The Mac Miller Faces Reissue Is Great 

And he did it all without a drake feature🤷‍♂️

One of the things that should be noted with Faces is that at the time Mac was in a REALLY dark period in his life. For all intents and purposes this was supposed to be his final album because he anticipated dying not too long after Faces would be released. Which really goes to show based on the lyricism and the way this album is organized. I feel like Faces has aged so well because it also doubled as a epilogue to Mac's life.

i’m so glad they are respecting miller’s legacy and actually releasing stuff that he made and not vulturing off him

One of the greatest mixtapes of all time, PERIOD.

The three track run Happy Birthday, Wedding and Funeral is legendary

Seeing Anthony rate anything Mac Miller related positive gives me the biggest dopamine rushes

I'm honestly so happy this grew on him, hoping a certain 2018 mac project also did

if i was expecting anything it definitely wasn’t an updated score, glad you’ve come around a bit more melon

Shocked at how many people were not aware of "Faces". And this mixtape doesn't sound like a mixtape, it should be an official album, the production on Faces is flawless.

So many things that he's created, but this one here might be my favorite.

It’s lovely to see that Mac’s estate is taking care of his work and they respect the fans too instead of the usual money grab that you see with artists after their passing.

I think this is Mac’s best album, as it has the rich kind of production you’d find in Swimming or Circles with some of the best bars he’s ever laid on any tracks.

I have so much respect for melon for admitting he was not really right

I remember Anthony passing a lot of Macs material from this era as just stoner rap. He didn’t say it was bad or anything. Just don’t think he fully understood Mac at the time. I’m glad he’s realized the artistry and vision he’s always had. A little sad it’s taken him passing for it to happen, but his music was always so much more than just drugged out raps. Still need a Swimming redux.

This just feels more personal than circles does because of how raw it is. This is a GOATED mixtape.

i think it’s time where we get a updated review on swimming and divine feminine

Sucks he isn't with us anymore. R.I.P Mac

I can now die happy knowing he officially gave this an 8

Mac Miller's posthumous treatment has been the best out of all of the young artists to tragically pass. X's was obviously god awful. Pop Smoke's *was* good with SFTSAFTM but then Faith left a bad taste in my mouth. Juice's has been decent/good for the most part. Kinda nervous to see what they do with Von. Posthumous releases are a risky business

Sad they couldn’t get those Gummo samples cleared :( but happy they kept Mac’s vision intact :)

"Yeah" is a masterpiece for a bonus track, for me one of the best mixtapes of the decade🥺

I forgot how funny this mixtape gets sometimes, like with some of the adlibs and just some of the rhymes Mac comes up with are just hilarious Just an overall good album

Faces was actually a very good project very underrated

circles is one of the greatest posthumous albums out there, so glad they're preserving his legacy

They really put a lot of thought and care into this re-release. The way that Grand Finale transitions into Yeah (Bonus) is incredible. EASILY my two favourite tracks on the entire project.

This album pulled me out of the darkest place I've ever been in life. I worked at a olive garden and had to do 5 am shifts once a week moping and vacuuming the dining room and lobby area. The entire time this album was on in my headphones not only helping me get the job done but helping me internally. Hearing my emotions being put into words made me feel like he was talking to me from the afterlife. Ik that's corny but I got no one to talk to about anything going on in my head. But when Mac speaks it's like he already knows and is there for me. I can't thank this man enough and I wish he was still here.

Maybe Austen thought the "Walking like Herschel" line was a Walking Dead reference? Because it's definitely a reference to Herschel Walker, one of the greatest and most famous running backs of all time, don't think you can say it's a reference that can only be made in the early 2010s.

Got into Mac in 2010 when he dropped KIDS, his debut album didn't do much for me but Macadelic got me hooked again. Everything after was mindblowing-amazing, glad Fantano looked at this a little different.

I've had this mixtape downloaded for a long time but after Mac's death I started going back through his discography on some albums/songs I skipped over or didn't dig into. I think a lot of his music has aged really well from KIDS to the posthumous Circles. I feel like the music he was making at the end of his life was the best and most realized in terms of an original artistic style for Mac. Anyways the livestream they did to commemorate this project had stellar visuals and I was blown away by it so I have been spinning this one really for the first time actively listening to it. I had no idea how great this entire project is from start to finish. I love the videos of Mac playing piano and his Tiny Desk Concert is great. When he first popped on the scene with KIDS I was very stoked on his music and over the years before he died I mostly lost touch with his music aside from a few songs like Dang! featuring Anderson .Paak which is a MF hit for Mac AND Cheeky Andy. I wish I had paid more attention over the years but once he died I really saw all the appreciation from the community and realized what a role he played in early online music and rap at large. I wish he was still around as I always found him to be a lighthearted thinker. So many artists including his contemporaries new & old in rap over the past few years it feels so odd to know how many are dead. I never thought Mac would go. Listening to Faces though I really understand the depths of his experimentation which lead to the hellish disease of addiction. Mac lived a good life and touched so many with his music and I'm glad he left behind great music and it seems the people handling his memory are doing a good job so far. RIP Mac. Forever kicking incredibly dope sh*t!

So glad that the 6/10 has been upped to a much more deserving 8/10. One of my favorite mixtapes of all time. I love that Mac Miller's estate has respect for his artistry and legacy because some of these estates really milk artists dry and I hate that. First XXX, then Pop Smoke with Faith and its looking like JuiceWRLD could also be added to that list. Even before those 3 its important to remember the milking of 2Pac. To see an estate be so careful to preserve the artists legacy and help bring previously existing mixtapes onto streaming rather than pull a bunch of mediocre tracks out of the vault and just kind of throw them at the wall hoping one sticks is very refreshing.

I was just nodding my head intensively and clapping from time to time watching this review. I'm so glad this album was re-released the way it was. I agree with everything you say. I couldn't have worded it better. This album is so hauntingly raw, it provides a glimpse into macs unfiltered thoughts and emotions. All of that expressed through music, presented to us for free, all those years ago. Mac is truly timeless. 92 til infinity. Thank you for uploading, it really warmed my heart to see someone honor this mixtape and mac as it should be honored. I'm beyond thankful for everyone who made this re-release possible. It really does him justice. Like you said, it fits in seamlessly with music contemporarily created, and i'm sure it will be like that for forever. It's fucking timeless. I was and still am devastated that we lost Mac, but now i realize we didn't lose him. He's very much here. And we need him, more than ever. Faces is brutally honest, and while many of us would want to look away from what it truly means, we shouldn't. It's time to wake up. This is reality, this is what happens, not only to mac. To many of us struggling. Mac is right here, for all of us to learn from. I see faces re-entering the charts right now as some (very much needed) fresh air. Ice cold. Mr Miller is here to show you some very, very real music. Now it's time to listen. And learn. I don't really know what i'm saying at this point so imma stop writing lmao but, i wish everyone to walk in light. and when you need a little help, to absorb all that wonderful energy captured in his music, music that he proceeds to give us and we'll never have to do without. Immortalized, here before our eyes. Thank you. ps: "Yeah" is the perfect addition to this album to me. What a note to end this masterpiece on. It's been on repeat since the re-release and it will be for a long time. The whole thing.

"Forever I melt, and float away like waves in the ocean." I love Faces and this release was an honor to his legacy. The production / mixing quality is incredible. It's so great to hear Mac come through in such clean and clear quality.

Found this mixtape going through Mac’s discography, maybe 5 years ago now, and it shook me to the core. Easily my favorite project by him. The raw, heavy emotion of it just really stuck out in music, especially the rap I was listening to at the time. So glad I could finally buy it.

Honestly, I think the beats Mac did specifically on this album are very underrated in terms of Larry Fisherman's performances overall...it's literal top tier production. Mac was absolutely insane on the boards, instrumentally but also good with software, I feel casuals don't give it enough respect.

Man, I remember waiting for the email to download this tape. Happy it's abled to be streamed now. miss you Mac!

I really slept on this tape back in the day. Found myself listening to it earlier this year and found I could relate more and now since it dropped again I've been listening nonstop.

Macs creativity and uniqueness was really taken for granted, his legacy will always be one of the greatest imo.

the Herschel Walker line shoutout placing the mixtape squarely in 2014 is so funny now that he's in the race for a Senate seat in Georgia. It really could have been a 2022 tape

Faces is my favorite music project of all time. It got me through some really hard times in college. RIP to a great man and a legend.

Awesome seeing Mac get the love he deserves on this project.

This tape was so slept on, a lot of Mac fans dropped off in 2014/2015. I kind of get it too, this tape was strange to hear for the first time. It took me 2 years to recognize that it was an absolute masterpiece. I’m glad it’s finally getting the attention that it deserved, although I do remember being very concerned for him because of the dark lyrics. RIP Mac

Seeing how much you had to say about the album, I'm kinda disappointed you didn't do a redux. Still happy you talked about it but would've been cool to see a number rating

The OG faces is raw an uncut which gives it that hit, they had to completely redo the diablo beat due to the duke Ellington in a sentimental mood sample not being approved

I’m glad you got the review right this time around

A project so ahead of its time that when its rereleased it just fits.

UPDATE YOUR THOUGHTS ON SWIMMING

Each time I listen to Diablo is like the first time I heard it 7 years ago. I love it

Man, when you talked about how seamless he would fit over the new wave of introspective hip hop i got excited and then remembered he's gone :(

It's only a matter of time until he gives Swimming an 8/10

I have an idea that this re-issue was hard on his family. IMO it was a tasteful move for his legacy, although the darkness and references on this mixtape may be very sad to hear for ones closest to Mac. Specially being that it dropped on Mother’s Day. ❤️

Not to mention how fantastic the cover is for this mixtape.

The organization of the album was top tier, I love how his last 3 albums embody his view on the circles of life in a different way absolutely beautiful and morbid

It makes me feel good knowing soo many people still bump Mack. I've never seen support for an artist Posthumous like this. And I'm glad he's the one we chose.

I have been LOVING this and listening to it nonstop 👌 Very glad to be able to enjoy Mac's discography. Favorite tracks have been Therapy, Diablo, Happy Birthday, Here We Go, but i just feel so comfortable with the whole mixtape. God bless Mac, definitely give this a listen if you haven't already 🙏

I love this mixtape first time I listened to it was about a year after Mac passed and it truly felt like Mac was talking to me from beyond

this tape’s reissue has strongly reminded me of why it’s one of my favorites ever.

i found mac literally like 6 months ago and hes already one of my favorite artists of all time

This project was ahead of his time. absolutely great and super sharp project.

That thumbalina hook is wild to listen to riding around in the car. I enjoy the new production so much more than I did originally. The extra reverb and clarity just makes it almost sparkle.

at the time of its release, faces kind of showed the paths mac would take on future projects. when i listen to this again, i find myself wondering how many of these styles he could have further explored. its incredible how a large mainstream artist released clearly jazz influenced songs like Friends, Happy Birthday or Colors And Shapes, and managed to show it to a large mainstream audience.

Yeah was such a beautiful track for me especially first listen I do t exactly know why but I was just over come with so much emotion and the song was extremely moving for me. Beautiful addition to the mixtape and I’m so happy it’s finally rereleased on streaming platforms.

Mac was the first rapper I’ve ever seen live and his music has been apart of my life since I started getting into music. I miss him so much 😢

I love this mixtape so much

I can’t listen to this without crying “Doing drugs is just a war with boredom but they sure to get me” And “Oh this lonley hell of mine never was a better chance to better myself” Literally make me sob

I’m so happy you rerated it in the description

Always thought you massively underrated this mixtape! Faces is great

i miss mac so much man. he was such a talented artist. really one of the greatest artists to do it

" Yeah " clearly blowed my mind. What a pleasure to discover this mixtape in 2021. RIP Mac

Walk-in like Hershel is a reference to Hershel Walker, legendary running back & Heisman trophy winner.

I remember downloading this tape on DatPiff, always thought it was a gem of a project

I love this thing, it's a pleasure to hear this man when ever he puts out somthing new or rereleased

Picked it up last week on vinyl, incredible record.

Melon, we deserve a REDUX of Swimming now that you have seen even more of Mac's music, maybe you'll change your opinion

I listen to it for the first time when it got released that Friday and man I was not disappointed 🔥

Hopefully this means we will see some other mixtapes and obscure projects of Mac's released formally

Faces finally getting its (invisible) yellow flannel.

Rain with vince staples is one of my favourite songs ever.

They hate when you’re a live and love you when you’re dead.

Man I can’t really believe its been 7 years since this came out. I used to bump this so much Junior year of high school and it STILL sounds fresh. So much has happened since then and It really is so trash that Mac isn’t here with us in the flesh, its still surreal to me. I really miss him

Honestly, thank you melon. The respect that you’ve shown this guy is admirable. He was my favorite artist since watching movies and I’m glad more people get to here one of his best works now

the fact that Mac was only 22 when he realeased faces is no other than insane

This is my favorite Mac piece. Use to sit in the basement high as shit with the homies blasting it. I always go back to it. It never gets old.

faces the best mixtape ever

ahh so any album that gets a 6 will get an 8 in redux version, now i get it thanks melon

Funeral gave me goosebumps when I first heard it and it only intensified with this re release rip Mac you are truly missed

glad you liked it melon, i really liked the new mixing and the new track too

Liked this album the first time. I heard it. It has a special place in my heart. We miss you bro🎉

I just want a formal reissue of the Delusional Thomas mixtape.

I can’t wait for my vinyl to show up. I’ll just set it on the table and lay on I an couch and consume it all. I miss Mac.

It’s a rough album to digest if you really listen to it. It’s hard to ignore the honesty. And can serve as a pretty strong warning for those that chose to go down that path... So truthful it seems genius.

I’ve known about Anthony and seen his videos for so so long but have never subscribed but now that I am older and wiser I can understand a lot more and turns out I agree a lot more than I ever thought I would with him. But today my friend, is the day! You have earned a new subscriber!

Faces is Hunter S Thompson esque

Im very friken happy that Faces got an official release after 7 years since it's creation. Its the mixtape that made me a Mac Fan for life. However, I am a little bummed out that non of the other songs from the Faces Sessions got released except for "Yeah" (which was originally called "8:21am"). I would have loved for other cut Faces songs like "Garden Snakes" to finally be out for the public. Granted, I have a fat collection of these unreleased Mac songs, but I would still like for these songs to get officially released. Hopefully they will be in the future. But only time will tell.

still my favourite mac miller project by far. rest in peace, mac.

Fantano: so what did you think about the release of faces? Did you love it, did you leave it, are you nothin without it?

have a faces poster on my wall and i have a swimming tattoo on my ribs. My favorite artist of all time.

It really is great. So thankful it was released to streaming services and people who haven’t heard it love it too. Going for 3rd on billboard week 1 🔥

Faces is really an amazing mixtape and I think its because everyone who loves it relates very much to it and it is just good music that you can hear came from a deep place and people who hate Mac Miller would enjoy some of these tracks if not all of them RIP Mac❤️

I would love for them to do this with Macadelic. I really really enjoyed that project.

Best mixtape ever!
