Finished yesterday. It was solid. I forgot what tracks stood out since a lot of the album just seems like one gigantic song, but I definitely like it

I need to listen to this more. I was not expecting a concept album. My main issue is how things sometimes may feel overproduced especially how he sounds when he's rapping. Kinda get lost in the effects and production. Lot of Travis Scott and MBDTF on this. Sometimes the weaving in and out of genres/sounds works and is dope but at times, it takes me out of the experience particularly one of the more punk songs on the album.

That beat where it sounds like a hair clipper is dope lol.

i prefer SYRE over EYRS... bars seem rushed/forced at points..

I recall Jada saying he made SYRE over a 2 year period. wonder how much time he put into this one..

Great album. This is more eccentric and experimental compared to SYRE (album should have been nominated... yea its that good) which is a great thing as it complements the yin/yang dualities in terms of concept.

Also his collabs with Willow are always on point, her music is also worth checking out

Album is quality. I thought Syre was just decent on first listen, but that electric syre remix album he made was HEAT and really gave me faith in his next project. ERYS didn't dissapoint. :ehh:

I kinda hate how much I like this album as a whole even though I wish my man wasn't so cotton mouthed in a lot of it. Sometimes theres pretentious shyt in here but I really like the concept as a whole.

Liked Willow's singing
Liked his singing more on the crooning than the punk stuff tbh
Man can flow only wish he allowed his voice to shine instead of doing too much to it.

7.5-8/10 album
