Brockhampton ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "More than half of the album is made sunny with dusty bass, dancing keys, uplifting harmonies, or groovy bounce. Standout 'I'll Take You On,' is a pulsing romance assisted by R&B old-head Charlie Wilson."
"[T]he album as a whole feels inspired, and even hopeful."
Billboard - "[The album] presents the self-styled hip-hop boy band's melody-driven reflections as they swerve away from their more boisterous beats, arriving at their most mature project to date."
3 stars out of 5 -- " 'Count On Me' is a summer hit purpose-built for road trips, complete with a whistled melody, while 'Old News' also has a light, airy quality -- every note of 'Roadrunner' is imbued with a deep melancholy."
Paste (magazine) - "The album itself is soaked in the kind of gritty percussion and verbal intensity synonymous with hip-hop. But this time around, BROCKHAMPTON brought a few friends outside of their crew along for the ride."
Pitchfork (Website) - "The hip-hop collective's sixth album refocuses on melody and economy, resulting in the group's most focused and impressive record yet."
Clash (Magazine) - "It's a blast, but also subtle, incorporating Millennial pop and gospel in equal measure."
