4/5
Playboi Carti has finally released his long-awaited third studio album, Music. The album contains a whopping 30 songs and lasts for a total of one hour and 16 minutes.
Unlike his last album, Whole Lotta Red, which was groundbreaking and changed the way trap music is made, this album is less experimental. Still, it brings that punk/trap sound that makes Carti special, with catchy beats that will make you nod your head throughout the whole project.
The Weeknd, Travis Scott, and Kendrick Lamar excel in their features. However, Future’s voice, being so low, gets lost in the sound quite a bit, making his contribution to this album null.
Overall, if you pick and single out every song in the album, you could argue 26/30 songs are good with about five to 10 being great. However, unless you are Led Zeppelin, it’s hard to get through any album that lasts over an hour, and 30 songs is just too long for its own good.
