Album Rating: 3.2

never been a Quint fan tbh :-(

Quint loved the hell out of this

Album Rating: 3.5

neither am i but i don't not like him either

Album Rating: 3.2

Wouldn't say I dislike but his shtick comes across super forced to me, idk. if he's getting good artists exposure I ain't complaining

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

not a fan of first reaction videos at all. I feel like sometimes they force the person to have exaggerated reactions to the songs. Big Cunt is cool though, I guess.

whoever bigquint is he possibly couldnt be worse than Rap Critic

Album Rating: 3.5

yeah i don't like reaction videos but there's something interesting in watching someone's raw reaction without them having time to process it. unless it's forced (which i don't think BQ is) i think they have their place

Album Rating: 4.0

little inconsistent here and there but man some of these things are just bangin

potential through the ceiling

what do yall think of Lamb

Album Rating: 3.2

very beautiful and chill, not on par with the best tracks from this but I enjoy it



totally agree with the comment I saw that 'when they break up like Odd Future this will be the music video I come back to and feel sad'

Album Rating: 3.5

i dont think theyre as individually talented or original as some of the odd future members



this lp is probably better than any group lp of put out though (or at least more consistent)

Album Rating: 3.2

I mean they don't have an Earl but that's a high bar to set, Earl being the best rapper of his generation and all



for a debut I think this is fuckin magnificent and I'm keen to see how they develop

not as individually talented yeah but they have far better chemistry than OF a lot of the time and better songwriting skills as a collective

Album Rating: 3.5

they dont have earl, they dont have frank, they dont have left brain, they kind of have tyler in ameer (from a flow / style perspective, tyler is also a great producer and songwriter though)



kevin is maybe a better songwriter than tyler but i need a bigger sample size

Album Rating: 3.2

I'd agree with ryus, the flow of this album and the give-and-take between the five main members is much more effortless than even the best of OF's stuff. to me Frank and Earl never really felt like members of that collective, for example when you get to White on OF Tape 2 it just sticks out like a sore thumb because they never found a smooth way to incorporate Frank's talents into their overall sound. also about 70% (give or take) of any OF tape is bound to be Tyler doing his thing while these guys have a much more even process where all the members seem to be equally engaged

Album Rating: 3.5

im gonna have to disagree robro, the early of stuff had some great tyler/earl tyler/frank songs (orange juice, she), and frank and earl have both been on two of the better songs on their solo lps (sunday on doris, super rich kids on channel orange)



brockhampton as a collective are more balanced and consistent here though yeah, i think more effort was for sure put into making this a concise well-produced LP than those early of tapes which kind of felt like a mish-mashy sample of odd future's sound



id love to be proven wrong here though, im on the brockhampton bandwagon rn, but i think pretty highly of those odd future boys

Album Rating: 3.2

those latter songs are two of my absolute favourites by either artist, but I think they illustrate perfectly why Earl/Frank are a far better combo than either Earl or Frank with the rest of Odd Future. I can't imagine Tyler working on either of those songs, nor can I imagine either of those songs working outside of their respective albums (Sunday especially makes a fucking amazing trilogy with Hive and Chum). Tyler/Earl obviously had some great chemistry early on but it kind of faded to me, and it still didn't quite translate to Earl being a comfortable member of the collective imo (being afk for a year didn't help that either)
