It offers what seems like a very truthful essence of Gambino’s current mindstate. “The Party,” though one of the shortest songs on the album is one of the best. “Playing Around Until the Party Starts” includes the brilliant detail of scattered, recorded conversation rising in volume-sort of a claustrophobic nightmare of a party scene.Ĥ) The album sounds like the album cover looks: A snapshot of a man the morning after the party is over, surveying his big house littered in bottles and turned over trashcans. “Death By Numbers" might best be described as someone going Beethoven on an intergalactic space organ. Drake’s half-n-half croon-rap influence is audible in “Telegraph Avenue,” Kendrick’s devil-on-the-shoulder voice affectation for much of “Flight of the Navigator,” a hint of southern flow, Soulja Boy's perhaps, in “Worldstar.”ģ) There are a bunch of shorter, instrumental interludes. Like surfing the web (or, before that, channel surfing on TV) can give you a flickering, kaleidiscopic view of the world, the album presents a variety of styles from song to song. Despite the self-doubt it expresses in its lyrics, Because the Internet is, artistically, an infinitely more confident album than hits predecessor, Camp, which came out two years ago.Ģ) It explores its "concept" thoroughly, in a few dimensions. Here are some first impressions:ġ) Amidst the controversy of his by-all-accounts very real battle with depression and loneliness, the album plays like a manic internal monologue. Due out December, the new Childish Gambino album is now available for listening. No one should be surprised that an album titled Because the Internet leaks a week early.
