    A beautiful album about a homosexual relationship he had, not really my thing but its not bad music by any stretch.

    This album really shows Tyler's Full potential and shows that he can make different style of music, IGOR is basically a journey through this cycle of Jealousy, Love, Heartbreak, and creating a LOOP at the end of the album.

    I feel like the album is more personal and it feels like the complete fabula (with great looping). Very good producing, but still I like Flower Boy more

    beautiful album, full of detail. the lyrical content will be timeless, and this album is the best example i can think of that uses samples in such a masterful and creative way. very re-listenable, personally this is a 10 for me.

    Toda música é um 9,5 acima com exceção de IDLYA e Puppet que ainda não são músicas ruins

    so creatively thought out & produced !! i love that it's full of different textures, and layers and details (even the finger snaps honest to god, Slapped) listening to it is just an entire experience, you don't just follow the story, you Feel it through

    first of all, I think this albums concept is brilliant, and the way the story is executed into the music is perfect. We start off the album with “Igor’s Theme”. this song starts with a 30 second note of a synth being played. It leaves you to wonder why this is taking so long. After the time is it up amazing sampled drums to kick in. I think this intro song is perfect in the way it sets upfirst of all, I think this albums concept is brilliant, and the way the story is executed into the music is perfect.

After the time is it up amazing sampled drums to kick in. I think this intro song is perfect in the way it sets up the entire album. next, with the second track on the album, we have the most viral song, EARFQUAKE. This isn’t your typical dance/Internet song. It’s filled with many different layers that all the hard work and time with many different featured artists to work on this track it paid off. My personal take on Carti’s lines are all positive, although many people dislike them. As we go onto this track, we see character progression, which is a common theme in concept album. for those who don’t know, this album is about a guy who falls in love with someone else else of the same gender, who is already dating a female. The album starts off with your eczema. How is falling in love, then goes on revenge rants, and makes crazy threats. When we get to the second to last track of the album titled, I don’t love you anymore. It is exactly how it sounds and for the last bit, are we still friends, my personal favorite off the album I think really sets the tone. and I think that’s a songs in an album that really set the tone of the album, and carry the most weight, the most popular song, the intro, and the finale. I think this album did a great job of that, nevertheless, the music was pleasing to listen to. I give it a… 9.6.… Expand

    I literally just listened to "IGOR, but it's just my voice" and the fact that all of the songs sounded good there is just a testament to how good the traditional IGOR is

    This Album was an amazing blend of emotion, an amazing love story, the mix of RnB, soul, trap, and rap makes a interesting album. The best songs were earthquake, Are we still friends, puppet.

    This LP shows the masterization of the grow that we saw on flower boy, the story shown its incredible, the high pitched vocals fit well, and the beats are amazing, perfect project.

    el mejor album de amor que se ha hecho en el mundo cada canción es un 10/10 y el final es simplemente espectacular y todo el que diga que este album es malo es un imbecil.

    This is a great project by Tyler I love what he did with the idea of it and the production on this thing is just absolutely fantastic. The songs on this from Earfquake to New Magic Wand to Are We Still friends are all so great. This album is just a masterpiece

    this is currently my favorite album. there is not a single skip on the album, every single song is important for the story and evolution of the character of igor. but i will say that puppet is probably the weakest song on the album even though it has a kanye feature.

    10/10 - IGOR is insanely good. With unmatched self-production, lyrics to make you think, and a beautiful variety of sounds flawlessly fading into each other, IGOR is classified as a genre-defying masterpiece. Each track compliments the others, with transitions and a common sound to tie the project together and grant it the 10/10 status it deserves.

    Things improve markedly when he plays to his strengths with the nuanced narrative of “A Boy Is A Gun”, but ultimately such moments [are] hard to hear over the pitiable “Puppet” and “Earfquake”, functional pop wisely rejected by Justin Bieber and Rihanna. When the narrative sags and his mind seems to wander, it just isn’t enough, no matter how stylish the trimmings. [Aug 2019, p.68]

    For the most part, Tyler has opted out of his rapping heritage, preferring pitch-altered singing vocals which will split some opinion. However, this elevated IGOR beyond the mere confines of genre, to a substantially great work of art, cementing Tyler's case as one of this decade's most essential artists.

    It’s an intriguing album with few dips (only Kanye’s verse on Puppet sounds rather phoned in and lacklustre), and it adds up to Tyler, The Creator’s best work to date. He may not be threatening Western civilization anymore, but he is creating something far more interesting.
