    The lyrics are predictably bland. The delivery is stiff. The sound is tired. The aesthetic is obnoxious. The video/movie complement was laughable and half assed. Blink-1-82 did not need this sequel. I hoped tte hype would amount to something. Unfortunately it results in a tedious disappointment.

    An album that sounds like an entire coection of bad blink 182 b sides, accompany that with terrible vocals, cliche lyrics and forgettae songs and you have tickets to my downfall, at least Travis Barkers drumming was excellent.
    This certainly isn't a good album much less a good pop punk album

    Some songs are catchy enough, but the majority are lame ripoffs of older pop punk bands. Its more like a 4/10 but I gave it 0 to balance out all these 10/10 reviews it looks like were spammed by the same person

    A **** rapper made a **** rock album... what a surprise. MGK spends 36 minutes stumbling over excessive amounts of hypocrisy, oxymorons and lyrics that could have been written by an 8-year-old who just learned about swear words. I cant tell what is worse about this album. The attitude that goes along with it or the horrible music that is featured on it.

Travis Barker from Blink-182 plays the drums on this album and are the main reason why i gave it a score higher than I think it deserves.

    On Tickets To My Downfall he tries a new gambit that works surprisingly well, switching to late-Nineties/early-2000s pop punk, with Blink 182’s Travis Barker producing and playing drums. Trashily lachrymose and full of easily digestible angst.

    he annoying melodrama that made his rap material so exhausting is what gives his new music some real power. For the first time ever, the instrumentation suits Baker’s natural whine.

    Thematically, Tickets to My Downfall is hardly a departure from MGK’s past work, but the new surroundings lightens his music up considerably even amidst the hormones and histrionics. With Travis Barker on his side, he might win over skeptics accusing him of trend-hopping, but the best part of Downfall is that he doesn’t take the whole endeavor too seriously.
