(Go to 0:55 to skip the intro)
With TYRON, slowthai took an interesting approach as he split the album up into two distinct sides. The first side being more aggressive and high-energy, whereas the second side being much more introspective and lowkey.
What I find this album fails to do in the first half, is make the connection between the more hedonistic party animal lyrical content, and the underlying elements of destructive behaviour, and defence mechanisms that these lyrics are supposed to represent.
The purpose of the first side, of setting the stage for the realization and vulnerability displayed on the second half, isn’t clearly articulated and mainly just come off as bangers that showcase his wild side.
Once it gets to the second disc though, I think the album really starts to become more memorable.
TYRON has its heart, and its head honestly in the right place. It just lacks the lyrical precision in the first half to put it over the top.
This album has a lot more to offer than wild energy and cold-hearted bangers, but it unfortunately spends a good portion of the album trying to portray the duality of slowthai's complicated psyche in an unfocused-manner.
But still, this album has a lot of great qualities to it, especially on the second half of this album, which is much more engaging, from a lyrical and musical standpoint, which solidifies TYRON as certainly a worthwhile and admirable effort from slowthai.
