Tyler, the Creator for years has been known for his impressive sounds, style, and likable personality, releasing an album at least every few years and making himself known since 2011 with multiple millions of fans and listeners
1
St. Chroma
The first song on the album, was exciting. With the lyrics being whispered for half the song, you feel a sense of leading up into something then the beat switches for Tyler to show off his brand new style. 6/10
2
Rah Tah Tah
Being the second song on the album, and of course, knowing Tyler, the second song is primarily working with grime and funk, I enjoyed this one and am excited to see the rest. 7/10
3
Noid
Being the single released before the album, this specific track shows how much effort went into this album. With a psychedelic rock beat mixed with Tyler’s infamous nature and voice, this track really hits home with the older listeners. 8/10
4
Darling, I (Ft. Teezo Touchdown)
This track captures the culmination of Tyler’s career, reminding us of his previous albums. With the first feature artist of the record, I give this song an 8/10
5
Hey Jane
A quality track, the lyrics are on point, and the beat matches perfectly. This song captures a feeling of nostalgia unlike the rest, and I will be adding this to my playlist. 9/10
6
I Killed You
Interesting choice for the sound at the beginning, not like anything I’ve heard before. I can tell that Tyler has been experimenting more and making a difference in the Hip-hop world as well as the community. 6/10
7
Judge Judy
Decent, felt either as a long interlude or a night drive was impressed toward the ending. Not my favorite 4/10
8
Sticky (Ft. GloRilla, Lil Wayne & Sexyy Red)
Ok, boring. Not a song I’d listen to in my free time, yet somewhat impressed by the ending 3/10
9
Take Your Mask Off (Ft. Daniel Caesar & LaToiya Williams)
Enjoyed this one, well sounded not too repetitive, and was worth the listen. 6/10
10
Tomorrow
Another nostalgic-sounding track, yet this track wasn’t nostalgic to Tyler’s previous sound of albums. I enjoyed this one, and is also worth the listen. I’ll be adding this one to my playlist. 7/10
11
Thought I Was Dead (Ft. Santigold & ScHoolboy Q)
Good track, features were on point yet felt repetitive. 5/10
12
Like Him (Ft. Lola Young)
Wasn’t very impressed by this track. 4/10
13
Balloon (Ft. Doechii)
I was excited about this one and heard good things on social media. Now that I’ve heard it, I’ll say that it wasn’t what I expected. The feature was decent and respectable but honestly again not very impressed. 6/10
14
I Hope You Find Your Way Home
Good conclusion, made up for the last few. Great production. 7/10
With the record concluding, I must say this has been a surprise to me. I very much enjoyed this album and would recommend it to others. I must say I have mixed feelings about the album as a whole. I wouldn’t say it’s his best work but is very well made with experimental sounds. Production was good, with lyrics to match but felt like something was missing either way.
As a whole I give “CHROMAKOPIA” a 7/10
