Lil Peep's Come Over When You're Sober Part II Is Finally Here!
Apple Music

Emo SoundCloud rapper Lil Peep (Gustav Ahr) has finally released the second part of his Come Over When You're Sober album. The first part of this album was released last year before the rapper's untimely death due to a Fentanyl overdose, leaving the second part of the album up to his record label and producer Smokeasac to finish. Lil Peep left behind close family and friends, while also creating numerous controversies surrounding his music. From fans criticizing the new music that is released by his estate, to the break up of his group Gothboiclique, life hasn't been the same since he passed.

Come Over When You're Sober Part II starts with the track "Broken Smile" and is one of the better songs on this album. The song lasts for about four minutes and incorporates different lo-fi elements of hip hop, blended with emo lyrics. This song's lyrics reflect being in love with a "girl with a broken smile" and giving everything to them. The production on this song is a little much at certain points, but it eventually leads into the next track "Runaway".

Track two "Runaway" is pretty self-explanatory in that Peep raps about wanting to leave the area he's in because "everybody so fake I swear". I enjoyed how the previous song led into this track and I really enjoyed Peep referencing the "ghost girl" that he can't find because this person is mentioned in numerous other singles and albums he's previously created.

"Sex With My Ex" follows "Runaway" and is one of the worst tracks on the album. Basically, rapping about fucking his ex-girlfriend, this song doesn't have too much substance. The beat is sub-par and the flow is cringeworthy. The lyrics "FuuuUUuck me, like we're lyin' on our deathbed" sounds like Peep is trying to hit notes that he knows he cannot reach. Unfortunately, this song didn't allow me to "catch a feelin'".

The fourth track "Cry Alone" is one of my personal favorites, and reminds me of Peep's older track "Wake Me Up" due to the reference of "kissing Styrofoam". This song was released as a single in order to promote the album and although there aren't many lyrics to this song, it's still catchy as hell.

My favorite track off this project is track five "Leanin'" because of the way Peep references death and suicide. The lyrics "Woke up surprised, am I really alive" had me wishing that he hadn't actually overdosed and was still alive today. Unfortunately that's not the case and Peep's ashes were spread in a garden rather than his wish to be buried "with all the lights out."

Track six "16 Lines", seven "Life is Beautiful", and eight "Hate Me" were some of the worst tracks on the album. I had heard a demo of "16 Lines" before it was released and had hoped that more work would go into it. Sadly, I was mistaken and felt that the song could have had more substance to it rather than Peep rapping about being on his own since "age 9". There is also a point in the track where Peep repeats the lyrics "is anybody out there, I hate it when you fake care" and each time this is rapped, the words "fake care" are stretched out and exaggerated. T "Life is Beautiful" is the worst song on this album due to the corny and cliché way that Peep rap's about how "life is beautiful, I think that life is beautiful". Moving forward, the track "Hate Me" sounded like a really good song to end the album on due to how the lyrics and beat fluctuate with each other.

"Idgaf" follows track eight and is more or less a song about how Peep doesn't pick up his phone when people call him because he doesn't "give a fuck about anything." Just like in a few other songs on this album, this track could have used more substance and felt uninteresting to listen to.

The tracks "White Girl" and "Fingers" end the non-bonus track of this album and the tracks are pretty opposite of each other. "White Girl" is very slow paced and somber, whereas "Fingers" sound like it could be played at any club in the country. I definitely liked "Fingers" better than "White Girl" because the beat was more interesting to listen to and the lyrics reflected people hating Peep because they didn't know the "real" him. There is also a super cringe-worthy moment in "White Girl" where Peep slurs the adlib "for real" after the lyric "When I fuck her and she make me a meal."

Other tracks on this album include "Falling Down" which is basically the next song "Sunlight On Your Skin" but with XXXTentacion instead of the artist iLoveMakonnen. Reviews of both these songs can be found on my main Odyssey page.

Compared to his previous music, most of the tracks on this album sound over-produced, rather than the grungy/griminess that is perpetuated in his previous material like California Girls or Hellboy. However it is to be expected that his sound would change due to the lack of the artist's final approval of the project. Come Over When You're Sober Part II sounded like a sadder, and quieter version of Part I and left me feeling more incomplete. This incompleteness is due in part to the fact that we will never truly know how Peep wanted this album to sound like, and also because Part II is so drastically different than Part I. I look forward to hearing more posthumous music by Lil Peep in the future, however I did not enjoy Come Over When You're Sober Part II as much as I thought I would. As an avid Lil Peep fan I will definitely purchase this album, however it received the score of a soft five out of 10.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
