Migos are firing on all cylinders here, their new record a lush, chaotic patchwork that pops with primary colours. The fab three have done it again

Quavo sings, "Mama told me, 'Break out of these chains, son, and you'll go far'". Far they've gone, but they're still pushing forward

The 405
It's easy to look at the bloated tracklist of CULTURE II and balk, but Migos have striven to deliver on every moment of their ambitious sequel. Cash grab or not, it hardly skimps on thrills

Pretty Much Amazing
Migos have mastered their craft, but they spend too much time delivering what we expect instead of exploring their more interesting caprices. They have the talent and they have our attention—we'll see what they do with it on Culture III

Not unlike how they re-popularized that now-ubiquitous flow, we may have Migos to credit for the return of rap albums that run on the unnecessarily lengthy side

Culture II sounds like a satire of every other rap album released by a major label these days, catering to the lowest common denominator of casual music listener
