IGOR aside, I just wanna say this is one of your best reviews to date; Rod's skills at mediating the conversation, plus his camera work really brings out the diversity of thought that makes Dead End what it is. Yall each say your piece, move the conversation forward, and infuse enough of your personality and humour in to come off down to earth/relatable and amiable to disagreement. I wish you could review every project that drops, just to get the chance to see yall do what you do so well as often as possible. But Feefo and Rod were right, IGOR is a perfect vibe.

[@MichaelJimenez416]

The vocals hit me differently than they did Myke, I think. Given how emotionless or silly or out-of-touch-with-his-emotions tyler usually is, to even hear him getting in his feelings resonates hard, regardless of how eccentric his singing is. Kind of like that girl who always cries telling you about a breakup, vs the funny kid who's always making jokes muttering something about how he feels deep down. Sorry for the sexist example, but which one resonates more? I'd say the funny friend, even if it is a bit awkward and half serious and monotone. I COMPLETELY get where he is coming from though, and I think it really comes down to personal preference. If it doesn't sound good to you it doesn't sound good. Loved the review. Worth the wait.

[@richierich30001]

I still murky though. Because although the story of IGOR tackle those gay themes, for me I got into the story of this IGOR character, for me the songs don’t tell the story of Tyler per say but of Igor. It’s what i got out of it, and I enjoyed it even more from that POV

@@JVOTI who tf buys digital albums? Music costs nothing these days. And the commercial argument doesnt apply to art, theres no reason or benefit to obsessively comparing everything

[@tsg_frank]

Look, I feel like Tyler has creatively improved more and more with each project he has released. Flower Boy was a peak, it was the best comeback Tyler ever had, it was Tyler honing in and mastering his craft. IGOR is new, it's a different approach to what Tyler always wanted to do, I wasn't big on immediately either, it grew me after a while and now I fucking love it. It's definitely raw and unrefined almost giving off an amateur vibe with the vocals especially, which is what he intended, it conveys the fragile and broken nature of the character he's portraying, and it flows amazingly well. If anything in two years time Tyler will come with something better than IGOR again, at this point I genuinely only expect great things from him, no matter what.

[@topbackpodcast2615]

I know exactly what Myke is talking about. Tyler's creativity was on 100 with this album, but the way he delivered his vocals was tamed for most of the album. Best example I can think of is New Magic Wand...when you listen to how visceral his voice was when he performed it at the Grammies, it brought new life and energy into the track..but on the album, the vocals are lackluster in comparison.

I did want Tyler to rap more on this one, but I wasn’t dissatisfied with what I got. He did a lot of interesting things on IGOR that i loved. He did say in interviews before its release that he wasn’t going to make a quote on quote “rap album”. So this goes really well with what Feefo said. This could be considered Tyler’s 808’s in a way, if that makes sense.

[@matthewbennink8088]

At least for me the vocals matched the vibe of the story because Tyler has always been insecure about his low voice, as he’s said in interviews in the past. As far as the story of the album, it’s all about his insecurities after falling for someone who doesn’t love him back. Tyler pitching up the vocals, at least for me, matched the theme of the album quite well, drawing away from his low voice and showing that this love of his is bringing his insecurities out.

I think this was Tyler's best album. The production was wild, the features were amazing, and Tyler's lyrics were great. At first I was disappointed in the album, but the song that made me get off the fence was GONE GONE/THANK YOU. I think that song was incredible and something in that song clicked something in me to appreciate the album. It was my bad because partially I was expecting a Flower Boy 2.0 or a straight up rap album, but when I let go of that convention and looked at it as its own unique sort of album it made sense to me. I've listened to the album cover to cover every day since it came out and I've been loving it more and more.

[@michaelpurnell5203]

This is my 2nd favorite album of the year so far. My first listen I was hesitant about it bc it’s so different from his other material, but my 2nd listen I went in fully knowing what to expect. I must say, he did extremely well at crafting songs that are outside of his rapping comfort zone and created an amazing neo-soul album. Tyler doesn’t need to rap for this album to be great, this Tyler at his best in songwriting. Every instrumental is meticulously crafted, the lyrical theme is pulled off very well, and the album flows fantastically. No filler here, the album is a complete experience. This is a 9/10 (maybe 9.5) for me.

[@SpaceyNYC]

I agree with Myke and B.. in my opinion this album would be good if Tyler wasn’t on it and a more vocally strong artist (like a Gambino) was on it. I listened to this multiple times and I can’t remember Tyler’s parts at all, only the features stick out to me the most. However, the production is amazing and Tyler is an excellent songwriter. I also think this album suffers from the same thing Syre by Jaden did where it’s a bit too influenced by other artists, it’s not as unique as everyone is saying it is. It’s only relatively unique because of the climate of music today.

[@HotStrange]

I still prefer Flowerboy by a very small amount, but Igor is still one of the best albums of the year so far for me. Never been a huge fan of Tyler, outside of Odd Future, until Flowerboy and now he’s a favorite of mine.

[@PoetryJesusY2K]

I definitely don’t think this reaches Flower Boy but I love the growth and how adventurous Tyler is with his production. I do wish Tyler would get a pop star or two to consistently collab with so we can hear his sound with more refined and polished vocals not that I don’t love his voice but man imagine a Kali Uchis x Tyler the Creator collab album it’d be unreal

[@cbfire9987]

To Myke’s point about Tyler not singing in a very pronounced way: I’m not sure if this was a purposeful move by Tyler, but I think the pitched, off key, and weak vocals make him sound INFINITELY more vulnerable and insecure on this album. And that really fucking hit me hard. I personally loved how it sounded and it legitimately made him sound like he just got dumped and got done bawling his eyes out. I really got that.

[@Amangiechsin]

I agree with Myke on the fact of that Tyler didn't push himself with this album to new boundaries but I think what so many people, including myself, find so endearing about the album is that it feels like a Tyler album. Flower Boy was an amazing album, no doubt about that, but you could tell that he made it to appeal to a wider audience; even in that video where he's discussing FB he mentions that he was studying Max Martin and how he would make things appeal to the mainstream. This album feels like what all those melodic aspects of the early Tyler albums culminated into something great. As for his voice, I think Tyler sings in that sorta weak voice because it still is something that he has trouble with expressing. Alongside people like Charlie Wilson and Solange, I can totally understand his unwillingness to sing with passion out of a lack of confidence.

its like people now,gotta trick themselves into liking some of this music..

[@jayrusso1589]

Brilliant album 9/10 and this is neck and neck with Flower Boy as his best album but I give Flower Boy the edge also 9/10

[@TheReese989]

Quality over Quantity. Appreciate yall 💯

[@Chrisratata]

Yeah they really been takin their time these days but i fucks wit it

[@montel_6965]

Really appreciate when you bring the young guys in for the reviews, their input really gives a fresh perspective

[@goingupandupandup]

His best project without a doubt. Every song just seamlessly transitions into the other the story fully realizes its message and theme

[@DeezyDru]

I must be a liar, Feefo, because I truly did love this right off the bat. The opening vibe of "Igor's Theme" really put me on-track to really rock with it. Plus, I was one of those people who didn't hate the mixing issues on Cherry Bomb so I think that really helped as well. It wasn't as out of whack as CB & it came off a lot like the mixing in an Ariel Pink or a Mac DeMarco record to me where it's not too difficult to hear the vocals but they don't overtake the production. Tbr, his vocals really just came off as another layer in the production to me. Really digging this project. It's been a couple of weeks so far & I genuinely think after the dust settles, this might be my favorite Tyler record.

Igor is amazing I really enjoy it. You can play this at the family reunion. But I do think that this project was mainly about the production. Also I feel like this was more of a compilation album were he did the production and his features provided the vocals on most of the songs.

[@Pasicho]

I think it would interesting for Tyler to make an album with very limited vocals on his end. He already said he was interested in making scores for movies and stuff like that. He could other people that have better convey his message. After 5 albums it's pretty obvious that his voice is pretty limited even with effects.

[@jefferyromero8980]

I’m confused about their issues with the vocals, it’s no worse than Earls project last year some rap songs. I agree with feefo that this could be his best work. The narrative is too much of an emotional mess for what he is saying to be completely polished or nice. The production is what comes first in this album because it is what mainly sets the mood, not his vocals. In a troubled relationship you don’t always listen to one another that’s another possible explanation for this effect. The thoughts of the character are a complete mess they are well thought out or polished just like the vocals on the album.It was absolutely intentional the divide just comes from whether people enjoy it or not.

[@tourdeforce2163]

Nice review. I respect Myke’s views, of course, but Tyler defo pushed himself creatively in terms of the instrumental layering and transitions in a ton of the songs.

[@jcp2017]

Harder, better, faster, CLOSER

[@mynamesMihir]

lmao i was looking for someone to notice that

[@NotRealMusicRyan]

Glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed this hahaha

[@M360-w6o]

Right he meant Stronger 🤣

[@adxc2872]

For sure my album of the year so far! Didn’t think he would release one near Flower Boy, but it’s definitely up there. Curious to hear what you guys have to say Edit: Can’t say I’m surprised. The only thing I don’t get is why would you want him to try and pretend he can sing really well when he knows he can’t? Wouldn’t that just make him sound worse?

[@pskolart]

I think the major takeaway from this album is that Tyler is an ARTIST not a RAPPER. He's always been polarizing, it's no surprise opinions on this record are so 50/50. Both IGOR and SF/FB are top notch, great review conversation though!

[@GeorgetheGreat]

Mac Miller’s singing was beautiful, just wanted to say that. But dope review Guys, this project pretty good imo the lyrics are very poetic and production is layered. That’s what keeps me intrigued about it

[@zbitykieliszek9358]

Come on Myke, you just need to listen to it 10 more times and you'll like it!

[@HuskyGouki]

Tyler did say don’t expect a rap album lol.

[@valentemartinez8935]

He posted that pretty late. Like the exact moment that the album was released. He should of posted that way before the release to undercut any rapping expectations because I definitely was expecting that.

[@cai6972]

@@valentemartinez8935 he did. He said it wasnt gonna be Flower Boy after he dropped that Igor's Theme snippet.

[@tauthoodie7939]

I respect all the opinions, but Feefo is legit. This is Tyler’s best work and it’s just a little better than Flower Boy.

[@jennetics00]

6:22 feefo called it off rip.
