Post Malone, F-1 Trillion ⭐️⭐️❌❌❌
Post Malone is back with an album that asks, “How many country music tropes can I contain?” The answer to that question is too many. This album is a pastiche of 2000s country radio. Everything you would have heard there is present. Lyrical themes, the vapid messages, and the larger than life production value.
I’ll be honest, as someone who grew up with there always seeming to be a radio blaring country music in my proximity, there is a nostalgic charm to this sound that he has hit upon. But sometimes it’s so over the top, so in your face, that it starts to almost come across as parody. The overabundance of cliches is eye roll inducing.
Favorite song: “California Sober (feat. Chris Stapleton)”
