Title: Tyler, the Creator - Igor
Post by: formula420 on May 23, 2019, 02:04:04 PM: I have been a fan of Tyler's since like 2010 and it has been very interesting to watch him develop as an artist. I really enjoyed Flower Boy so I was stoked when he announced igor. And I do like igor.

Honestly, I agreed with pretty much everything Anthony fantano said in his review. Slightly tongue in cheek, but still expressing real emotion and even heartbreak.

First listen through I was like 'seems good, but wtf just happened?' after a few more listens it got more cohesive and I was able to follow the story arc. The rough production compliments the raw emotion in Tyler's (and guests) lyrics.

Music video for earfquake was pretty cool too. I love Tyler's videos overall.

Overall, very solid album and very different from his earlier stuff like goblin (which I still love). If you are interested in the R&B type of hip hop give it a listen.

What does you think about this album or Tyler's recent direction in general.
