"...Now, I’m not here to say CHROMAKOPIA is a text as necessary in the canon of written and performed words as The Catcher in the Rye. Tyler, the Creator has made better records than this—well, one better record—but there is something to be said about the way he colors his albums like the kind of novel that, upon reading it for a high school class or seeing it on a college syllabus, could very well change your life. He’s like the Bryan Ferry of rap music. The main character of CHROMAKOPIA, St. Chroma, does elicit (non-explicit) callbacks to Chroma the Great, a character in The Phantom Tollbooth; there are no accidents within the margins of these 14 songs; Tyler wants you to connect the dots. He wants you to dog-ear these pages and smear yellow highlighter across each and every word." - Matt Mitchell, Paste Magazine
