    Not All Heroes Wear Capes is in the overall a decent album, with lots of good beats and good mixing. However, the album provides a load of tracks which kind of disenchant the expectations on the mood of the album. The two beginning tracks left me satisfied a lot, but is followed by songs which sound quite weak if compared to hits like the previously mentioned 10AM/Save the World andNot All Heroes Wear Capes is in the overall a decent album, with lots of good beats and good mixing. However, the album provides a load of tracks which kind of disenchant the expectations on the mood of the album. The two beginning tracks left me satisfied a lot, but is followed by songs which sound quite weak if compared to hits like the previously mentioned 10AM/Save the World and Overdue, or bangers like No Complaints. I appreciated the soft mood of Lesbian, or the sad one in No More, but didn’t feel the same about those reggaeton tracks in the second part of the album. A good one in the overall, but could have been definitely better… Expand

    Not All Heroes Wear Capes is a pretty cohesive listen for a producer-guided album, but it's not fire from front to back.

    FAV TRACKS: DON'T COME OUT THE HOUSE, 10 FREAKY GIRLS, UP TO SOMETHING, ONLY 1, NO COMPLAINTS

    LEAST FAV TRACK: BORROWED LOVE

    For a producer who’s produced songs for a who’s who of modern artists (including the occasional non-rapper like Lana Del Rey), he mostly sticks to his guns on his debut album, which applies to both the sonics (there was no way any producer sampling Annie’s “Anthonio”--the Berlin Breakdown version--was going to be bad; that’s the ear-worming sample doing all the heavy-lifting on “Overdue”) and the features.

    Overall, Not All Heroes advances Metro Boomin's technique, utilizing an Avengers-of-trap team to amplify the drama in his atmospherics and focus the hypnotic appeal of his sharp beat pops.

    The beats Metro cooked up for this one were top notch throughout, adding some refreshing sounds to the current trap landscape. With retirement in the rearview mirror and a 21 Savage album on the horizon, Not All Heroes Wear Capes solidifies the return of one of this era’s most trusted producers.
