    i know tierra’s goal with whack world was to release 15 songs each with 1 minute. this does NOT work as an album for two main reasons.

    1 - the album’s messy and absolutely not cohesive cause the songs are so short they can’t even afford to transition, they just start out of nowhere and sound randomly cut off, this really cuts off the enjoyment of listening to the album 2 - some of    i know tierra’s goal with whack world was to release 15 songs each with 1 minute. this does NOT work as an album for two main reasons.

    2 - some of these songs are actually bops, the problem is they’re so short that when u start to get into them and start vibing and liking them they just abruptly end, leaving absolutely no space for u to really connect with them.

    it just sounds like a big mess of good interludes.... her 3/4 minute singles are actually really good!!!!

    An immediate streamlined exercise in storytelling. Both the colorful visual compliment and full 1min pieces succeed in crafting an immaculate world . An idiosyncratic display of restraint and indulgence somehow simultaneously. Very impressive.

    1 minute per one song is a kinda genius idea which Tierra used in her newest album.
    If you don't have a lot of time and you want to spend 15 minutes really good this album is for you!
    I gave the album the strong 6. It's just my opinion

    Whack World morphs into a clever exercise in economy and using only what you need. It’s a visual album prepackaged for optimum social media consumption; every tiny piece stands on its own without losing sight of the larger picture. At its core, though, Whack’s sense of humor--her captivating depiction of a black woman’s imagination--is an opportunity to celebrate an aspect of art that often goes uncelebrated, an opportunity for Whack to celebrate herself.

    A snappy, hilarious, disturbing, damnably catchy, but most importantly, complete showcase for one of the most exciting young musicians to emerge--in any genre--for some time.
