''Goblin'' is the debut studio album by Odd Future leader Tyler, The Creator. It was released on May 10, 2011 through XL Recordings. The album's production came almost entirely from Tyler himself, along with contributions from fellow Odd Future member Left Brain. ''Goblin'' continues Tyler's dialogues with his fictional therapist Dr. TC, first heard on ''Bastard''. The album was preceded by singles "Sandwitches", featuring Hodgy Beats, "Yonkers", "She", featuring Frank Ocean and "Bitch Suck Dick", featuring Jasper Dolphin & Taco. The single "Yonkers" is considered responsible for garnering the significant internet and industry buzz surrounding the OF group at the time of the album's release. Upon its release, ''Goblin'' received generally positive reviews from music critics. The album cover features Buffalo Bill at age 19. == Background and release == On October 8, 2010, Tyler and Hodgy released "Sandwitches" on Odd Future's official website for free, saying it was not going to be on any albums.
