Anyone that knows me would know that my favorite artist in the entire world is Austin Richard Post, aka Post Malone. Not only does his music bring up every emotion in the world, but he is also a very selfless man who loves all of his fans. He makes sure that they know how important we all are to him after every song that he performs. I have seen him live on four separate occasions and I am able to say that he doesn’t ever disappoint, and the concerts were worth every penny. On July 18th of this year, Post Malone released his 5th studio album and I am going to tell you my exact thoughts on it as well as my ranking of the songs.
Post Malone talked about him playing guitar on every track 2 months prior to the album’s release, only making me more excited for it. “Stay” off the “Beerbongs and Bentleys” album is one of my favorite songs from him and I knew that if any of the songs were as impressive as that, the album would be a huge success. Also, the album has no features, making the album title of “Austin” much more fitting. Most of the songs talk about Post Malone’s feelings, how he has been overcoming his addiction to alcohol over the last few years, and how it has affected him. Some of the songs really hit so hard that they make you cry! It makes you really realize how much he has gone through and make you feel really proud of how far he has come, especially with the birth of his baby girl recently. I really believe it is a “no skips” album that was very hard to make a ranking list for, as they are all so amazing. I think that even if you don’t listen to Post Malone often, you will enjoy this album a whole lot. Here is the list that I have come up with, even though they are all number one in my book!
