Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
There's a fair amount of surface noise in this album, which is par for the course with a bootleg. Sides A and B are fantastic for kicking back and enjoying, but as another reviewer mentioned, Sides C and D are a bit of a bumpy ride. While the song quality isn't terrible, it can be a struggle to get through. Its only redeeming quality is that G Wagon managed to press it, though it's cut short. As for the color, I received a pink marble instead of neon, but that's no big deal. Overall, if you're looking for Balloonerism on vinyl, this isn't a bad copy. Sides A and B are still great for listening, and C and D have some nice surprises, even if they're a bit choppy.
This compilation of tracks from a rumored lost album is a genuine effort, but it takes a strange turn on the second disc. It starts side C with just a tiny Instagram snippet (15 seconds) of the track "Oracle," then throws in a mix of songs from different eras. You've got "Smile" and "God Speed" from the GO:OD AM days, "G Wagon" from the Swimming/Circles period, and tracks supposedly recorded around the Watching Movies and Faces era, which is when this album is said to have been made. And then, on side D, there's a questionable YouTube remix of the leaked song "Are We There Yet" and a remix of "Pure" with varying quality, both sonically and artistically. I wish whoever put this together hadn't mixed the eras of recordings together in the second half of the vinyl. They should've just stuck to the tracks from around 2013-2014, which is when this project is said to have been created. Maybe they could've put the extra tracks they wanted to include at the very end as a bonus, so you didn't have to listen to widely different stages of Mac Miller's career to complete the album. This unfortunately ruined the experience of the project for me quite a bit compared to the widely speculated 16-17 track tracklist floating around.
Audio sounds great slight crackling I'm loving the pink RIP Mac Miller
The vinyl's clear and has a nice, smooth finish. The sound is rich and crisp. This is by far the best Mac album pressing I've got.
Can anyone compare this pressing to the Original 16 track version that's available?
