Mac Miller – GO:OD AM [2 LP, Exclusive Spring Green Vinyl]

Description

Mac Miller’s third studio album GO:OD AM emerged as a rebirth statement when it originally arrived in 2015 through REMember Music and Warner Bros. Records. After years of public struggles with addiction and depression, Miller crafted an album that documented his recovery while showcasing his evolution as a producer, rapper, and songwriter. The title cleverly plays on the phrase “good morning,” representing awakening both literally and metaphorically, a theme reinforced by the alarm clock sounds that open “Brand Name.” Produced largely by Miller himself under his Larry Fisherman pseudonym, with contributions from Thundercat and ID Labs, the album debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 with 73,000 first-week sales and earned a Metacritic score of 71. The album was certified platinum in December 2024, reflecting its enduring impact on fans who recognized it as Miller’s most transparent and cohesive work, balancing optimism with brutally honest introspection.

Lead single “100 Grandkids” features a theatrical Latin-influenced introduction before shifting into an ominous trap banger, with Miller’s clever wordplay flipping between literal and financial interpretations of the title. “Weekend,” featuring Miguel, became the album’s second official single, celebrating life’s simple pleasures with a laid-back groove that showcases Miller’s improved vocal abilities. “Break the Law” opens with outrageous punchlines over taut production, while “Brand Name” addresses fame and identity over melancholy beats. The epic seven-minute “Perfect Circle / God Speed” demonstrates Miller’s range, moving through multiple movements. “Two Matches” features Ab-Soul reflecting on childhood dreams, while “In the Bag” includes humorous skits from Schoolboy Q, Domo Genesis, and Juicy J. Other highlights include the Lil B collaboration “Time Flies,” “Cut the Check” with Chief Keef, and the Little Dragon-assisted closer “The Festival,” which caps off the album’s 70-minute journey.

This limited edition indie exclusive pressing on spring green vinyl spreads the 17-track album across two LPs. Released in October 2023 alongside similar colored variants of Circles and The Divine Feminine, this spring green edition visually represents the album’s themes of renewal and optimism. The pressing captures Miller’s diverse production palette, from stripped-down boom-bap to lush R&B textures and EDM flourishes, preserving the album’s sonic adventurousness across four sides. Critics praised the album for its musical variety, with comparisons to Chance the Rapper’s exploratory spirit, while noting Miller’s growth as a complete artist who could rap, produce, and sing with equal confidence. This pressing honors an album that Billboard called Miller’s strongest to date, documenting a crucial turning point in his artistic journey.
