Double clear vinyl LP pressing with 12-panel poster-folder. Circles is the sixth and final studio album by Mac Miller. Conceived as a sister album to 2018's full length Swimming, the album was completed with the assistance of Jon Brion, with whom Miller worked on Swimming and had been working together on Circles at the time of his passing. While sonically distinctly different than it's predecessor, Circles features many of the hallmarks for which Swimming was critically-acclaimed upon it's release - Miller further realizing his singing voice in addition to rapping, live instrumentation and earnest, confessional lyrical content. Listeners will hear shades of some of the album's influences in it's songs, from the T-Rex guitar tone of "Surf" to the Plastic Ono Band-era John Lennon feel of it's production and the inspired cover of Arthur Lee's 1972 single "Everybody's Gotta Live." It's a momentous final entry into the discography of an artist that remains at the center of reimagining the limits of rap.

Customer Reviews
I liked it
Beautiful packaging and artwork to accompany one of the most amazing albums of a generation. No matter what genre you’re into if you like great songs and a relaxed vibe, you’ll enjoy every moment of this. I’ve loved Mac from the beginning of his career, early mixtapes and freestyles, and watched him flourish with every project he put out, finishing with this to sadly cap off a career and soul that will never be forgotten. RIP.
I am a huge Mac miller fan and have been for years.. when I saw this vinyl I could not resist. I pre-ordered it and waited months until dec. 18th when it was released. The album is in beautiful condition, there are 2 records for Swimming and 2 records for Circles. Couple of bonus tracks. It is absolutely beautiful included is a photo book with pictures of Mac in the studio. I will seriously treasure this for the rest of my life. It was worth every penny to have this forever.
There's two ways to review this. One being the actual music/album itself. I'm assuming if you're looking at the vinyl version you know if you like the music, so I won't write about that.
With special 'color' albums (or in this case clear) I worry they sacrifice sound quality for novelty. They didn't here. They wisely pressed two records so the sound quality is on point. A must have for any Mac Miller fan
Is Hip-Hop crooner a thing? I feel like Mac made it a thing. He's been moving away from the frat rap for quite awhile so fans won't be surprised on the direction but what people will notice is how delicate and sparse the sound is. Not only compared to his own body of work but compared to most of the sonic-zeitgeist. Lyrically he seams at peace with his struggles but not defeated. It's actually a really beautiful, open and raw album.
