Watching Movies with the Sound Off
''Watching Movies with the Sound Off'' is the second studio album by American rapper Mac Miller. The album was released June 18, 2013 under Rostrum Records in the United States. The album continues his changes in his musical sound that he began with the mixtape ''Macadelic''. Mac Miller has described the album as very introspective and very personal. The album features guest appearances from Earl Sweatshirt, Ab-Soul, Action Bronson, Schoolboy Q, Jay Electronica and Tyler, The Creator among others. Production was handled primarily by Miller himself (under the pseudonym Larry Fisherman) among others such as Diplo, Tyler, The Creator, Flying Lotus, The Alchemist, Clams Casino, Earl Sweatshirt, J. Hill, Chuck Inglish and Pharrell Williams.
The album was supported by three singles, "S.D.S.", "Watching Movies" and "Goosebumpz", which peaked at number 41, 33, and 43 on the ''Billboard'' Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs respectively. Upon its release, the album was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, which praised his new psychedelic hip hop influence and improved lyricism. The album also fared well commercially debuting at number three on the ''Billboard'' 200, selling 102,000 copies in its first week of sale.
== Background ==
On October 14, 2012, Miller announced that the title of his second album will be, ''Watching Movies with the Sound Off''. He also said it would be released in early 2013. The album title is derived from Miller’s habit of making music in the studio while watching films on mute. Miller explained the difference between his debut album ''Blue Slide Park'' and this album he said, "Blue Slide was kind of about growing up in Pittsburgh and just about that feeling and (Movies ) is just what's going on in my head right now, after the time I've spent doing what I'm doing." When speaking of the album Miller said that it is "very introspective and very personal so it’s kind of throwing it all out there and seeing what happens."
The album's cover artwork was released via Mac Miller's official website on May 8, 2013. The cover art features Miller sitting nude at a table, his convenient placement of the "Parental Advisory" avoiding any indecent exposure. The minimalistic cover also has an apple sitting on the table, a flower-bearing ornament, and a golden cherub hanging from the ceiling. In an interview with ''Clash'' Miller explained the cover saying, "I've been chilling on the real description because it's funny that everyone tries to figure it out. There's the idea that an apple is good for you; I went through this period in life where all I ate was apples, but there's also some Adam and Eve shit." The cover art was designed by Miller McCormick. ''Complex'' ranked the cover at number 21 on their list of best album covers of 2013.
