Not for me:

- 3 or 4 total verses on THE WHOLE ALBUM
- no OF features (where's EarlWolf, God dammit:upsetfavre:)
- Barely sounds Hip-Hop
.
nikka this ain’t 2010 that shyt ain’t coming out :RussellMartBrook:
They doing their own thing musically. OF isn’t a thing anymore. If you looking for Tyler to make more hip hop shyt on his future albums then you might as well stop listening to him unless he decides to drop a little EP he won’t be doing much rapping on his own shyt​

That's pretty much where I'm at. Y'all can keep that weird just to be weird shyt.

After two full listens, I liked flower boy better TBH. It was more...cohesive.
IGOR is good though. This was clearly his experimental album. In some parts it sounds too similar to Gambino's Awaken My Love, and while that's not a bad thing, its just not Tyler's lane. I'm definitely keeping some songs on rotate though

after three full listens through... this is Tyler evolving his NERD love/admiration/reverence/obsession into a full sound that is Tyler’s, and Tyler’s alone. I can hear all his influences during different pockets, I can even hear some of his earlier work like VCR; but unlike a lot of his earlier work, admiration doesn’t bleed into imitation.

Sonically, this album is on some other other other shyt. I know some are complaining about the lack of raps... but I honestly can’t remember a single moment where I cared (and that’s not a shot; to each his own!). I just wanted to hear more.

Tyler knocked this shyt out of the park, bat-flipped, then hit the Prince Fielder celebration at home plate...

He better get a Grammy nod for this.

I've run this about three times. First time, I had a long drive, and was able to run it front to back uninterrupted.

Album is absolute FIRE. Continues the streak of breakup albums (since that's what this seems like) having a pristine record as far as quality goes.
