Beerbongs & Bentleys

"Guests like Swae Lee and Ty Dolla $ign get lost in the mix, while G-Eazy, YG, 21 Savage, and Nicki Minaj bolster Post's credibility while stealing the spotlight on their respective tracks. Beerbongs & Bentleys is an apt reflection of his lavish lifestyle and his subsequently begotten hardships, but its attempts at sincerity work only when Post Malone stops trying so hard".

"The second album from the crossover star features a few inarguable pop hits, but Post Malone's singular, dour mood wears thin and grows stale after too long ... His best hooks are so tuneful and airless they directly target the ear's pleasure centers. Too often, though, Beerbongs overplays its hand, twisting potentially breezy songs into something false and performative. For an artist whose secret weapon is his light touch, Post Malone lays it on mighty thick".

"Post Malone er en hvid og syngende rapper med flair for melodisk og døsig attitude. Hiphop er et overvejende afroamerikansk musikreservat, men Post Malone har vundet respekt med originalitet og ved at opfinde sin egen lyd ... På 'Beerbongs & Bentleys' holder han fast i sin luftige og bedøvende hiphoplyd dog med mere countrytwang. Teksterne kredser om alt fra succes og dyre biler til forliste forhold og receptmedicin. Der er en afstand til følelser, som paradoksalt nok bliver en medrivende og hyper følsom flugt fra det, der gør ondt".
