POST MALONE Vinyl & CDs

Review: ***B-STOCK: Sleeve damaged but otherwise in excellent condition***


Post Malone's Twelve Carat Toothache is said to be his 'sobering comedown.' It is the fourth album from the US rapper who is as well known for his face tattoos and various different aces as he is his work in the field of rap and hip hop. Here he gets more honest than ever with an intimate look at his life and plenty of shared struggles. Love and booze are big and reoccurring features - as are, however unlikely it may seem, the folk outfit Fleet Foxes who Post has cited as one of his musical heroes. In riding a middle ground between hip-hop and alt-pop, Malone strikes gold here.

Review: Earlier this year, Post Malone set a new record by notching up more "diamond"-certified singles - in the United States, at least - than any other artist. The rapper and singer celebrated this fantastic feat (which is all the more remarkable given that it has only taken him seven years and four albums) by releasing his first compilation. This expanded, double-disc deluxe edition adds to the "diamond-heavy" first disc, which boasts all his ground-breaking singles since 2016, with a bonus disc containing other favourites plucked from all four of his studio albums to date. Heavy on guest appearances (Dolla $ign, The Weeknd, Doja Cat, Young Thug and Ozzy Osbourne all feature) and produced by some real heavyweights, it's an indispensable collection of chart-bothering, 21st century hip-hop hits.

Review: Post Malone, or Postie to his hardcore fans, titled this most recent album in reference to his real name, Austin Post, which gives you an idea about the extra vulnerability and honesty of the music. He plays guitar on every single track and says it made the record the most challenging yet rewarding of his career to work on. Early singles 'Mourning' and 'Chemical' have been big with fans and newcomers alike and his fifth album overall, which is also one of 2023's most anticipated, builds on and intensifies the sound of his last outing, Twelve Carat Toothache, from 2022. This is a special milky clear vinyl version of one of the most anticipated records of the year.

Review: Post Malone, known to his ardent fan base as 'Postie', actually nods to his real name Austin Post with the title of his latest record. It's an honest one from the much-loved American rapper who has had his fair share of adversities to overcome on his way to the top and whilst being there the last few years. Early singles 'Mourning' and 'Chemical' have been big with fans and newcomers alike and his fifth album overall, which is also one of 2023's most anticipated, builds on and intensifies the sound of his last outing, Twelve Carat Toothache, from 2022. He plays guitar on every single track and says it made the record the most challenging yet rewarding of his career to work on.

Review: Post Malone's new album Austin is a nod to his real name - Austin Post, which immediately suggested the music in it will be more honest and vulnerable than ever before. It is his fifth album overall and one of 2023's most anticipated as the famously face-tattooed rapper builds on and intensifies the sound of his fourth studio album, Twelve Carat Toothache, from last year. He plays guitar on every single track and says it made the record the most challenging yet rewarding of his career to work on. Early singles 'Mourning' and 'Chemical' have already proven big hits with fans.
