I personally have a mixed opinion on the album. I listened to it once and I talked with Violet the entire way through it. I hate it more than I like it, but I've only listened to it once fully.

Opinions on all the songs:
(WARNING: These are opinions and opinions only. Don't hurt me.)

Track #1: "Introduction"
Literally just a track of him speaking. Something to just set the tone and stuff of the album, not really meant to be played over and over again.

Track #2: "Ex Bitch"
It's okay. One of the better songs on the album. It's actually fully finished and sounds nice. It has replayability and it's just one of those tracks to play in the background to relax to.

Track #3: "UGLY"
It's not one of the X songs I like. It's not bad, just not what I like to listen to. It's unfinished and very short, which I, along with others, cannot blame him for.

Track #4: "bad vibes forever"
Ahh yes, the title track of the album. Personally, it's my favorite song on here. It's very nice to listen to and has a lot of replayability. It's actually finished and it has some nice features. (which is rare on this album.)

Track #5: "School Shooters"
It's an unfinished track. Thankfully though, Lil Wayne comes in clutch and makes the track sound longer than it actually is. The songs very energetic and I personally like it a lot. One of the better songs on this album if I'm being honest.

Track #6: "I changed her life"
I don't like this song. The filter on X's voice annoys me really badly and hurts my head. X's voice sounds like it was recorded with a tin can. Rick Ross' verse was pretty nice though. If X didn't have a filter on his voice, (or whatever that is) I'd like this track a lot better.

Track #7: "Triumph"
Not a bad one. It's sort of like "Ex Bitch" with the guitar-styled beat. Another one of those background songs I'd listen to if I wanted to relax.

Track #8: "LIMBO"
One of those unfinished songs. Thankfully, Killstation comes through clutch and saves the song with a really nice feature.

Track #9: "before i realize"
Kind of a weird track since X talks about how he waited for someone and died before they did. It seems unfinished as it's very, very short. Kinda an ominous track. Not really bad.

Track #10: "Ecstasy"
Unpopular opinion, but I think this is one of the worst songs on this album. X is just speaking and it sounds like he put very little effort into his verse as he's basically just talking. I hate Noah Cyrus' singing on this song in general, and it seems like it's way too similar to pop or something I'd see on the radio, as it's mainly just Noah Cyrus singing. Don't like this one bit. It'd be better suited to be titled Noah Cyrus ft X if I'm being honest.

Track #11: "Kill My Vibe"
The start of this track is amazing; I love how upbeat and cheerful it sounds. Kinda sounds like something that Rocket League would use for their main menu music. Then, the first instance of a feature ruining a track appears. A guy that sounds like he lives in a crackshed and has been smoking for 50 years hops onto the track and, ironically, kills both my vibe and probably X's if he was alive. This would've been one of the best songs on this album if this "Tom G" crackhead wasn't on this. So sad to see it ruined like that.

Track #12: "Hot Gya!"
It's a... weird track. It's heavily inspired by Jamaican music. The first time I listened to it, I honestly thought one of the features was speaking in another language. Not a personal favorite and I think it's one of the worse tracks on this album. Auto-tune and a fake Jamaican accident do not go together, or at least they don't on this track. X's verse is pretty good though.

Track #13: "THE ONLY TIME I FEEL ALIVE"
I really, really, really like this track. Kinda hate X's mumble rapping in this though. It's a song that's sort of like X's older ones. Craig Xen really makes this track for me though. I love his delivery and everything he does on this. He's always a favorite of mine when he collabs with X.

Track #14: "the interlude that never ends"
Spoilers: it ends. It's an interlude and it sounds like something that would be in a movie sort of. Kinda nice, not something I'd consistently replay, though.

Track #15: "Daemons"
This track is an old one from when X first started making music. It's been censored, making it kinda sound weird. It's a darker track that talks about killing God and it was originally titled "who the fuck is god" and Kemba wasn't originally a feature. You'll be able to hear the verse where X goes into detail how he'd kill God if he ever met him. Kemba's verse is one of the most lyrical (and frankly amazing) on this entire album. One of the best features (if not the best feature) on the album for sure. He carried this album for sure. I like this one.

Track #16: "ATTENTION!"
I like this track a lot. It has a really nice beat and it's very, very catchy. It's not dark, X isn't really mumbling to the point where he was earlier. It's a nice track and it's a very replayable one. One of the better ones of this album for sure. (and it's actually finished!)

Track #17: "Eat It Up"
This track was one of the tracks Violet recommended for me to listen to since I didn't like this album when I first listened to it. It's an interesting one, to say the least. It's like "TAKE A STEP BACK" by X and Ski, except its only X. I like it sorta. It seems like he's just messing around with the lyrics, but I'm assuming this is an older track, which would make sense.

Track #18: "Voss"
This seems to be a track a lot of people like, and I can agree to that to an extent. X's verse is nice, seems to be a hype track. This is another track, however, that suffers the same fate as some others - the features kill the track. The feature on this track, Sauce Walka, gives a delivery that sounds awful. At the end of every sentence, he tries to pitch his voice up like X does when he says "ayy" except it fails terribly. The only thing I can compare it to is whenever your voice cracks and it makes that sort of high pitched noise that sounds funny. It's embarrassingly bad in my opinion and killed this track for me.

Track #19: "Royalty"
Personally, whenever I first heard this song, I hated it because of how it sounded. Whenever I listened to this the first time I played the entire album, however, I loved it so much. The chorus from Ky-Mani Marley (Bob Marley's son) is very nice to the ears when you listen to it and it's catchy. X comes through with an amazing verse. Stefflon Don's verse was pretty bad if I'm being honest. It didn't fit the song at all. The last verse from Vybz Kartel sounds like it's in another language due to his accident and cadence. If I didn't google the genius lyrics for this track to see who's verse was who's, I wouldn't have known that he was speaking English.

Track #20: "wanna grow old (i won't let go)"
This is a very melodic track that's kinda sad once you think about it because, obviously, X cannot grow old. The feature here fits perfectly and the track honestly is very beautiful. I like it a lot, very nice.

Track #21: "HEARTEATER"
This is my very close second favorite song on this track. It's so catchy, and the way X just sings and how the beat is so perfectly fit for this type of track. It's so catchy and I cannot stop myself from at least re-playing it at least once after I listen to it. The music video is a bit... odd though. I mean it's literally a girl who's supposed to be X's ex (I think) eating out some dude's organs and heart. Very graphic and disgusting.

Track #22: "NorthStar (Remix)"
I never heard the original version of this song, but after I heard this remix, I checked out the original version. This song is very reminiscent of X's old style of songwriting - very upbeat, energetic, and overall my type of music. I love the verse from Joyner as well. It fits the song as well, and it sounds just so nice. I really hated how multiple songs on this album were ruined by bad artists' guest verses, but this song wasn't, fortunately.

Track #23: "CHASE / glass shards"
This song is very trippy and so odd that it was made before X died. It literally describes X's death in detail. How someone stole his bag out of his car, how he was "all alone". X's verses sound so... different? It's a song with a feature that fits what this song is going for. The guy I'm talking about has a filter over his voice to make him sound more ominous, which worked. X then comes onto the track and it sounds like he's talking through a phone/walkie talkie for some reason.

Here's a quote from Genius which shows what I'm talking about when I say, "It literally describes X's death in detail":

What are you doing out in the middle of this field leaving your car?
I'm just not sure what he's thinking
He's getting back into his car, he's grabbed his bag
And from our vantage there's no one around him
You know, you wait for these things to end, but then you figure how it might wind up
He's completely alone
This is really starting to worry me, I gotta tell ya
I gotta tell ya

Pretty odd, yea? Anyways, it's a good track for what it's going for.

Track #24: "numb the pain"
It's another guitar track that sounds like X or whoever recorded it used a phone to capture the audio. Still nice and melodic though, I'd replay it.

Track #25: "ITS ALL FADING TO BLACK"
The last song we will ever see from X. (probably) It's kinda sad, and once that kicks in while you listen to the album, you may get sad or even cry. It's supposed to be a track that you use to part your ways with X, as he didn't make any music after this. The feature is very nice and fits perfectly. The song itself has the vibe of like an ending because technically, it is. The end to X's music as we know it and all we can do is just replay old stuff. Very sad.

MY OVERALL THOUGHTS OF THE ALBUM
It wasn't too bad. I like it better than 17 overall, but 17 had some good catchy songs that blew up that I'll always like. I don't like it better than Sad or Skins, however. Those just had better songs and didn't have features that killed the songs.

If those songs with the bad features removed the features, I'd like this album a lot more.

Overall, I give this album a 7.5/10.

Anyways, that was a lot of typing. I hope you enjoyed my review of this album.

Voss is popular because how catchy it is. like the verse is “WATER LIKE VOSS AYE UHH IM DRIPPING SAUCE” and just hype shit
