NTTR - No Time to Review

Balloonerism , released on January 17, 2025, coinciding with what would have been Mac Miller's 33rd birthday, is his second posthumous album. Originally recorded between 2013 and 2014, the album was shelved in favor of other projects. The 14-track collection features collaborations with Thundercat, SZA, and Ashley All Day. Critics have noted its airy, experimental nature, blending neo-soul and jazz elements with dreamy, at times disjointed, compositions. Lyrically, Miller reflects on themes of death, money, and nostalgia for childhood. The lead single, "5 Dollar Pony Rides," stands out for its introspective lyrics and engaging rhythm. While some tracks may feel less essential, the album offers fans a cherished glimpse into Miller's creative process during that period.
