Toro y Moi - Hole Erth ALBUM REVIEW

[@Hi-fd4cw]

Was not happy with this album, but the good thing about Toro y Moi is that even if you don’t like one thing he puts out, it’s entirely possible his next one will be your favorite

[@aygwm]

Oh man I saw him last night in Hollywood and it was basically one of the worst concerts of my life. He played almost the whole new album…

[@perfidioussinn]

It's crazy how many people I talk to that say Toro y Moi basically shaped their entire musical taste. Heard him for the first time in college, been a fan ever since.

[@DTheAustralian]

Hey look, it's that guy that gave Anything In Return a 4! Let's get him!

[@paulwolter3186]

I just saw his unpopular reviews video yesterday and wasn't expecting that review to be in the video

[@ForrestMcCloud]

He did WHAT!?!?!?

[@nightcr_wler]

Awful score for such a timeless and influential album

[@willywonka47]

I thought I’d be the only one that remembered that 😂

[@Obi-Wan.Ginobili]

Smh

[@Shinyshoesz]

I will say -- I AM the audience. I think there is definitely space for this type of music with more emotive/substantial themes. I don't know if Chaz achieved that on this record per se, but I am not mad at it all. Really enjoyed quite a few tracks, if not all the whole album.

[@koalatea8126]

same - I am the audience. lifelong Chaz fan and I honestly love the new album, including the cheesy lines like burning thru this bread like a brand new toaster 😂 it’s ok to be tongue in cheek. the creativity is what’s never disappointing. Chaz is a legend and he is prolific

[@bravewryy6781]

I enjoyed this album a lot tbf still have it in my rotation

[@IMUSTBEACAT]

Me too. The collabs on here were made just for me especially the Ben and Don collabs 😭

[@Xsksnssjccxghb]

Same and I listen to pretty much everything especially electronic and hip hop 😂 been listening to chaz since university. Have a guilty pleasure for trap music

[@Robert__Isaac]

My favorite thing about this album is how he can understand and points out the similarities between all the featured artists. Don Toliver, Kenny Mason, Kevin Abstract, Porches, Glaive, Ben Gibbard all have a subtle through-line, and as a fan of all those artists I'm glad someone else sees it.

[@IMUSTBEACAT]

This!! It felt like this album was made just for me

[@jimmyfennessy54]

Hole Erth felt like the more refined and less edgy version of his album Soul Trash (2019). Hole Erth is good, but Soul Trash feels much more exciting and interesting from front to back. Highly recommend if you like this side of Chaz.

[@diegopzz6188]

More experimental too, Hole erth is decent but it sounds so basic to me

[@noahdecker1240]

I love this album despite its flaws. I"M IN THE HOV LANE, WITH THE WHOLE GANG

[@brodykrafka]

I can always find a handful of tracks on even my least favorite TYM albums. I don’t love this one but I still walked away with a good 5 tracks that I wouldn’t skip on shuffle.

[@_megacomputer]

I listened to it and thought: meh. But then I went to shuffle my liked songs and noticed I’d added 6 tracks, so I must not have thought it was THAT meh, haha!

[@ladadadaladadadadadadala-d117]

Undercurrent is one of my favorite songs of the year so far

[@emmanuelguerrero3751]

A slapper for sure. Love Porches verse

[@tinhippi]

i do admire toro y moi always shaking things up even if it doesn’t always lead to amazing results. his last three projects have sounded so different!

[@joshkeating7825]

Honestly, Toro changes so much from project to project that I don’t really care about the quality; I really appreciate his love of music and exploring sounds/genres. I didn’t really dig this album, but outer peace was friggin legendary.

[@DurableCatnip]

Day one Chaz fan, I've been listening to his stuff since Causers. His albums are so hit or miss for me, but always interesting and worth many listens. This Hole Erth came out of left field for me, but I'm so into it. It's at times weird and cheesy, but it's exactly what I want right now.

[@koalatea8126]

agree 100%

[@99coconuts]

It definitely does come off weird and cheesy at times. I was trying to put my finger on it. Thats a great way to word it.

[@michaelkenny4351]

One of the percussionists regularly associated with Toro Y Moi released a really solid album this summer - Brijean - “Macro”. Really well produced psychedelic disco album

[@Dawgisht]

Thank you!

[@99coconuts]

Thank you!

[@slackstarfish8133]

I just want Toro Y Moi to return to that 80s synthwave vibe he had on boo boo😫😫

[@nightcr_wler]

Give it 5 years

[@khairt1731]

Facts! Or the sound he had on his first album

[@halteres643]

Me too

[@jackwiegmann]

Samantha, boo boo, outer peace, and soul trash are my favorite albums of his by far, but that's because those were the albums that came out when I started listening to him. I think that time of discovery does a lot to effect people's opinions favorite albums of his.

[@thechief00]

@@jackwiegmann yeah that's true I think I'm the only person who really loves What For? because of when I found Chaz's music in 2015 lol. I used to spend hours biking the park trails in my city listening to that album, Causers of This, and Madvillainy on repeat.

[@frankrogers2968]

I wasn’t that surprised Chaz went in this direction. He’s done emo/pop-punk sounding songs before, and he was a producer on one of Travis Scott’s albums.

[@IMUSTBEACAT]

Oh yeah and Don Toliver too! I forgot!

[@paisleyplastic]

maybe i'm messed up in the head but toro y moi is the only artist that i like every single song on every album

[@random_meteor]

I'm messed up with you, been listening since 2009 and honestly I just love whatever Chaz does. he is a force for sure. he's been very authentic to himself and his experiences it seems.

[@TongueOfCrow]

Did no one else catch the interpolation of the “Anthem for a 17 Year Old Girl” chorus by Broken Social Scene on “Heaven”? I found that super interesting. “park that car drop that phone sleep on the floor dream about me”

[@j.stretcher]

i didn't catch that but Chaz is a big fan of broken social scene so that makes sense

[@rsherid]

yeah

[@lloganm1234]

I really liked this one. Something about it is very addictive

[@gabrieltenorio]

I reallly agree specially with the fact that this album does leave you wondering who in Toro y Moi's audience wanted it, at the same time his audience me included love how often he experiments with other genres. Lovely review team

[@centific]

Long time fan of Toro y Moi here and I absolutely love this album! And funny enough Off Road is my favourite track on this album, while Baby Daddy, Madonna and Hollywood are my other top picks. But then again I absolutely loved Soul Trash, so...

[@benjadamon]

Heaven with Kevin Abstract has to be one of my most played songs this year, loooove that track.

[@NopeNamely]

baby daddy is a very unique song. Clears a lot of the music that’s being played on the radio

[@ricardofarinha8922]

was lucky to see him yesterday @ the Hollywood Forever Cemetery - They performed a couple tracks from the new LP and the crowd responded well to it. The album has been on repeat for me personally, but agreed i was v surprised to hear him sing about being in a strip club 🤷‍♂ we dig the growth

[@xXlegitx46Xx]

i love this album, its refreshing to see anyone trying something different in music, super excited to see him not switch up cause of the times

[@EM-ln9wf]

[@connor_gee]

This album is perfect for working late. Every Chaz album is amazing in it's own way

[@OMSPZ]

This album was a miss for me. Just felt contrived. I am not a hardcore fan by any means but it must be stated for the record Anything in Return is a CLASSIC.

[@chislicer5167]

To follow up Mahal with this is wild. I dig the shit out of it. CD-R is my fave track.

[@jackwiegmann]

I really liked what I've been calling the "Soul Trash" songs off this album (WITR, Madonna, Babydaddy). The others not so much (Reseda). Then again, I think the original Soul Trash tape might be one of my favorite releases of his. it goes so hard

[@ChillKeilen]

Hearing this great Album let me know that Chaz is back. The one that pulled me into his sound when i first heard him almost a decade ago. No more experimental sounds or instrumentals but those amazing vocals and melodies i gravitated to at first

[@J.5.M.]

Big Sean review coming?

[@ianjudge5572]

Lol probably not

[@SteamyNachos77]

If he was Toro y melon you would’ve given it a 10

[@KawaiiSteez]

I really enjoyed this album, I felt like it was a mature version of emo trap if that makes sense. Like the stuff he is complaining about I relate to now as someone in my late 20s. II feel like I am the exact audience for this a zillenial who grew up smack dab in the middle of the 2000s inspiration he takes from but also right after the emo trap genre popped off id that makes sense. I liked every song except off road

[@plomors]

listen to my anti aircraft friend by julie please

[@nitnelav6730]

Thats not how you write "The Alexander Technique"

[@Nico-dv7bq]

Please review the Joba album, melon man

[@zoro90s]

I remember when guys would say 'Do it for the gram!' and now I have a feeling many artists are doing this tongue in cheek 'Do it for the rithm' kinda sound that is basically just having fun and accepting what the industry somehow became - homogenized sounds that make hits for the spotify playlist that all sound like each other because you have to feed your family. The most unserious serious time period for music ive ever witnessed, I think we will laugh about this current era if it ever ends and the underground takes back some power.

[@nothingistrutv3927]

I think to get this album you gotta go back to Chaz working with Travis since Owl Pharaoh. Not sure if Fantano is aware of that. Probably though.

[@GizzyDillespee]

I tried Baby Daddy and Cdr... I only like that style of vocals if they're more floaty than crispy, and these are 2 crispy. And it reminds me of guitar bends that miss the mark... and then you find out the bends were done w autotune, and it's like, how did you miss the right pitch with autotune? Couldn't you keep nudging til it hit, right? But then I thot, wut if it's a social commentary on Israel blockading juice from Palestine? Maybe we're hearing juice under a couple blankets in a smuggler's tunnel, and then it all made sense. So, I'm going to listen to that Fr John Misty screamo song next, for I have sinned. At least, I'm assuming it's screamo, with that track title. It wud be weird if it was, tho. IDK

[@MulansHouse]

I feel like I’m a middle ground fan of toro where I bop a good amount of mainstream music but have also followed him for awhile so maybe this record worked better for me? I don’t listen to a lot of emo rap tbh so this was newer for me and I enjoyed a good amount of it. I like toro lyrically a lot more than juicewrld or Travis Scott, I feel like he connects more with the human experience than the male experience lol. Tbh I was bumbin off-road but maybe that means I need to listen to more emo rap.

[@szymondudzinski6661]

I'm far far from this type of music, I prefer other Toro albums such as Underneath The Pine and What For, but I think that Toro Y Moi is the closest thing we have to a David Bowie in this day and age, provided he will keep doing this for decades to come (by "this" I mean literally whatever he wants lol)
