work. While the execution is flawed, there are glimpses of potential within the experimental approach.
