However, the songs were all very musical, unique and interesting, which is something that Childish Gambino excels at. Most of the words included were just small phrases repeated in different chords. Most of the songs did not contain full verses or choruses, or many words at all, for that matter. I kept getting into the groove of each piece and then as the piece ended deciding I did not like it as the final 30 seconds or so were at odds with the rest of the song. I cannot say I really disliked almost any of the songs, but the biggest turn-off for me was when the songs transitioned into their endings, which were jarring and not always musical. Other than those two, the pieces are each titled by their song-ending time slot, through the whole album which ends with “53.49”. These did not stand out to me as being particularly different than the other pieces, so I am unsure of the meaning of that. Two songs are marked by words: “Algorhythm”, and “Time”, the second and third songs, respectively. I think this was a bold statement to make, as many of the songs do not quite flow into each other as one might expect in a symphonic piece. Moving on to the songs, they are all marked by their time stamp in the album, much like a symphony might mark itself by its movements. That is just the album at first glance, without even listening. This album title is also unlike his others, with only a date written. This is different for him, as most of Gambino’s album covers are rich, dark colors with some sort of tribal or naturalistic art on them. And it was certainly out there, even for Childish Gambino.įirst, the album cover is absolutely blank. The newest album by an artist who is ever-changing his style was released earlier this month.
