    My opinion on the album is changing over time, and tracks are growing on me - however I can't help but feel that this is a slight misstep in Tyler's progression and I am slightly underwhelmed.

    Musically the album is all over the place. It is undeniably Tyler, and really caters to all fans of his diverse career - but focus seems to be lacking. I'm unsure how I feel about this.

    Musically the album is all over the place. It is undeniably Tyler, and really caters to all fans of his diverse career - but focus seems to be lacking. I'm unsure how I feel about this. There are moments I really love, but they can be short and then replaced by drawn out monotone beats. There is also WAY too much DJ Drama on this record. I like him, but less is more.

    Tyler's more poignant lyrics from his previous two records can also be found, however this album feels way more self-indulgent and falls back on bragging and an array of other consumerist based/trivial topics often found in the tired genre, leading to a number of cringe-y lines that really take away from the music and the whole experience. His music is so unique and well thought out it's a shame that he can't quite full commit to keeping himself out of a box.

    I'm going to keep listening and hope that I fall more in love with the record. Highlights so far include SIR BAUDELAIRE, MASSA, RISE, JUGGERNAUT and WILSHIRE. Everything else didn't make a huge impact.    … Expand

    This is a perfect example of music being overrated because of the current status of an artist. Tyler, the Creator has been on a tear in recent years, releasing excellent albums one after another. He is deservedly a cultural darling.

    That being said, CMIYGL simply isn't up to par with most of Tyler's work. It's his worst album since Cherry Bomb. CMIYGL sounds like a 2010-era mixtape with    This is a perfect example of music being overrated because of the current status of an artist.

    That being said, CMIYGL simply isn't up to par with most of Tyler's work. It's his worst album since Cherry Bomb. CMIYGL sounds like a 2010-era mixtape with extremely annoying DJ Drama vocals throughout the entire thing. The actual music simply isn't that enjoyable to listen to - the sounds and hooks on this album are mostly forgettable, even after multiple listens. Tyler's rapping is solid throughout the album, can't lie.

    The biggest issue with this album is the production. The mixing is absolutely awful throughout the entire album. Vocals are not clear and beats are muddy. It's not as bad as Cherry Bomb but I would hope not as Cherry Bomb has some of the worst production/mixing ever heard on a commercial release of that magnitude.

    Tyler has put out plenty of music that is mixed cleanly, so clearly this is a creative choice, and it's a really bad one. As far as this album winning a Grammy, that is a slap in the face to more than 30 hip-hop albums which came out last year that are all far better than CMIYGL with far more artistic value. A few of them are:

    1176 - Guapdad 4000
    To Kill a Sunrise - Kota the Friend and Statik Selektah
    Clouds - NF
    Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine - Brockhampton
    The Off-Season - J. Cole
    Planet Her - Doja Cat
    USee4Yourself - IDK
    Vince Staples - Vince Staples
    The House Is Burning - Isaiah Rashad
    King's Disease II - Nas
    Certified Lover Boy - Drake
    Donda - Kanye West
    The Melodic Blue - Baby Keem
    Life of a Don - Don Toliver
    Asin9ne - Tech N9ne
    Murd & Mercy - B.o.B

    Further proof that the Grammy's are a popularity contest first and a celebration of art last.    … Expand

    Glad Tyler is back to rapping, unfortunately I got too used to the type of sound Flower Boy and Igor provided (which is when I started listening to him) so it doesn't hit as hard to me. Also prefer Wolf over it, but I love rapping Tyler regardless. Just not my sound.

    In this album, Tyler The Creator created something very unique and original but not very catchy, feels overloaded.

    Coming from IGOR, a grand album was expected. Tyler disappointed heavily. Not only were these songs boring, but only two months after release, barely anyone still regularly listens to the album. A complete flop.

    “Call Me If You Get Lost” is undoubtedly a strong showing by Tyler, The Creator, to say the very least. Despite this album’s fantastic structuring and delivery, however, something that is always to be expected with this artist is that what he creates next will undoubtedly be even better.

    A strong addition to Tyler’s catalogue and a good intergenerational connection for the fans. [Aug 2021, p.69]

    To Tyler’s credit, he didn’t rest on his laurels. Instead, he crafted a concise piece of work about a very confident adult realizing his own ego is both his best asset and indeed his worst enemy.
