On opener “Doors,” Miller briefly touches on his time out of the limelight professing, “Didn’t mean to cause you pain, I just needed to escape” with Tyler, The Creator’s typically beautiful production providing a perfect backdrop. These experiences have obviously inspired Miller’s newfound honesty, and his battle scars are etched all over the album’s 17 songs (as well as its title). In an enlightening interview with Grantland, he delved into his struggles with addiction and his time spent living with Rick Rubin in an attempt to get clean. This probably stems from Miller’s state of mind over the past couple of years. The result is an album that is significantly more cohesive and interesting than anything that has come before. On lead single “100 Grandkids” he proclaims, “I may be a little arrogant, I’m aware of it/I know I got a problem, I’mma take care of it” over bouncing production, and this honesty is something that continues throughout. Now, the former WILD headliner is back with his third and best album, “GO:OD AM.” For the first time, it feels like we are getting to know who Miller really is beneath the party- and stoner-guy personas. For all their merits though, both struggled to truly captivate and inspire. That year he released his second album, “Watching Movies with the Sound Off,” a vast improvement upon his earlier work, and followed this up with the criminally underrated “Faces” mixtape last year. Since the turn of 2013, however, Miller has undergone a vast stylistic change, and he’s all the better for it. Back then, he was the party rapper who made dreadful songs about the man who is going to “make America great again.”

When he first burst into the mainstream with his 2010 mixtape, “K.I.D.S,” it was a very different Mac Miller from the one we are witnessing today.
