Review:

IGOR was Tyler’s first album which made him super popular. Before this, Tyler was experimenting with both rap and contemporary music. His music style changes can be seen when comparing albums like Flower Boy to Okra, which made critics believe that Tyler would never be successful. However, IGOR showed that Tyler can be both unique and successful. IGOR’S THEME opens the album up and immediately expresses the entire tone of the album. From the start, Tyler creates a unique vibe with blaring synthesizers, amps, drums, and other miscellaneous objects. Tyler doesn’t make this album longer than necessary, either. Every song seems to utilize every second. It’s never too short or too long, which is shocking with its small run time of 39 minutes.
