It honestly seems more than 3 years ago since Earl Sweatshirt's debut project Earl was released, considering everything that has happened to him and Odd Future. But what makes the 3 year gap between Earl and Doris seem most suprising is the immense growth of Earl as an artist...From a more raspy, dark, multi syllable delivery of lyrics to even producing his own songs (Under the alias randomblackdude) Earl feels his most comfortable musically. With his new style being perfectly flexed on songs like 'Molasses', 'Hive' and 'Centurion', Earl even gets introspective with subjects such as love ('Sunday' with Frank Ocean) and the pressures that have faced him since returning from Somoa ('Chum') and making this very album ('Burgudy').From beginning to end, the 15 track offering fails to dissapoint any fan of Earl's or of Odd Future's with Earl being lyrically and sonically outstanding throughout. Even when the majority of the song is given to his guest features (Tyler on 'Sasquatch', Sk La' Flaire on 'Pre' and Mac Miller on 'Guild') Earl never seems like a guest on his own album.The only flaw of this album (and it is a small one) is that most of the songs on the album are under 3 minutes long, and when every song is as amazing as the one before it you sort of think "come on Earl, just one more verse!". However, saying this, no song feels rushed or premature, definitely a case of "less is more".

Something sinister to it
A lot less depressing than his more recent album however the lyrics and beats are just as good, but that's what you expect from Earl.

must buy for odd future fans
Awesome, favourite tracks Burgundy, Sunday, Hive, Chum and Guild. Big step up from first album, great features on this album eg. Frank Ocean, Mac Miller,Tyler The Creator,Vince Staples and Casey Veggies. Also has production from The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo) and BadBadNotGood. Complex verses so maybe those who prefer Tyler's style might not be a fan of this. This album definitely requires many plays to get used to but overall i love it. Looking forward to Earl's next album already!

Probably not for the average Odd Future fans, but more for those who have always appreciated the poetry behind Sweatshirts unique lyrics and beat styles.I Love this album, but others hate it.
