    WHAT THE HELL IS MACHINE GUN KELLY DOING?! I know he can do better than this! Just watch his Double XL cypher and tell me THIS is what he's been reduced to! With laughable production, just AWFUL flow and lyrics, and a guest appearance from a former Fifth Harmony member, this is truly unacceptable from one of my favorite white rappers. 1/10

    this album is directionless and just plain awful. the production on some of the early tracks is really promising at first but as soon as MGK hops on ruins the whole song.

    A terrible album, with a terrible sound, I do not see anything beautiful in the lyrics, it is a failure of the century

    RIP MGK

    From a glimpse of his rock star lifestyle to transparent parables of his quest for inner peace, Machine Gun Kelly crafts a well-rounded effort that is likely to raise his stock and push his name back into the conversation of respected rappers. Bloom is an effort that’s just short of a comeback, but is very much a step up for Cleveland’s finest.

    While Bloom isn't as thrilling as his debut Lace Up, fans of 2015's General Admission will appreciate the familiar blend of pop-savvy rap and the occasional guitar riff. Even though MGK assumes a dark and brooding energy for much of the album, the efforts toward introspective maturity are admirable.

    Bloom feels less like the work of a persona than an authentic attempt at sorting out a sometimes messy life--far from perfect, yet perfectly compelling.
