The “best boyband since one direction,” the hip-hop conglomerate born out of the heart of Brockhampton, Texas dropped their third and final installment of their album trilogy “SATURATION” within the same six month period. Brockhampton, an eight-man team, is the first in history to drop three albums in the same year, doing so in a superb fashion.

As implied by the album’s title, Brockhampton literally saturated the music sphere with their sound. They bring a familiar aspect to the music industry, similar to that of Odd Future. The group’s members all collaborate in order to compose music that takes on multiple viewpoints, sounds, and style choices. But they make it work.

There is a sense of restlessness and honesty when you listen to Brockhampton. Better known for their rap style music, especially when channeling each of the members’ frustrations with topics of religion, sexuality and the teenage/young adult experience. Part of what makes them so appealing is their ability to speak on these issues from different perspectives. It is almost like they create a feeling of community with their fans, acting as the voice of issues that are evermore prevalent in our society today.

“We’re not a political group, were just being honest and talking about real things that people like us go through. We represent all the weirdos,” said Kevin Abstract in an interview with MTV.

“All our voices matter.”

This final installment in the series is nothing short of expressive with these topics, but with a twist. Opening up with a jazzy banger, “Boogie” sets the tone of how the group feels. The subject of the song is directed to all the people who doubt, and who talk down about the group, acting almost as a middle finger to the naysayers.

The brilliance of their music, in this album especially, is the fact that each individual artist excels in their own quirky way. One minute you’re serenaded with dreamy R&B vocals on tracks like “Johnny” and “Bleach,” the next minute the song explodes right before your ears on tracks like “Sister/Nation.”

That’s the magic of Brockhampton. This is where the band aspect of the group is truly displayed, each member building off the other with the cohesiveness of their different styles. Perhaps the most striking moments of Saturation III are when Kevin Abstract and Ameer Vann are at the reins.

Abstract dives deep into his consciousness, opening up about his sexuality. In the track “Stupid,” Abstract spews the lines “I’m a fa***t I say it/I scream that s**t like I mean it.” It’s as though he is a voice for those going through the same struggle, and rather than playing victim, he takes the title head on. This is a remarkable feat, especially in a genre that has been blatantly homophobic since its conception.

As for Ameer Vann, the most vulgar of the group, he opens up about his past relationship with drugs, and how it ruined his life, but how it led to his newfound spirituality.

Matt Champion, the most dominant of the members in terms of skill, performs his best on this project with his regal soothing vocals on “Rental” that are so sonically pleasing that you can’t help but fall in love. On other tracks like “Stains” and “Zipper,” Champion displays his emotions on the subject matter of his mother, and why he’s even going through all this. It furthers the connection with the audience that other groups lack.

On the final track “Team,” this sense of contradiction is in full swing. It begins as a reverb-drenched R&B ballad that cuts to a smooth-rolling beat.

At their best, this run of SATURATION albums have turned out to be among 2017’s finest musical achievements. Sharply crafted and ready to explode, the group has simply outdone themselves. It’s the ultimate victory lap for a group who have stayed busier in the studio than some artists do in their entire career. This is Brockhampton at their funkiest and most playful, but it’s also Brockhampton at their finest.
