After collecting the data, the researchers analyzed the data based on the research questions. From the results of the research, the researchers concluded that types of figurative language found in the album is hyperbole, simile, symbolic, personification, and allegory. Meanwhile, the functions of figurative language found in the album were to provide imaginative pleasure, to talk a lot in a short compass, and to add emotional intensity. Hyperbole was the most frequent used figurative language (5 data), and to provide imaginative pleasure was the most frequent found function in the album (9 data).
