kc's takesies : i wasn't sure how i would feel about this one but i actually really liked it. some songs were thematically repetitive and can definitely blend together, but overall i really didn't HATE any of it. it was actually really good to me. the sound of it was a lot different than i'd expect, and it honestly has a lot of bangers. i think i'm gonna have to relisten to A LOT of these and pick up on more of the lyrics and songs that maybe i slept on during my first listen. RIP mr. juice ! a hit maker !
zu's review: so...let me start off by saying that while i do aim to respect those who have passed on, i do have some criticisms about this album. so im just going to do what i did with mac miller and assume that it was out of juice's control whether the less enjoyable songs on this album were released. it was rather overlong. fortunately, the songs that were good were REALLY good. i will say i had a bit of a bias when he leaned into the emo side a bit more cuz that's a source of nostalgia for me. as a body of work, i cant help but feel like the people publishing his music just put all of his unreleased work out there, and imo some things are better left in files. then again, who are they to curate a dead man's work, i suppose.
what irked me was the demons trope and obsessant mentions of codeine almost every other song. it seemed he was word vomiting and those tracks were rough drafts of things he wrote on a whim. again, i feel like the fat had to be cut from this album, but it's hard to do with juice wrld gone. may he rest in peace <3
FINAL ALBUM RATING: ★ ★ ★ ½
