Mac Miller - Circles (January 17, 2020) Album • Page 6

The Jon Brion interview is great. I don't love every song on this record, but as an unfinished send-off and companion piece, you really couldn't ask for anything better.

 

“I was more excited about him than I’ve been in quite some time”

So amazing to see the respect that Jon (and so many others) have for Mac as a musician. Makes it all the more heartbreaking that this will likely be the last we hear from him. He seemed to be finally growing into his own creative space and Circles proves that evolution.

 

Review: Mac Miller - Circles | Sputnikmusic

hi, have a thing

 

I love how warm this album sounds. Has been drawing me back for the last few days like nothing else, and I wasn't really a fan before Swimming.

 

I’m head over heels for this record

 

I think I love swimming more than this a little bit but they are both fantastic albums

 

After giving it some time to sit (although I don't think I will ever be able to fully judge this album objectively) my order is


Faces
Watching Movies
Swimming
Good AM
Circles
Macadelic
Divine Feminine
KIDS
Blue Slide Park
I Love Life, Thank You
Best Day Ever

Don't really listen to the first two tapes, and if I were including Delusional Thomas I'd put it above KIDS

Also listen to his live album Live From Space if you haven't, it's so good

 

this should debut at number 3 on the top 200

 

hate that i have yet to hear about 3 of those projects ranked there

 

After more time with this record, it is easily my favorite version of Mac.

"Leave the bank, couple hundred thou" from Hand Me Downs is stuck in my head forever.

 

Giving this a shot

 

Good News debuted at #17 on the Hot 100. That's his highest charting song as a lead artist.

 

Great job on the review! You hit the nail on the head with your feelings about “That’s on Me” being “slightly awkward” lol. I’ve been searching for a way to describe it since my first listen.

The comments section is a scary place on there though. YIKES.

 

good lord you weren’t kidding. that looks like an AP thread from 2009

 

thanks JBoch, and yeah I stopped looking at that thread lmao - bunch of teenagers looking for attention, not worth my time

 

cafe by my work had this sign yesterday

 

As much as I love this album I hope the deluxe songs are more rappy, would love to hear some more of that

He already has like 50+ leaked tracks too that are almost all studio quality

 

there's very few leaks from this era though, that have been positively identified. a lot has leaked from the GO:OD AM era (makes sense as he claimed to be recording ten albums in that time) as well as a few from Faces and The Divine Feminine sessions, and maybe one or two from the very early days

I think these tracks are the last of anything he recorded post-Swimming, most likely. I wouldn't expect them to be super hip hop but I might be wrong there ofc

 

This is the first Mac Miller album I’ve gotten into and it’s so fucking good. Upset I wasn’t into his music previously, but I’m glad I can dive into the rest of his stuff. Complicated is stuck in my head 24/7

 

I'd go back to Swimming first, then dive into the other shit. This album is pretty unlike all of his other stuff but Swimming is the closest

 

Has anyone heard the bonus tracks yet?

 

Haven't been released yet anywhere as far as I know

 

so yeah the bonus tracks are goddamn incredible, like on par with the best of the album for me

 

Bonus tracks only available on physical right now?
