    Alright, so this is an interesting mixtape, you can tell Desiigner is kinda biting Future's style, but his powerful and angry voice throughout this album keep it interesting to listen to. Songs like Caliber show Desiigners's angry vibes which is much different the Future's chill vibes.

    This mixtape as a whole doesn't bring something unique into play. Granted, I was having a hell of a time going wild over the first few tracks, but once Monstas and Villains ended, the rest of the mixtape seemed "mehhhhh" and I ended up getting so frustrated that even the final track, Panda, wasn't enough to bend me back into shape. The production does slap hard on some tracks, but thisThis mixtape as a whole doesn't bring something unique into play.

    Nothing new really. Desiigner seems to like making songs that have a catchy beat, a hook that is repeated many times and a verse or two that are really similar. It sounds alright, but doesn't really feel groundbreaking or anything like that. Panda is a good example of a song that really gets stuck in your head lol.

    This weird and often wonderful ride broadens the scope, painting Desiigner as a much darker rapper with his hallucinatory music just skirting on the surface of a bad trip.

    Most of the energy of New English is poured into his (trademark?) ad-libs. The staccato yeahs and machine-gun sound effects do a good job of convincing you that you’re listening to an exciting project. But after a while, it just starts to make your head hurt.

    Brevity in music can be good, but some of these songs seem to end as quickly as they start, and could be fleshed out a bit. Desiigner’s lyrics also seem to be limited in subject matter, and the themes of the song can all seem the same after a while.
