SCORE: 90/100. INCREDIBLE MIX OF SOUNDS AND INSANELY PRODUCED. VERSES ARE INCREDIBLE AND TYLER HAS CONTINUED TO SHOW HIS ARTISTRY AND VISIONS THROUGH HIS SONGS.
Tyler, The Creator swooping in and coming to make one of the (possible) best projects of the year?? Not on my 2024 bingo card - but this year has been packed to the brim full of unexpectedness, so it's almost best to expect the unexpected.
The announcement of this album took me completely by surprise and I watched it unfold through Reddit (mostly). I was a HUGE Tyler nerd for a really long time, so this project is big news to me - especially since I'm getting back into his music slightly. I overplayed his music like crazy for a long time and was literally obsessed with his projects, so this is something exciting for that part of me.
A buzzy, gritty, 70s rock influenced track with too many elements to count - 'Noid' is an incredible return for the hip-hop superstar. This is so much more than just hip-hop, it does something more than what one would expect, and this was a wonderfully unexpected and new sound for Tyler. The verses are incredible and his flow has improved even more since his last album - and his producer + writer credits are very impressive.
'Noid' feels similar to tracks by Childish Gambino in terms of the funk rock influenced production, and this is bound to be one of the best releases of the year.
