    Unified and complex, ‘Octane’ bolsters the aspects that drove him to Billboard heights, while also teasing out fresh ideas.

    While it may not be flawless, it's another strong entry in a consistently compelling catalogue. His mom called it a masterpiece, and I guess that's all that matters.

    The rapper's sound moves subtly between modes throughout the album, with touches of fantastical synths on the trap-pop tune "Call Back," R&B undercurrents on the infectious "Tiramisu," and a hybrid of Y2K-inspired pop melodies and simmering old-school radio rap production on "ATM."

    Despite underwhelming stretches, the album retains enough moments of personality to breathe life into even ordinary lines.
