The First Symphony was recorded in mono at the same sessions that gave us the Eroica. Its inexorable opening tread is sufficiently varied metrically to generate an accumulation of tension, the symphony being seen as an absorbing arc. Both Rodziński and Bruno Walter had made earlier studio recordings of the work in New York by this time and Markevitch’s authority is such that his reading is hardly less compelling. The Fourth Symphony is a Lamoureux recording in stereo though with a greater spread of sonics comes a slight blunting of impact.

The album received a GRAMMY Award for “Best Rap Album” at the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards. This choice stirred up some controversy, as some believed that the album should not be considered a rap album and the nomination was racially motivated.

Music journalists have noted that Igor continues to build on the hip hop and neo soul sound established in Flower Boy, while also incorporating R&B and funk influences. Critics have noted the album's use of synthesizers and low-mixed vocals. Thematically, Igor follows a narrative of a love triangle between the titular character and his male love interest. The album employs the " Igor" literary archetype to explore themes associated with love, such as heartbreak, loss, and jealousy. THE BEST ALBUM IVE EVER HEARD This album is home to my favorite instrumentals of any album. Even if we completely ignore every perfect vocal performance, or any story or conceptual additions to this album it would still likely be in my top 10 of all time. The weird and hazy, yet incredibly boppy and fun synths so perfectly blend with the perfect bass tone and lines. When the synths enter a wavy dream of perfectness, bobbing up and down like a tsunami heading towards a town, flying high, reaching the sky, before crashing down and delivering just the best sounds I've ever heard, it's amazing. I wouldn't change any part of this album, it is all simply magnificent. I genuinely couldn't speak the first time I finished this record., it was that good. I highly recommend listening to the album before reading my song by song review of this work of art. Rowan5215 (May 21, 2019). "Review: Tyler the Creator – IGOR". Sputnikmusic.

Igor by Tyler, the Creator (Album, Neo-Soul): Reviews Igor by Tyler, the Creator (Album, Neo-Soul): Reviews

Tyler's best What can I say, this is Tyler's best. Nothing he has done has been close to how amazing Igor is. It is so much different then what he did before and it was still amazing. The beats and lyrics show a story and you can feel every emotion that he is having. It feels like he was putting exactly what he was feeling into this album. On songs like EARFQUAKE he really shows how much sadness he is feeling while there are songs like WHATS GOOD and NEW MAGIC WAND where he is almost trying to act like he does not care. These songs acted more like songs from his past with more rapping and harder instrumentals but they still perfectly fit the vibe of the album. While Flowerboy was kind of close to this no one saw what he was going to do. He changed everything that he had done before and it was for the good. Every song on here has a place even songs like RUNNING OUT OF TIME which I don't even really like that much (reason for score). This truly is his best and even listening to the beats by themselves would make you think it.

Recording Locations: Jesus-Christus-Kirche, Berlin, Germany, 1–4 December 1953; Salle de la Mutualité, Paris, France, 9, 15 December 1959*mono recording Not only a bold choice as an opener, being an instrumental, but also deeply layered and expertly produced. The section where the drums drop out and the vocals harmonise over the piano chords hits so hard, the voices almost meld into each other and they’re such a perfect intro to the soul elements, along with the closing fuzzy synth section, which in turn introduces the albums more distorted elements.
