I love how passionate Tyler is about his art. It makes the music sound so much better

Tyler one of the few artists that will talk at length about why he loves music, his favorite parts of his own music, music theory, etc. and I LOVE THAT. He is truly a musical connoisseur and a fan of himself but in the most innocent and pure way, not egotistical way.

Also let's get into the fact that Tomorrow is Stevie Wonder coded DOOOWN

He love him some Stevie, as he should. I hope he gets to work with him one day, before Stevie leaves us. 

 

and yes, I love the vocal melody and harmonies on that song. It kind of reminded me of Boyz ll Men but they of course are also sourced from Stevie. Also, the guitar melody reminds me of Radiohead's 'Faust Arp'.

This is absolutely at the very least in the top 5 albums released this year, not a single dud and the replay value is insane

Glorilla's verse woke the girls up 

Sticky needs a video for sure. A banger. Glorilla on an insane run.

 

Did anyone get tour tickets yet? Some of them MSG prices was crazy until I just decided to use my fiances credit card to get the better seats. 

 

So imma go ahead and say Sticky is the Int'l Players Anthem for queer ppl iktr  

 

Also this is an "of all time" album. Tyler did that  

P4K can also go to hell for that rating

Hey Jane is heartbreaking

Everytime they review some of my fave albums, the score is ALWAYS between 7 or 8, nothing less, nothing more, lol. I guess, that's better than getting outright panned, but still I try to avoid their reviews

 

 

Spoiler

Ok this is becoming my favorite album of his. It's by far his most accessible one. It hit on 1st listen which is rare (for me). The melodies and production are top notch  we need to protect him at all costs

The way ATRLers in other threads are still trying to paint him as some evil sexist who "wants to rape pregnant women", when this album has lyrics like these

 

 

How hard is it to understand that:

 

A) He didn't mean those lyrics/tweets seriously (even tho I agree they were in poor taste)

B) PEOPLE CAN CHANGE!!! It's been a damn decade, let it go

Betta find a mop it's getting sticky in dis *****

idc what they say lol, I listen to what I want.

 

I just find the "black male privilege" part funny. Did any racist white women get widespread country bans or radio bans for saying the n word, cause I don't recall. 

 

Anyway, his favorite songs on the album are Judge Judy and Tomorrow

Judge Judy is in my top 3 (along with TIWD and Like Him) and Tomorrow is great as well (the second half of the album is flawless in general), taste jumped out

 

 

There's crack in this album... wow.

pitchfork give more or less everything i like <6.5 and i have stopped bothering myself with them a long time ago, this is as good as it gets lol

 

(OT: have struggled with tyler before but this album is an instant hit, love it all)

I've never been a huge fan but I decided to listen to this album on a whim today and I'm kinda obsessed  3 listens in back to back already.

 

After a few listens St Chroma, Rah Tah Tah, Darling I, I Killed You, Sticky, and Balloon are all hitting hard

I find myself listening to this album once or twice a week now, it's a grower I love this one! 

 

It's been almost a month, yet this album stays on repeat for me  Like, it's such a cohesive body of work, and even the tracks that I didn't initially love per se, just kept growing on me (I Killed You ). Honestly, now I think that CHROMAKOPIA is 9.5/10. Easily in the top 3 best projects released in 2024 for me, if not #1.

 

The success it's been getting is also so damn deserved and satisfying. Him earning his first 3 top 10 hits, despite the unusual date release, 3 weeks at #1 on BB200, etc... seeing this masterpiece getting its flowers just makes me so happy
