Watching Movies with the Sound Off

Miguel

Really solid album from Mac. At the time this was definitely his most creative album and most experimental, straying away from the happy, upbeat, goofy rapping and going for this more druggy, trippy style with a lot more singing and a much more lowkey tempo and flow. A lot of really great songs on here and the production on the album is great as well. Top songs are ‘S.D.S’ ‘I Am Who I Am (Killin’ Time)’ ft Niki Randa ‘Object In The Mirror’ ‘Gees’ ft ScHoolboy Q ‘Watching Movies’ ‘Someone Like You’

Watching Movies With the Sound Off is a quantum leap in artistry from Mac Miller’s 2011 debut, Blue Slide Park. Featuring production from Flying Lotus, the Alchemist, Clams Casino, Pharrell Williams, and Earl Sweatshirt, and a rare Jay Electronica verse, it’s the wide-eyed kid brother of Blue Slide Park home from college extolling the virtues of meditation and salvia.

Mac Miller's followup to Blue Slide Park is an improvement on all fronts. While it's not gonna be one of my favs for the year, Mac is seriously reaching for the potential that I've felt he's had for a while with creative production choices, better flows, and some impressive features.
