Tyler the Creator is undoubtedly one of the most inventive, ferocious, clever and recognizably distinct emcees we have nowadays and his new LP, Cherry Bomb, is only further proof of this as he spends the entire duration showcasing again why he is one of the last almost 100 percent, wholly original (especially in terms of overall sound and lyrics) Rap orchestrators left.He has proven this with his three previous efforts: Bastard, Goblin and Wolf. On his debut and sophomore LPs he displayed a youthful rebelliousness which was easily relatable and made him a musical leader (the type he calls out for on the second track of Cherry Bomb, “Buffalo”, gleefully aware that there are none left to a grove and with an overall flow reminiscent of Easy E). He recaptured most of this adolescent angst on Wolf but also showed great signs of maturity and proved some of his most interestingly versatile content to date.On his 4th album, Cherry Bomb, although fairly different than his prior works as it is one of his more mellow efforts (if you can really say such a thing about someone as harmoniously brash as Tyler the Creator), it reinforces the creativity in his music, his openness to transform and evolve and his willingness to take chances with the music he delivers to his fans.Even though I was hoping for more of his early Eminem horrorcore style (as he showcased on his 3 earlier albums), he also doesn't have as much to say as he did on his previous efforts in there for the content and some of the overall quality of this record suffers, I truly admire the more early 90's, melodic, The Roots style vibe it eventually takes on (after the opening track, “Deathcamp”, which sounds too modern to really fit the feel which is the rest of the songs) and the content, personality, outlook and general attitude on display is almost entirely his own (try to think of someone who can exhibit the vibe of “2Seater” or the heavy rock influenced title track to the album with the precise feel he leaves audiences with on these two songs alone).Sadly, he may sing almost as much as he raps (the small number of hip hop verses present throughout actually caught my ear the first time around and distracted me from the high quality of this funky opus and from second listen on I saw it as a superfluous criticism that really has no bearing on the high-quality of this new material) on these 13 tracks. If you let this initial response leave you and simply go with it you cannot deny how infectious, soulful and addictive the wall of sound he creates here and it all is what helps separate him from most musicians who only do one or the other.The gritty aggression he displayed in his previous efforts is only intermittent in this LP but it achieves a nice balance between laid back funk and the unruly essence that possessed his prior efforts. Every song is consistently listenable and Tyler has given us music on Cherry Bomb which is as much about the unique, multi-layered sound and effect driven grooves as it is his distinctly styled rhymes (if there is more than a touch of mainstream content this time around which even he mentions out loud and makes fun of himself for in the second to the last track of this album, “Keep Da O’s”, to a Dr. Dre-like orchestration and with an overall flow reminiscent of Easy E). That in itself makes this LP worthwhile and an absolute must for those of us who want to remember Rap’s heyday (the 90’s) and need a modern reminder of what made it so great.

Really cool wish I could give this 10 starz

i love cherry bomb + this comes with a poster

I'm not an avid rap/hip-hop listener, so I can't really talk about how good the lyrics are.Speaking purely on experimental music, it's more experimental than any of his other albums have been. The quality of sound varies greatly in between each songs. "Cherry Bomb" (titular song) doesn't sound good. At all. I'm listening on headphones and it isn't the least bit pleasing to listen to, which is why mainly the album earns 4/5 stars. On the other hand, "Find Your Wings" features some of the best mastering I have ever heard from a song. It's this inconsistency between songs that I really don't get. I don't know if the artist is trying to convey a feeling here, make you think he's trying to convey a feeling, or just doesn't care. Anyways, it's not exactly a pleasure to listen to. Perhaps that's why the album is named Cherry Bomb. It's supposed to be like a Cherry Bomb to your ears.Tyler may be a genius because I don't understand why the music almost completely eclipses the lyrics during some songs like Deathcamp. Other songs like the aforementioned "Find Your Wings", the lyrics are clear and not impeded by anything. Other songs have lyrics that are barely intelligible.Honestly, I prefer Wolf. It's a better album.
