Agree with everything in op, always felt like mac was talented, he has a lot of amazing songs in his discog, but never really had an album that was truly great to me. I loved circles tho, so much so as to put it #2 on my AOTY list. Maybe his death affected a bit how i felt about it, but ultimately i feel his death is important in the context of the album and elevates it sonically and thematically. It's a 9/10 to me.
R.I.P mac ❤️
Nope, I haven't given their discog a proper listen.
i heard it in a movie n was like i heard this before
Never would've expected Mac to drop songs like this.

yeah heard it in jojo rabbit
That's on my list!
just don't think mac is that great
Fair enough, I kinda agree but I love this album.
good movie
Heard good things.
I'll admit, I've never been a huge fan of Mac. Always knew he was a very capable artist but I always felt like he wasn't able to really construct a cohesive album. It was either slightly unfocused (The Divine Feminine) or wasted potential but still great (Watching Movies With the Sound Off).
With Circles, he really showed his true potential. When he's not rapping, he has the perfect voice for this somewhat lonely and helpless type of delivery that works so well for this album. You feel every single line he sings and you can tell he truly means it.
Good News for example is brilliant, hands down the best song he's ever made.

& RIP 🌹
circles is a great album and i would've felt it even if he was here. i feel like this would've been the start of a thematic shift for him if he was still here.

That's what makes this so sad, I really wanted to see what he was gonna do next.
Circles and Swimming were great, makes me wonder how the next couple of projects could've been

I like Swimming too actually.

Apparently he planned to go back to a heavy focused rap album next.
Hopefully some of that surfaces through Madlib
