In this ‘Club Ambition’ clip, host SOUND dives into Lil Uzi Vert’s latest album, delivering a candid review of the long-awaited project. With approximately 15 tracks and collaborations like the unexpected feature from Big Time Rush, the album brought plenty of surprises—but not all of them were welcomed by SOUND.
The album rolls out with tracks such as “We Good,” “Light Year,” “Meteor Man,” “Pears In The Mars,” and “The Rush,” among others. SOUND notes that while there’s a consistent attempt to weave in the alien and “Eternal Atake” theme, the execution is disjointed, particularly with the theme track “Lil Uzi Vert is a one” being oddly placed at the end of the album.
SOUND doesn’t hold back on his critiques, calling this Lil Uzi Vert’s “worst album by a landslide.” Production issues top his list of complaints, with noticeable mixing and mastering flaws and an overuse of distortion, particularly in key tracks. He describes the album as feeling scattered, with inconsistent thematic elements that weaken the overall experience.
Despite the criticisms, SOUND acknowledges a handful of tracks as the highlights. Songs like “Space High,” “Conceited,” “Chill B,” “Pears in the Mars,” “We Good,” “Mr Chow,” and “Lift Them Up” make the cut as the album’s stronger moments, offering fans a glimpse of the Lil Uzi Vert they anticipated.
After a four-year wait, SOUND expresses a sense of disappointment with the album, particularly given that other artists this year—such as Playboi Carti, Tyler, the Creator, and Future—have put out projects that feel more polished and intentional. SOUND also remarks that the album may struggle to stay in listeners’ minds, suggesting it lacks the staying power of Uzi’s previous work. Notably, he questions the absence of rumored collaborations, such as a Drake feature, which fans had eagerly anticipated.
Ultimately, SOUND recommends Lil Uzi Vert consider releasing a deluxe version or new material to deliver the impact fans were hoping for with this album.
