Childish Gambino - Atavista ALBUM REVIEW (3.15.20 REDUX)

Atavista's newfound clarity reveals some shortcomings on the songwriting front, but it's definitely a more enjoyable experience than the 2020 version.

CHILDISH GAMBINO - ATAVISTA / 2024 / RCA / PSYCHEDELIC SOUL, FUNK, ALTERNATIVE HIP HOP

6/10

Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?

[bronzewolf]

If he had called this Retitled Remastered you would have given it at least an 8

[MBk]

we did it, we found an album cover whiter than Fantano himself

[Hi-fdcw]

Can’t believe that Childish Gambino would completely rip off Childish Gambino’s album, 3.15.20

[milos]

"Ata la vista, baby" So true, melon. Great Review.

[DJDannyOJ]

Fantano is just upset he didn't get a cameo in Atlanta

[imaginedragons]

Very proud of Donald for getting the very first 31520/10 from melon!

[giacomoc-unuj]

awaken my love getting a 7/10, this is america being the best single of 2018 and atavista getting the sufficiency completes the holy rare trinity of "fantano being actually nice to childish gambino's music"

[Ozdestro]

No way you didn’t give it a 10, the album cover is literally everywhere on your flannel!

[greyscale]

if the cover had the words ‘the beatles’ on it, you would’ve given it a 10

[oh_banana]

I like Fantano reexperiencing his own review during a redux

[DreamingNousagi]

the old version of To Be Hunted will be remembered

[juandanielrodriguezvasquez]

Human Sacrifice not in best tracks is insane, also Final Church one of the best outro songs, fantastic vocals from Donald

[Ozdestro]

Melon would’ve given it a 10/10 if it was called: “To At A Vista”.

[scottbrayton]

ok so i started out thinking you underrated this album but then i realized you gave this a BETTER SCORE than Because the Internet and now im mad about that review again

[lollysmolly]

Changing the title of every track from mere numbers to actual titles alone is a big improvement on the album. I literally had to either sit through the album all the way to the end just to listen to my fav cuts or literally jot them down on my notepad or something because I just couldn't recall what every track sounded like just off their titles which were nothing but an menagerie of numbers.

[thewhatness]

The instrumentals on "To Be Hunted" (previously "19.10") sound so drowned out. I am happy that some of the harsh noise extended outros were trimmed, but I'm sad the 12.38 into 19.10 transition is gone. Human Sacrifice is a great addition, however.

[Ozdestro]

I’m so happy Childish Gambino joined the Drake VS Kendrick feud and exposed both of them, who would’ve ever thought Kendrick cheated on J. Cole…

[qorson]

Glad that everyone can appreciate Final Church. Even in the og mix, i bumped that shit constantly.

[sirtorchington]

I got so into 3.15.20 it helped me a lot thru early pandemic, and my first listen of this one I liked the old rougher mix and tran-sitions better, but I think it'll grow on me. Great songs on here either way

[sakpie]

i personally fucking loved this album. it's concise, energetic, the songs have meaning, and the sound is really unique. I had a fun time listening to each song and I never got bored or tired of the vibe.
