The Music Slut Committee
Steve"There are not many rappers in the modern era that are musicians themselves. I am happy that members of Odd Future (and their offshoots) were recognized for their talents musically, lyrically, and for performance. This album is an absolute stunner from Tyler that I don’t think anyone ever expected from really anyone. You can tell this is such a personal story of him as he put everything into it, and its effect.
I’m a sucker for a theme and concept album, so when my friend Brandon threw this to me, I was very very into it. It also helped me understand Tyler’s previous work, working backwards. The mass confusion that came after Flower Boy and him alluding to his sexuality being other than straight was a shock as he had some very controversial homophobic lyrics in prior works. What makes this album work is his honesty with himself. He likes chicks and dudes, and he wrote about that. He didn’t have to hide any of it, and that authenticity shined through. It’s truly one of my favorite albums of the century. It’s wild, aggressive, heartfelt, and down right beautiful. He’s not a good singer, but his emotion drives enough to be convincing otherwise" - Nick

SLUG TOP 💯
Salty P. SlugI remember the day this album released. I was 21 and crying in my parents' driveway at its sheer scale and beauty. I've always loved Tyler, but this album is really his finest work. The production is frenetic but perfect, and it's just brimming with just different enough concepts and ideas to never get boring. The sampling is excellent. Favorite tracks are "RUNNING OUT OF TIME" and "ARE WE STILL FRIENDS?"

EVERY ALBUM I’VE LISTENED TO EVER
PepperGotta respect the character arc on this one, bro went from homophobic to gay. All jokes aside, this has BANGER storytelling and the closer hits different.

augustlededobjectively tyler's best, i find the more r&b and pop focused music to be a surprising change to tyler's music that he actually handles super well. the story is superb and probably his best yet

My top 50 Albums of all time.
GwydianIGOR! 😈 Bitch I'm IGOR! Love is a fragile thing and nothing communicates that better than IGOR. It's Tyler the Creators best work in my opinion and the craftmanship is nothing short of genius combined with hard work. I used to blast this album in my headphones while biking around the suburbs at night and in my opinion that's where it really shines with no lights to distract from the fireworks in your ears. IGOR'S THEME sets the tone of the album beautifully and then it just continues to deliver with bass boosted heartbreak.
