    With 'When It's Dark Out', I now view G-Eazy as a legitimate artist. Compared to his previous work, this album has far more mature subject matter and a fuller, more cohesive sound. There were a few moments where it felt like he was trying a little too hard to please all of his fans. For the most part, however, WIDO is an outstanding album; one that immediately becomes one of my favoriteWith 'When It's Dark Out', I now view G-Eazy as a legitimate artist.

For the most part, however, WIDO is an outstanding album; one that immediately becomes one of my favorite albums of 2015. With a little more refinement of his sound, G-Eazy could become an elite figure in the hip hop world. ~ 8.0/10

    "When it's Dark Out" is a great album. It is quite different from his previous works. there are good songs and there are those which you even don't wanna hear, those songs can be attributed to one of the singles "order more".

    It is surely a great album. It has everything from stronger rap to slower and calmer rap. The lyrics focus on G-Eazy's personal issues. It has some skipable tracks like You Got Me or What If. To sum up, despite the weaker tracks, it is my favourite rap album and it is surely worth recommendation, so it deserves a 9/10.

    A second album that could’ve hit a home run if it hadn’t worked so hard to cover all the bases.

    There aren't many surprises here for fans, save for the fact that he manages to spin the same nocturnal stories of drugs, partying, and fornicating over 17 addictive tracks without it ever growing stale.

    When It's Dark Out marks a vast leap forward: His cadences are more agile, his boasts more boastful, his guest list tighter (Too Short, E-40, Kehlani).
