Goodbye & Good Riddance
Goodbye & Good Riddance is a 2018 studio album by Juice Wrld. R.I.P. I used to listen to his music all the time when I was younger in college. I haven’t listened to him as much recently, to be honest. His emo-rap style was enjoyable, but I feel like some songs lack a bit of substance. I’m re-listening to this album right now, and wow, I completely forgot how much I loved this album. I have listened to tons of albums recently, and while I have others I think are better, and even like more than this one, this album is super important to me.

I have great memories of listening to this album a lot in 2022. I was a sophomore and junior in college that year, and I remember on my ride home from college during things like Thanksgiving and winter break, I would bump this album. This album is kinda depressing in a way since it is about heartbreak, but there are some uplifting songs too. Songs like “Armed and Dangerous” and “Black and White” are almost completely removed from the heartbreak aesthetic this album is going for.
It’s not perfect. Some of the audio quality of certain parts is a bit questionable. I love the song, but Lil Uzi Vert’s verse on “Wasted” is enjoyable, but it has been memed on by the community. Particularly because the audio quality of Uzi’s verse sounds like it’s on a walkie-talkie. But there are so many great songs on this album. I love “I’ll Be Fine”, “I’m Still”, “Used To”, and honestly every song on this album. I don’t care for the skits, but I respect what he was going for. This album will always hold a special place in my heart, no matter what. I adore it and am super nostalgic for it. I love it.
