Tyler, The Creator / Cherry Bomb

Cherry Bomb is the sound of Tyler, The Creator kicking down every door he ever built, setting the house on fire, and dancing in the flames while screaming �I�M A FREE MAN NOW.� At 24, fresh off the relatively polished Wolf, Tyler decided to make the loudest, messiest, most expensive-sounding album possible. He spent $500k of his own money, recorded in bedrooms and proper studios, screamed into distorted mics, hired orchestras, Schoolboy Q, Kanye, Lil Wayne, and a full jazz band, then mixed the whole thing so loud that the original digital release clipped into oblivion (he later uploaded a cleaner �studio masters� version).
