Where the album strikes an undeniable chord is with the earnest 'DESERVE YOU' and the contemplative 'THE LINE' (feat. d4vd)—it’s here where Laroi's writing shines brightest. They offer confession booth-style lyrical intimacy, yet Laroi's vocal delivery on these tracks seems to search for a musical anchor, occasionally drifting in the wide sea of production.

Narratives like 'WHAT WENT WRONG???' and the candidly heartfelt 'WHERE DOES YOUR SPIRIT GO?'—a touching tribute to Juice WRLD—do provide a redemptive nod to Laroi's knack for storytelling through rap. However, these promising moments are at times overshadowed by a feeling of thematic repetition rather than evolution.

As the album concludes with 'KIDS ARE GROWING UP', Laroi wraps his memoirs with an empathetic acknowledgment of his origins and the transformations borne from life’s relentless tide. It's an admirable finale that, while aiming to tie the bow on this collection of life chapters, could benefit from more cohesive storytelling earlier in the album.
