Membre de Odd Future, collectif dont faisait aussi parti Tyler The Creator.Earl Sweatshirt et moins connu et a tout de même moins produit que ce dernier.Néanmoins ces albums sont de qualité et celui-ci est selon mon point de vu de loin le meilleur...

This is one of the best albums to come out in 2015. The rhymes are impeccable, the beat selection is immaculate, and the cohesion and atmosphere between and in songs are nothing to scoff at. Listening to this album was a ride through the mind of Earl Sweatshirt, and what he was experiencing at the time. He effortlessly conveys his feelings into the tracks, and lets it marinate in them. This is one of the greatest albums of 2015, can play it front to back with no skips.

Went and bought this earlier in the morning and it came in the same day. Other than a small crack on the front of the case, everything else was pretty clean! I love the artwork book, the cover of the compact disc, and the tracks. And for a new compact disc it beats trying to find one at a record store (although I do love going to record stores like FYE).

アルバム全体が暗闇の中での強度を強調する音像。アールの歌詞は複雑で紛れもなく分かりやすい。彼のアルバムがリスナーのためになるのと同じくらい自分のためラップしている。アールスウェットシャツの自分探しのアルバムではあるが捨て曲なし。アールスウェットシャツの才能は次のアルバムで炸裂する。

Wesentlich raffinierter als der Vorgänger und ein merklicher Schritt Richtung „Some Rap Songs“ - dabei aber für den Otto Normal Raphörer stets zugänglicher als der Nachfolger. Großes Album!

4 out of 5 stars ... Wasn't a huge odd future fan , but damn this album has grown on me ... Earl did an amazing job with this album ...the lo fi heavy bass lines and eerie repeating synths make for a dark and entertaining atmosphere which brings Earl's delivery to the forefront as he touches on issues such as growing up as a troubled teen , without a father and finding ways to deal with fame and then,the problems that have come with it ...the first couple spins I was unsure , but I see it now . This hear is a masterpiece and earl should be proud . Definitely his best and most artistic album and it's going to be hard to top this one ! If u like dark lyrics & moody atmosphere , this is for u ... Fans of odd future , sadistik , and moody black will dig this !

Earl If you read this, thank you for making this awesome album. I feel so hard with yet, yet I don't at hard/ I'm a hard act to follow. Yeeh. Genius. Especially the lo-fi basement mixtape quailty, you hit that out the park bro, sounds like something I'd like to hear at a local party or something. Good Home-down, vibe with this, the intro to "huey" is great as well bro, one love.

Earl Sweatshirt is one of the most consistent members of Odd Future without a doubt. This album is his third release & it doesn't disappoint. It reminds me of his first album in terms of running time. It consists of 10 tracks so it's shorter than his last album which is the only con. He has grown & matured in terms of lyrics for sure. This album is his most personal to date & you get a better idea of what Earl's perspective of life is. It's dark production complements the songs & makes it an enjoyable listen with a high replay value. Props to Earl!

The dust is in clumps on the floor. We try to sweep them up, but some things were never meant for the bin. They stick to the hairs of the broom, disgruntled. They break apart in the chaos and disperse. Little particulate floating aimlessly, getting caught up in our throats. Then bile kicks in--the dormant hack in our esophagus --try to choke it down, let it gurgle in your gut until your bladder gets inflamed.Sad sack optimist, a hopeless grin plastered on the brown white black, scrawled across the lectern. It's brutal out here in the open, taking pot shots from concrete stomping peons begging for some meaning. Just keep the door shut. This grimy little nothing is all we kids got. So we dip that bass deep, tar the neighborhood. Feather our fingers and scribble our complaints in the rain.Living long enough to acknowledge death and waiting for the crash to give us some meaning. Outside it's all sunlight and smiles. Worthless. Give me that reflective tape. That bright eyed, headlight luminescence. We are hung up and hanged, lonely and too well known. Altogether too dependent on the chemical imbalance that tells me that this gritty little ditty is more than an alcohol related accident. Only sane when I'm alone. Only alone when I'm sane. So I'll paw the darkness for my enemy. A corpse is better company than this grief.Alone is free.

This album is fantastic and reflects Earl's growth as a writer. The beats are simple, but will get stuck in your head, and have a melancholy feel to them (Which is basically the tone for the whole album) It's very down-tempo, and the tone given by Earl throughout is serious as he vents and makes his emotions known. I was debating whether or not to get this album, and was glad that I did, because I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'm sure you will too

Make no mistake about it...this is a dark album. Driven by excellent production that emphasises the intensity in darkness, every track feels like it channels the dark energy towards a positive manner. Earl's lyrics manage to be complex yet unmistakably straight-forward. I am excited to see his next work as hopefully his album is as cathartic for himself as it can be for listeners.

Under two years since his superb debut Doris, Earl Sweatshirt returns with his second album, I Don't Like S***, I Don't Go Outside. Based off of the album title, the cover and even other reviews of the album, it would seem that this would be a much darker offering compared to Doris. But upon listening it is not as dark as all of these factors make it out to be.In fact, I Don't Like S***... starts off quite light with "Huey", a brief opener which sees Earl as more reminiscent and more introspective compared to how he was on Doris. Although "Huey" is the lightest offering on the album, lyrically it tells the listener exactly what to expect from the following 9 tracks. Following "Huey" comes "Mantra" which is without doubt one of the best songs on the album, and possibly one of Earl's best to date. The moody, slightly amped production combined with Earl's almost on edge, angry but yet calm delivery all mix together brilliantly. Lyrically, "Mantra" mostly focusses around how his success has changed how people around him act and how it put a strain on a relationship he was in. There is even a small part where Earl reminds himself to be grateful for the fans, even if they do hound him (Think Tyler's "Colossus" in 3 or 4 bars). From "Mantra" comes "Faucet", which is very similar to "Mantra" lyrically but more personal, and is more brooding and sullen.Next comes "Grief", the darkest song on the album, both lyrically and sonically, and is Earl at his most paranoid and anxious. "Grief" sees Earl talk about his dislike for untrustworthy people and his troubles with addiction, to then stooping in a depressive pool as he ponders about his dead grandmother and he wish to say sane. Overall, one of the best songs on the album, if not his best to date. From "Grief" we have "Off Top" a brilliant lyrical showcase, produced by Odd Future cohort Left Brain. Whereas "Off Top" is one of the more lyrical offerings, there are still glimpses of introspection and self-reflection. Hidden beneath the lyrical onslaught are revelations of how he tries to pay his mother back and how he's trying to get over splitting up with his "main one". (Sidenote: "I've been like this since the Motorola Razor" has got to be top 5 lyrics have written").The second half of the album is kicked off by "Grown Ups", a very Mobb Deep-esque number which sees Earl and Da$H trade lyrics back and forth for 3 minutes. With no real structure, it is more like one long conscious stream from Earl and Da$H instead of a song. All in all, "Grown Ups" is a fantastic song and shows how much of a great combo Earl and Da$H are, and is probably the closest you can get to a "Rap duet". For the next two tracks IDLS picks itself up slightly from the dark atmosphere it mostly resides in with "AM // Radio" and "Inside", with the latter's cloudy, relaxed feel making it one of the highlights on the album.But just as things start to get more upbeat, the album returns to its dark residence with "DNA", one of the darkest songs on the album, second to "Grief". "DNA" sees Earl again lament about the strains of the rap game whilst at the same time sliding in a couple boasts, whilst Na'kel pays tribute to a dead friend of his. The dark feeling of the track, and the way the beat rides out for a while before the end would have made this a perfect closer to the album. However that role is given to "Wool", a lighter number, very similar to "Huey" and sees Vince Staples and Earl providing an outstanding verse each. Without doubt, "Wool" is a great song, and would have fitted in comfortably on Doris, but with its almost abrupt ending the album just seems to stop prematurely. Whereas Doris was closed out by the amazing reprise of "Knight", IDLS just stops as if you accidently clicked eject after Earl's verse.With that in mind, I Don't Like S***, I Don't Go Outside is still a simply amazing album and is, in a lot of ways, better than Doris. This album sees Earl being more honest and open about his life and feelings in his songs. Even in moments that seem the least introspective there are still glimpses of his emotions and thoughts hidden beneath. In conclusion, IDLS is a darker album than Doris but not as dark as people make it out to be. What is for definite is that it is his most personal, comprehensive album, showing how as a rapper, producer, and all round artist Earl is better than ever.(P.s. the packaging of the album is so brilliantly done, the front and back covers, the disc and the booklet all compliment the album so well. The attention to detail is evident).
