Post Malone - Twelve Carat Toothache ALBUM REVIEW
Every musician’s gotta have that butterfly on the cover moment, yeah?
It’s no mistake that Post Malone’s one of the more recognizable voices in mainstream music right now. If I’m being honest, he’s been on a pretty decent streak recently. His last two albums, beerbongs & bentleys and Hollywood’s Bleeding, are some of the best pop-rap albums of the 2010s and most of his hits have aged pretty well over the past couple of years. Even if it’s been oddly silent on the marketing front, we now have his new album Twelve Carat Toothache, a first-world problem if I’ve ever heard one. Because of his track record, I’m actually pretty excited about this, so let’s just get into it.
Let me just get the cat out of the bag: This is pretty easily Posty’s worst project, in my opinion. A lot of the songs in here just felt very uninspired and borderline lazy in some cases. However, I won’t say that Posty doesn’t have the range to pull off the pop and rap songs on here because he’s done it in the past, and much better. As much as I hate to admit it, there’s nothing on the level of his biggest hits on here. Even if I desperately want “One Right Now” with The Weeknd to be a hit, it’s bafflingly dull. The Fleet Foxes track was great, and against all odds, The Kid Laroi ended up with a fantastic feature and showed off the chemistry between him and Posty very well. I guess that’s all I have to say because Twelve Carat Toothache is one of the biggest disappointments of the year. Post Malone hits a bit of a rough patch.
