    Really shows how much MGK has matured since his early days. Still mixing up different genres in his songs, keeping his original flow in songs like "The Gunner" and introducing a new side of himself in songs like "27", "Habits", "The Break Up". He also made two big hits in collab with pop singers Camila Cabello and Hailee Stanfield. Really 10/10 artist evolution right there, not giving upReally shows how much MGK has matured since his early days.

    One more loved album of MGK. Especially "27" and "Kiss the sky" song. That's showing that Kells is writing from his heart and the music he puts out are the parts of his soul. He did really great job with this album.

    I'm not sure why some people hate this album, but i'm guessing they don't like MGK in general and likely support "has-been" Eminem.
    Bloom has many great songs and overall it's stronger album than his previous works. Vocals are great, songs are well structured and as expected, very good production.

    Bloom was pretty good album in my opinion it is 2nd Best Project in Discography.

    The Best Tracks on Bloom were: •27 •Rehab •Bad Things(with Camila Cabello) •Let Her Go •Kiss The Sky(My Favourite Song on the Album) •Go For Broke(Feat. James Arthur) •The Gunner •Trap Paris(Feat. Quavo and Ty Dolla $ign) •At My Best(Featuring. Hailee Steinfeld) But the reason why I gave this project a 7 is    Bloom was pretty good album in my opinion it is 2nd Best Project in Discography.

    The Best Tracks on Bloom were:
    •27
    •Rehab
    •Bad Things(with Camila Cabello)
    •Let Her Go
    •Kiss The Sky(My Favourite Song on the Album)
    •Go For Broke(Feat. James Arthur)
    •The Gunner
    •Trap Paris(Feat. Quavo and Ty Dolla $ign)
    •At My Best(Featuring. Hailee Steinfeld)

    But the reason why I gave this project a 7 is because it also had some of MGK's Worst Songs One of them being Track 9 "Can't Walk" in which MGK Use a Super Boring Delivery for pretty much the entire track expect in the being of the 2nd Verse and then later on in the verse he switches back to the boring ass delivery another song in which I think is kinda bad (but not as Bad as Can't Walk) is Track 6 "Golden God"

    But Beside from those 2 Bad Tracks I would say Bloom was a pretty enjoyable listen.    … Expand

    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.
