Jun 18, 2013Mac millers new album absolutely shines like a diamond his change from Blue slide park,Best day ever was the smartest thing he ever did this album is absolutely amazing you will never skip a song!

Jun 19, 2013this is a really good album, people hate because it is not the same as K.I.D.S or his older stuff. He has evolved as a musician and a person so it's obviously more mature work. I think he really showed his production and rapping skills on this album. Watching Movies with the Sound Off is not a sophomore slump, yet the beginning of something greater for mac miller

Jan 29, 2019Watching the Movies with the Sound Off is Mac Miller's best work, in my opinion. No words need to explain on how great this album is.

Jul 29, 2013Watching Movies With the Sound Off is a nearly flawless depiction of the intricate mind that is Mac Miller. The days of "frat rap" are over, as Cheesy Mac evolves into a mature artist. WMWTSO has a subdued, laid-back sound, and Miller executes this style with ease. Compassionate and honest rhymes literally pull you into the album, and Mac's story unfolds... One amazing song at a time.

Nov 12, 2013Compared to his debut album, this is so much better. As a musician and a rapper, Mac Miller has evolved from a silly weed rapper to someone that can be respected as a rapper to an extent. This, K.I.D.S, and Macadelic are my favorite works from him.

Jun 22, 2013this was a very interesting album because Mac Miller went away from his party roots and did a unique hip hop album His beats sound excellent, his lyrics were good and this was a smart choice to do for mac Miller because he could have done another Blue Slide Park ,(which I enjoy also) but he went left and gave us a solid project
-
Jun 18, 2013Mac has really grown as a artist and you can see that very clearly in his sophomore effort. His alter ego, Larry Fisherman, production is what makes this such a solid album and great for multiple listens.

Jun 19, 2013I picked this album up out of pure curiosity, i had never heard anything from him before. But I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. He can rap.his beats were good. And the subject matter was good. I wasnt expecting much but got an album i liked a lot better than the yeezus album i had been anticipating.

Jul 27, 2016This will always be my favorite album of the decade. Mac expresses his stoner rap songs and ability to spit bars more complex than ever, A few sad songs not sad as in bad but as in the theme. However I love this album and feels as if its his best project

Aug 7, 2013Well it's an enjoyable album. You don't usually get a white rapper as good as Eminem, but here's a more fun Eminem. Definitely a must buy. Key songs include Bird Call and Gees.

Jul 28, 2019The album that truly starts the beginning of Mac's artistic evolution. It's not quite as well polished, but there's still a lot of food for thought to digest here. It's a very artistic project in nature. I don't think it holds massive replay value, but it's a very captivating, eery listen.

Jun 18, 2013I dont get the praise. I hated his first album and I find myself bored at the end of WMWTSO listening session. There are few standout tracks (especially Objects in Mirror) but besides that, album is filled with corny punchlines, nonsense metaphors and rhymes about getting high and fu***g bit***s. And we dont need any other young rapper with "shock value".

Mar 10, 2015It's meh, its not near as good as the past albums. I was really excited for this album but I expected it to be much doper. There were one or two good songs that was it. I'm a fan of his energetic songs, this whole album is very mellow. Not like the old Mac that's for sure.

Mar 10, 2015I am really disappointed in Mac. I was really excited for this album but I expected it to be much doper. There were some good songs, but now as much as I would of liked. I used to love Mac Miller for his upbeat songs, rapping about nikes, yogurt, and waffles. His new stuff I guess just isn't my style.
-
Mar 10, 2015This album is quite different from his old albums. The album places more focus on money and doesn't really have any upbeat catchy beats which is what we loved from Mac in the past.
-
Jun 21, 2013This album sounds like noise. There are about 3 good songs on the entire album. Mac Millers lyrics might have gotten better but his production suffered a lot. He needs to go back to his roots and stop going mainstream.

Jun 23, 2013Any idiot can rap about getting their sucked. Mac Miller stumbles around the entire album without saying anything even remotely interesting or intriguing.

Q MagazineAug 20, 2013[He's tempered] his earlier frat-boy laddishness with some gentler introspection and a keen ear for beats. [Sep 2013, p.107]

Jul 8, 2013While the exceptional company he keeps (see appearance by Earl Sweatshirt and the elusive Jay Electronica) sometimes highlights his shortcomings as an emcee, Miller’s guests also push him to be better.
-
Jul 8, 2013Watching Movies is Miller’s most enduring, and endearing, project yet.
