#012 pink tape - lil uzi vert| album review | show notes
Introduction (00:00:01): Alright, so it has been a while since Lil Uzi Vert dropped an album. This new one, Pink Tape, got a lot of hype. I didn't follow the hype until recently, so I didn't know if it was a surprise album. It came as a surprise to me. Suddenly, I started seeing *Pink Tape* everywhere. Uzi even posted that he might drop another album if this one hits number one on Billboard.
Release Date (00:00:22): The album came out on the 30th of June.
Album Length (00:00:52): It's a really long album with 1 hour and 27 minutes of music, including three bonus tracks. I was scared to press play because I didn't want to stop halfway if it was mid. But I pressed play, and it was so good.
Song Reviews
Flooded the Face (00:01:35): The album opens with "Flooded the Face." It's typical Uzi, with a lot of energy. He addresses some rumors and doubts about himself. A nice way to open the album.
Suicide Doors (00:02:22): This song caught me off guard with Charleston White's funny and intense intro. It got really intense and set the tone for the rest of the album.
A (00:04:01): This song gave me Playboi Carti vibes, leading me to wonder if Uzi was copying Carti or vice versa. The rock theme and guitars are great, making it feel experimental yet familiar.
Crush Em (00:08:11): Another high-energy track. Uzi is just on another level with this album.
Armageddon (00:08:54): Not as good as "Crush Em," but still solid. It gives off *Whole Lotta Red* vibes, which makes me wonder about Carti's influence.
X2 (00:09:50): A usual Uzi song. If the whole album was like this, it wouldn't have been as impressive. It's a good song but feels like something we've heard before.
Died and Came Back (00:10:51): This track has *Eternal Atake* vibes and sounds very familiar. It's another strong song on the album.
Spin Again (00:11:52): Not particularly noteworthy, but it's a decent track that fits well within the album.
That Fire (00:13:01): Makes me think of Takeoff. It's a solid track but nothing groundbreaking.
I Gotta (00:13:34): A song that fits the American theme well. It sounds like a national anthem of sorts, fitting the album's theme.
Endless Fashion (feat. Nicki Minaj) (00:14:40): Uzi and Nicki Minaj have good chemistry. Uzi's confident and intentional sound is evident here.
Mama, I'm Sorry (00:16:19): Repetitive but alright. It adds to the album's diverse sound.
All Alone (00:16:26): Another good Uzi track. His use of samples is always on point.
Just Wanna Rock (00:17:11): A viral hit with an infectious beat. It's a standout track on the album.
CS (00:18:21): This song has an energy that reminds me of XXXTentacion. It has a screaming flow that makes it a standout.
Werewolf (feat. Bring Me The Horizon) (00:18:48): One of my favorite tracks. It has an anime-like vibe, reminiscent of Attack on Titan.
Pluto to Mars (00:21:30): Another high-energy track that keeps the momentum going.
Patience (feat. Don Toliver) (00:22:16): A solid track featuring Don Toliver. There's hardly any skips on this album.
Come and Go (00:23:09): Towards the end of the album, there are no standout songs for me, but everything maintains a high level of quality.
Rehab (00:24:08): Sounds like an anime ending theme. It's light and fits the album well.
Bonus Tracks (00:24:51):
- Zoom: A solid track but feels more like a bonus.
