He is everything. I am so excited to dive into this album. I just love what he has done for representation for gay boys everywhere, especially black and brown boys. This man is truly an icon.

This album reminds me of my closeted experience in high school, being in love with [REDACTED] and not being able to have him. LNX is a visionary!

That's What I Want is probably my favorite song of his so far! And that video is HOT

I gave this a spin out of sheer respect for his "disruption" in mainstream, and I wasn't mad at it. Not an album I would replay though.

Overall, great album! I really enjoyed it on first listen. My favorite/standout tracks (not counting the singles) are Thats What I Want, Scoop, One Of Me, and Lost In The Citadel. I love how he is so open and direct when it comes to same sex relationships, it’s very refreshing. The only song that I don’t like is Life After Salem and it’s mainly because Lil Nas X’s vocals on it are really bad and out of his range. Everything else ranges from good to amazing.

The album is pretty good, can't wait to dive into it more on repeated listens.

I’m genuinely surprised! I know he has a lot of support among other artists in the industry but I didn’t expect critical acclaim with that.

That 1-2-3 punch of the first three songs is too much. I can't think of the last time I was hit that hard, honestly. Overall, the album is very strong. There is not a song I dislike...well, except for the last track, but I can just stop before it gets there. I want a physical copy for sure. I am very impressed. The production is fantastic, also. He should be proud.
Dolla Sign Slime (OUCH. he just ruined other rappers' careers. Wow. A statement. A thug anthem. Meghan...whew. That's all I will say.) Industry Baby (Jack Harlow sounds like a cross between G-Eazy and Mac Miller and it turns me on.) Montero Dead Right Now That's What I Want (this will be HUGE.) Void (I wasn't paying attention for the first half but damn, this song is so emotional.) Don't Want It Sun Goes Down Lost In The Citadel Tales of Dominica Scoop One Of Me (that piano is sooo pretty. Come through, Sir Elton with the understated plink plinks. Gives me suburban Chinese restaurant vibes.) Life After Salem (rough, but..I get it) Am I Dreaming (not the vibe I wanted from them together, at all. Billy Ray>>>>>>>>) The Art Of Realization

With 17-20k in sales. I’m certain it would’ve been higher had physical product of any kind been available.

I didn't enjoy the album sadly. Hope it'll be a grower. Even if it's not, i'm so happy for LNX and proud of him.

*applause*
Calling him a rapper seems too limiting. This album is very solid and not just "hip hop."

Yes I found it to be a very solid 7.5 album. Fun and well produced. For better or worse the single selection has been perfect so we will probably get a deluxe thing soon to make the era last longer.
Massive improvement over his first EP, which was kinda disjointed and lacked the strong identity he now has. I don't love the cover but I love how all the visuals are more or less in that style. A cohesive era so far.
