Telefone was an albumEvery song adds something special to the album and demonstrates Noname's incredible ability to tell compelling stories. Telefone was an album that I've listened to consistently for the last two years - with this new project, Noname manages to match, if not exceed, the bar this album left behind. This is not an album to be missed - a definite highlight of 2018.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Noname returns with (mostly playful) vengeance: "Y'all really thought a **** couldn’t rap, huh?" Room 25 is Noname's answer to that inquiry, without getting caught up in spelling it out for the listener (though, I don't think anybody was doubting her pen-skills after Telefone, anyway). The minimalist-yet-memorable elements, production-wise, in each song allow the listener to get lost in Noname's world for each song-length—and her lyrics complete the journey. There is both atmosphere and lyricism in each song—a rare juggling task for many rap artists—and, as a whole, the songs still manage to all go together perfectly.
   
   Noname continues to write with purpose on Room 25. Her new experiences since Telefone come through beautifully, pain and pleasure alike. She remains a poet with the pen and an MC and lyricist on the mic.
   
   I have only the one complaint that I'm never quite ready for "With You" to end.… Expand

Noname's voice perfectly compliments the chilled out beats and flow of the tracks.
   
   Although this is an impressively made album, it does feel like a lot of the tracks meld together and you get lost as to which track you are listening to. The similarities of the tracks sometimes works for artists, but with Noname, I think it takes away from her lyrical and techincal skill.… Expand

   Deeply inferior to Telefone, which makes it seem worse than it is by comparison.
   
   A poor blending of instrumental and vocal makes itDeeply inferior to Telefone, which makes it seem worse than it is by comparison.
   
   A poor blending of instrumental and vocal makes it flat-out hard to hear what's she's saying on certain tracks. Given that her vocal quality is such a vital part of her performance, this is deeply disappointing. When it comes to lyrical content, very little is added that wasn't more elegantly presented before, save a throughline of new-found fame and its impacts. So far, so predictably uninteresting.
   
   Stylistically Noname seems stretched too thin, in both directions. A great deal of the more complex verse is too quick and too complex - you can hear her struggling to finish each line before the next one swoops in. When she pares it down to a minimum, the opposite problem arises, with comical simplicity and empty repetition adding to the feel of an album half finished, ideas half-formed or simply regurgitated. I suspect the critical hype around Room 25 has more to do with critics missing the boat on Telefone, an indisputably superior work.
   
   Not to say that it's a bad album by any stretch. On the contrary, if this is your first Noname record I think you'll be utterly enamored. I personally think she's the greatest rapper going, with an ability to not only venture where her peers can't or won't, but also make that process seem inimitably cool. Everything is everything.… Expand

   I failed to find an answer when I asked myself if I will remember anything about this album when I finished listening to it.
