12/24/2023 0 Comments Tyler goblin albumI guess the majority of Goblin is ‘shuffle material’, not necessarily a bad thing but this might be the reason why so many people are troubled by it – the narrative being the only line that runs through the record with the exception of two or three transitions.” 3. After a few listens I don’t really understand the entirety of Goblin sequence-wise, as opposed to his debut that made sense to me as a conceptual album. It made me feel kind of relieved it’s on here though, same goes for Sandwitches and that’s because I knew it was going to be on the album. Immy: “This track has been over analyzed to bits already and the main reason (or felon, as bitter Odd Future purists would say) for the hype that escalated over the last few months, so we can leave it at this. YonkersĪidan: “What can we say that hasn’t already been said? Context doesn’t add to or take away from this track – even if you’ve heard it a hundred times (or probably more) already it still makes for damn compelling listening – don’t we all want to dance around the house in all-over print panties?” It made me pretty happy that he addressed that.” 2. That said, I love this line “ Pressure’s on me like this top hat/ Bastard intro, how the fuck am I gonna top that?” That was actually a thought I had before going into this album. He should have just said what he needed to say here, and moved for the rest of the record. The fact that he continues to do this throughout the rest of the album though, is a big disappointment and hurts the record more than it helps. The production on this one is tight though.”ĭonny: “I think it’s actually pretty great that Tyler decided to set everything straight with the first track. The inclusion of this track was probably needed so Tyler could get all this off his chest without making it a running theme. Immy: “Although Goblin is a more than just a “decent” artifact, on a first listen it was a bit of a downer for me that Tyler aimed a good amount of his messages towards critics, making the album harder to relate with for the non-famous and subsequently losing part a good amount of his charm. His conscience is a clear thematic device, one which allows him both to acknowledge the criticisms levelled at him for his homophobic language (among other things) and to ignore these criticisms anyway. GoblinĪidan: “With this powerful intro track Tyler establishes the state of play – reminding anyone who didn’t know already that he raps about rape but that doesn’t stop everyone from giving him mad love, Kanye included, and that that love isn’t by any means reciprocated – while at the same battering us over the head with his world view, which, as we’ll find out later, is basically Fuck Everything. A trinity of Truants (Donny, Aidan and Immy) assembled to do a track by track review of the record. The album definitely evoked a lot of different opinions and might be the most discussed release at the moment – within Truancy circles this isn’t any different. Tyler, the Creator doesn’t really need an introduction now does he? It’s widely known he doesn’t care about music critics but we’re analyzing his highly anticipated second album “Goblin” anyway, whether he gives a fuck or not.
