These are the highest quality “throwaways” I’ve seen since Kendrick dropped Untitled Unmastered. Tyler is a beast. His song writing is great, and his production is freaking amazing.
depends on what amazing means. hes basically amazing at beeing himself. but he so good at it that he is unable to hide it. so hes not what i would call a jack of all trades when it gets to producing....the things he does sound like him and no other. so no wonder justin bieber and other people dont want songs from tyler like earfquake or such. but regardless.....these are hq b side songs, by far not on the level of the kendrick untitled unmastered....but pretty damn solid
Genuinely one of the only b side records that I think are so good that they could've made the album. Tyler feels like he can do no wrong musically anymore
"Tyler feels like he can do no wrong musically anymore" you think HE feels this way, or you think he can do no wrong? What is he r@ped a chicken and then a puppy?
listen to What’s Your Pleasure: The Platinum Edition by Jessie Ware! I wish Melon talked more about those b-sides too - I know “Please” made his Top 50 Singles list
Listening to this made me realize how much Tyler has matured throughout the years especially on SORRY NOT SORRY. He was bold enough to realize and apologize to his family and friends that his work has gotten in the way of not being able to spend time with his loved ones, but at the same time not really feeling all that bad for where he is at right now. Tyler has evolved into this humble adult just living his life and hopefully will enter and take on a new era with us.
i do kinda have a similar mindset to him, through all the stupid shit i've done and the shit that's happened to me, i wouldn't change any of it cause i'm happy with where i am in this current moment in time, and i hope that'll be true years down the road, it's a comforting mentality to have.
@@isaacjones5687 one can be humble and brag at the same time. Tyler is humble in the sense that he knows why he's where he's at, what he can and can't do, and recognizes how important other people are to hid journey.

I also think the timing is good. Waiting a year or two seems a lot more interesting and likely to extend the life of the album than putting the deluxe out a month later
I always roll my eyes when artists dropped B sides/deluxe albums but Tyler has changed how I feel about them completely. The songs could have been their own album but they add depth to it. Sorry Not Sorry is the true closer of the project
Yea usually I don’t care for deluxe editions as well but this was really a treat. Most artist throwaways are just that but this all could’ve easily been a part of main album and keep the vibes going. As a long time fan it all really shows how much he’s progressed especially with the music video’s corresponding to each song and the ever connecting story that’s weaved in for those who are familiar
I think most of these bonus songs are actually better than the tracks on the original album, especially HEAVEN TO ME, but obviously there's that thinking of "well they don't really fit anywhere" so I'm glad he decided to release them because think of how many amazing tracks out there just get left behind
Honestly it’s so good and the last 6 years of Tyler has been so wonderful I purchased The Estate Sale vinyl even though I already have the non-deluxe version.
Personally, I do not believe "Sorry Not Sorry" is actually a leftover from the CMIYGL sessions. The self-reflection in the lyrics feels like it has to come after the most recent album cycle, and it's just too polished and too conceptually focused to be just a random track that didn't make it. Also, the 2 year delay since the album was released doesn't really make sense from a marketing standpoint if these songs had already been recorded - for reference, Kendrick released Untitled Unmastered only a year after TPAB, and that was a far more complete stand-alone project than The Estate Sale. I would guess that Sorry Not Sorry was recorded much more recently, but Tyler felt it wouldn't fit with his next project, and so he decided to package it with some other leftovers as a conclusion to this era of his catalogue.
I get that they’re meant to be leftovers, but it really feels like an EP that bookends the CMIYGL era with perspective and evolution that can only come with making some of the songs after the album’s success. It feels like a perfect set up for whatever he does next. I wish more deluxe editions were like this one.
The deluxe version encouraged me to go back to this album. My first few listens I didn’t really enjoy it but this time around I actually enjoy it more. The new tracks I loved on my first listen
"HEAVEN TO ME" uses a slowed down version of the instrumental from the 2006 John Legend Song "Heaven", which Kanye produced, just to avoid people's confusion. i'm sure Tyler got Kanye's approval, but Kanye didn't just recently create this beat for Tyler.
:) me too melon. A pleasant surprise, and I can’t get over the fact we’re STILL getting a new project. They did not listen to me about him 10+ years ago lol. The new tracks provide some wonderful context.
sorry not sorry's music video also really highlights the song, showing how he was writing in the styles of his past personas and apologizing on their behalf and showing where he's going next
In my personal opinion sorry not sorry was the best song out of the CMIYGL era. I was honestly shocked he left that off the album initially, but maybe he knew the video would have more impact between eras!
Amazing album, the songs are pretty much a perfect sequence to the original album. I loved the experience and personally think Tyler is one of the most unique and creative artists those days.
idk if it's because my mood's different from the time when the album came out but i was instantly in love with all the new songs which didn't quite happen with the songs previously released, tho they were good too
All those tracks are fire, normally not much into rap but Tyler is something different. Enjoyed listening to them for the first time on Fantano's twitch
I loved this project. There's a lot of vulnerability here, and cleverness, with great beats. There's a line where he says "white kids say I brag too much, black kids say it's inspiring, duality is tiring, my girl would kill me if she knew the things I was desiring, suppressing it, get it out the way, I put the sirens in" really hit me hard with the feels and the deep reflection
I don't think this is actually "leftovers" or "less quality songs that didn't make the cut". It is just an addition 2 years later, that's why it's good.
At this point, I think he just doesn't want his album to be more than 14 tracks so he skims it but he knows he has pure fireeeee in his hard drive so he finished them after the release
Fantano a tank, I'll say that much. Saw him in Gmod shows back in like 2011. He voiced dudes in the show. Fantano if youre reading - youre a tank 😤 youre wise and...I respect you
