![]() This album, evident to practically every Tyler fan whether it'd be casual or hardcore, was an outlier compared to the gritty and edgy works that Tyler, The Creator has put out before Cherry Bomb. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is something for every fan on this record, and it's god level if you loved all three of his previous albums like I did. Like Bastard? Here's "Deathcamp", "Keep Da O's", and "Pilot". Like Goblin? Here's "Buffalo", "Run", "The Brown Stains", and "Smuckers". Do you like Wolf? Here's "Find Your Wings", "Blow My Load", "2 Seater", and **** Perfect". It literally has everything any OF fan could want for any album of his. Cherry Bomb sounds to me as Tyler states, "Named the album Cherry Bomb because greatest hits sounded boring". Wolf, in my eyes, is a masterpiece because of his old style to new beats. The synth and emotional singing from Wolf, the flow and deep-cutting 808's from Goblin, and the raw and unadulterated flow from Bastard. It is as if he fuses together themes and his musical production from his previous albums. However, this album seems to be his largest progression. ![]() It is as if he fuses together themes To no surprise, Tyler changes his style again. LEAST FAV TRACK: CHERRY BOMB Score: (5.To no surprise, Tyler changes his style again. Perhaps not.įAV TRACKS: DEATHCAMP, FIND YOUR WINGS, THE BROWN STAINS OF DARKEESE LATIFAH PART 6-12 (REMIX), F***ING YOUNG/PERFECT, SMUCKERS, OKAGA, CA It goes like this: “A childish adult is a child that survived” perhaps Tyler is a survivor. I heard a quote once, and I apologize for not citing him/her correctly. The main problem is that the one thing that seems to be holding Tyler back from maturing and trying new styles, is himself. The moments where Tyler experiments with better lyrical themes, and Neo soul instrumentation hint at a more straightforward and mature direction, but Tyler resorts back to his usual rhymes and rhythms.įour albums in for an artist like this, Cherry Bomb isn’t that unusual. But as artists on the OFWGKTA start to grow up (Earl), it’s as if Tyler is being left behind, reliving the glory days. It’s true that this immaturity and fun-natured attitude is what makes Tyler, hell all of Odd Future, fun and appealing. Yet like all artists, one must grow up and become mature. “SMUCKERS” is another strong track in album featuring Lil Wayne and Kanye West, the trio bring forth one of the most self realized moments as Tyler’s lyricism, production, and instrumentation reach a creative and admirable peak. While “THE BROWN STAINS OF DARKEESE LATIFAH PART 6-12 (REMIX)” features some cool “watery” samples along the beginning and finds Tyler’s lyricism sharp and witty. ![]() The vociferous, nauseating, and unnecessarily loud “CHERRY BOMB” is one of the loudest and most distorted sonic experiences you will ever encounter in this year’s hip hop music. Whatever the level of balance displayed, Tyler nonetheless brings his personality in, ushering in his vulgar and raunchy lyricism, to complete the package.Īlas, there are moments where the production operates on opposite sides of the spectrum. There are times when this formula works, such as the tastefully raucous “DEATHCAMP” and the smooth and soulful “F***ING YOUNG/PERFECT” which finds Tyler battling his lyrical themes by vacillating between being serious and nonsensical. The one difference most listeners will take away from this project is Tyler’s style, which introduces a Neo-soul/rap rock change of pace. The Odd Future kingpin returns with his fourth studio LP, Cherry Bomb, and the result finds the rapper advancing in terms of musicianship and instrumentation, yet at times he falters in terms of songwriting and production. Tyler, The Creator’s immaturity can be considered as one of his strengths, and at times one of his weaknesses. ![]() Genre: Alternative Hip Hop, Hardcore Hip Hop, Neo-Soul ![]()
