At first listen I really thought that it was a stellar effort but the depth isn't there, the lyrics tend not to inspire - comparing it to some other rap artists' albums which have came out recently it's a bit timid.

Colorful, Pharrell-influenced tracks are what make Cherry Bomb great, and really show Tyler is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to interesting production. I can't say anything except that I love this album. When I listen to the beautiful chords and xylophone provided by Roy Ayers on FIND YOUR WINGS, or the epic string bridge in the middle of 2SEATER, or the sexy and funky BLOW MY LOAD, all the way to the long and kaleidoscopic love-ballad that is OKAGA, CA. Cherry Bomb may be Tyler's most hated album. I can't say From beautiful to distorted, and back again. Worst songs: 'Cherry Bomb', 'Find Your Wings' … Expandįrom beautiful to distorted, and back again. Highlights: 'Deathcamp', 'Run' (I actually like this one, believe it or not), 'The Brown Stains of Darkeese Latifah Part 6-12 (Remix)', 'Smuckers'. Overall, if you can accept the fact that Tyler is weird, you won't hate this album but if you limit your listening to a few artists, you will hate this album. His production has been great on his previous albums, and Tyler, the Creator has never been very lyrical, but songs like 'Find Your Wings' simply have a lack of lyrics and songs like 'Cherry Bomb' leave listeners skeptical about what the beat is actually supposed to sound like, and most importantly what Tyler is saying. There are a few skits but they are just random. How is it possible to believe that 'Deathcamp', 'Find Your Wings' and 'Cherry Bomb' are on the same album? Tyler is trying to be creative with his neo-soul/N.E.R.D./high vocals/distorted songs, which he is, but it's ultimately ruined by how the songs don't flow together. This album, however, does the opposite of that. There have been many albums that contain a diverse musical style (MBDTF comes to mind) but most of them have been able to tie the songs together well.

The main problem with Cherry Bomb, however, is how well this album could be divided into four separate EPs. And this weirdness of his is original and good (except for the excessive mixing). What's not weird about this album? Tyler's singing (something he's always wanted to do but never attempted it much before on his previous albums) to his high-pitched vocals (again, something that he's never really done on his previous albums, or on ANY album, this commonly) to the excessive mixing are all some of the weirdest things I've ever experienced in musical history.

Tyler has always been a weird musician (and person) but this album is Tyler's weirdness at its peak. What's not weird about this album? Tyler's singing (something he's always wanted to do but never attempted it much before on his previous albums) to his high-pitched vocals (again, something that he's never really done on his previous albums, or on ANY album, Cherry Bomb is a weird album.
