Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
2018 - The Toronto singer and rapper’s second album seeks immortality, but it's just a record full of crude imitations of every remotely bankable contemporary R&B or rap song.
-
Hot New Hip Hop
2018 - The project’s overall production is cohesive and tight.
-
The Guardian
2018 - Lanez ultimately doesn’t pass the Turing test, and his jack-of-all-trades versatility leaves him the master of none.
-
The 405
2018 - Arriving less than two years after his major label debut, Memories Don't Die feels like everything his debut should have been. Slicing off the fat, Lanez lets the music speak for itself.
-
Exclaim!
2018 - Tory Lanez manages to inject Memories Don't Die with a few quality tracks, but overall it misses the mark on classic appeal.
-
InspirEnrich
2018 - All in all, it’s a good album but I didn’t finish listening to it feeling blown away like the last time around.
-
Uproxx
2018 - Memories Don’t Die earns a dubious distinction: Despite itself, it’s actually the Drake album we’ve all almost wanted.
-
Genius
2018 - A lavishly-produced album with a high level of replay value–whether it’s a summery banger, tory flexing his rap and story-telling skills or laid back tracks for a late night vibe – while maintaining a high quality from the start to the very last track.
-
Salute Magazine
2018 - Tory Lanez approached this album carefully, with reservation, taking time to perfect each track and it really shows.
-
The Ratings Game
2018 - In my opinion, “Memories Don’t Die” sounds like a really good compilation album.
-
Hot 99.1
2018 - All around this album is Absolutely incredible ya'll if you guys haven't heard it I really Suggest you do so here's the link to this album of the year contender.
-
The Musical Hype
2018 - Tory Lanez shows improvement on ‘Memories Don’t Die,’ but still suffers from a lack of artistic distinction and overplaying clichés.
-
Alt Wire
2018 - MEMORIES DON’T DIE is an 18-track album filled with deep lyrics, hardcore rap verses, un-interesting freaky songs, an outstanding production and a glass half full of melodies.
-
Amino
2018 - If he didn’t have those very questionable tracks we’d be talking about this album for yearsss.
-
The Barber's Chair
2018 - Either way it goes, he’s stepped up a lot from his debut album and is solidifying himself into this music regardless of what the people got to say about him.
-
KickBackz
2018 - Overall I recommend due to Tory’s storytelling, the feelings, and him being one of my personal favorites.
-
The Fresh Committee
2018 - This particular batch happens to be as average as they come.
-
MVMT
2018 - Tory covers all ground and leaves no stone unturned by expressing his innermost deepest feelings and thought
-
SmatMedia
2018 - He is getting out of his comfort zone bit by bit and it just sounds good. He really needs to stop sounding like other rappers though, just sayin’.
-
Eclectic Eric
2018 - The overall flow and transition of the album is cohesive and takes you from song to song with ease.
-
Wrongmog
2018 - But Lanez ultimately doesn’t pass the Turing test, and his jack-of-all-trades versatility leaves him the master of none.
-
Tawanda Gona
2018 - When I hear Tory Lanez music I'm not really inspired to do anything new, but I am inspired to put effort into things I've done a thousand times before.
-
Bishop's Blog
2018 - “Memories Don’t Die” shows growth and is perhaps what the debut should’ve been, but nevertheless, he “ain’t going backwards” and he’ll be here “until the story over like there’s no more chapters.”
