For all their merits though, both struggled to truly captivate and inspire. 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. 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. ![]() The result is an album that is significantly more cohesive and interesting than anything that has come before. This probably stems from Miller’s state of mind over the past couple of years. 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. ![]() 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). 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. “ROS” plays out as a love letter to his long-term partner and what they have been thorough over the last two years, supported by DJ Dahi’s marvellous beat, which is as much Chilly Gonzales as it is DJ Mustard. It must also be said that, to Miller’s credit, his choice of collaborators here are absolutely spot-on.
