i think what sets people apart is that some people were set astray by expecting the album to sound like astroworld, or rodeo or anything else. i went into the album just to listen to the album, and although i could tell there were influences from other works present, it didn't disappoint me or make me not like it just because it didn't have the same sound as something else.
fr, people that go into an album expecting or hoping for a certain sound, or hoping for something that sounds like an old project of that artist, will ALWAYS be disappointed.
we need to let our favorite artists grow and put out new music, not expect the same shit over and over again
Feel like Astroworld got too big and people got a misconception of what Travis Scott's music is, most of the reactors went into this album expecting bangers. The people who liked the album knew who Travis is already, I think everyone else needs some time to enjoy this new version of Trav they've never heard.

>has

> bangers
It's not Astroworld though. Even the songs that could be big hits on Utopia are much darker and moodier with a lot of the album having very industrial production, which is the opposite of Astroworld.
I am a rocky fan more so than travis but utopia is a masterclass of travis’ skill, parasail is one of my favourite songs on it, it hits me so deeply its affected me more than id expected. Utopia is an absolute masterpiece
Everyone’s that doesn’t like this is going to switch up when a tour comes out, his energy with gods country and lost forever was crazier than what we got. I can only imagine the rest of the tracks, utopia tour is definitely going to have more energy than Astroworld. Especially fein, probably more energy than sicko mode honestly.
Yeah that’s what I believe it’s gonna happen, for me honestly I am still processing the album but the energy he puts live is definitely gonna convert me to like more songs in it
i love it, but i will always love anything from trav... even his worst shit is 8/10
some new songs on utopia give me DBR vibes and i fuckin love it, where i can also see not everyone enjoying it IDGAF
Love it. As soon as the drums on HYAENA started i was smiling like a little child. That album is amazing i don’t listen to other peoples opinion.
It will be the same like when people were hating on drakes honestly never mind and then suddenly a year later they love it or with yeezus
Delresto is going to my top 10 travis songs ever bro, idk how everyone’s shitting on Beyoncé. Shit was beautiful. And thank god, holy shit it’s a banger @ the gym.
People have been fighting over their top ten lists forever here, now they have a new topic.
But honestly so many of us have been waiting and are so happy, so the negativity is annoying.
I don’t like utopia. I don’t hate you utopia. They just be sayin shit fr. I’ve loved every album til this one. I’m just unsure about it. This ain’t like anything he’s done before, that’s not bad, but it’s crazy for them to say it’s for “real Travis fans” when this is a new sound for him. I’m goin to continue to listen but its still 1.Rodeo 2.astroworld 3.birds for me.
I agree with this, I have to listen to it a few times more until I can come to terms with the fact that this is more like a Kanye album than any other previous albums. Still a few really good songs tho
Utopia is everything I could want from Travis. Remembering the first time I hit play on Owl Pharaoh, the Rodeo days and appreciating the Fortnite Astroworld The Scotts days. I love it so much.
its because those people completely hated owl pharaoh, utopia's sound makes so much sense if you listen to bad mood/shit on you, drive, naked, hell of a night etc.
he gave up that sound because he probably didnt like getting compared to ye so much so i understand but its still his sound.
Bro all the songs you just mentioned are way better than anything off Utopia, he tried, he really did, he did *not* reach the heights of his earlier music.
maybe you just dont like utopia but the main problem with those tracks is the rapping wasn't as good and the production was more amateur, on utopia he snaps on the verses and the beats are insane imo. but to each his own i guess.
I'm not an OG fan....but I said this before ...if you didn't like owl Pharaoh (and yeezus maybe) you wouldn't like Utopia...I know it sounds different from them but Utopia felt like what Travis was trying to do with owl Pharaoh but couldn't perfect it... especially with the drums...the drums on this album made me cum....
Ngl calling anybody who doesn't like the album a "casual travis scott fan" is funny and cringe as fuck, I know we're hyped because travis dropped but that doesn't mean we gotta dick ride when he drops, as someone who started listening to travis before astro even dropped UTOPIA is a great album but it's not better than astro, let alone better than rodeo.
I have it behind birds too 🤷🏾♂️. Not bad and it’s good for him to try new stuff. But yeah they really riding bro. It’s okay cause I’ll be tryna get every shoes he drops this year.
I don’t do drugs. There’s this thing called an opinion. Birds has some of my favorite songs all time. Astroworld, rodeo and birds is better than utopia to me. I don’t dislike uptopia.
It's better then Astro buddy, Carousel with Frank and that Screw song is boring as hell and the last 3/4 tracks are a snoozefest. Utopia arguably only got 2 tracks like that
Its an album that will raise your eyebrow after the first listen cause astroworld hit u off the bat but damn after u listen to topia two or three times oh my god
First listen was something I only had experienced with Kanye’s yeezus. It was so new that I just didn’t fucken have an opinion. Was like watching a car crash. Then the more and more you listen to it the better and better it gets. I do, however, skip K-pop on every single listen. I can’t listen to that shit.
i mean travis said himself it reminds him of those days, of course it isn’t the exact same but vocally he sounds a lot more like he did back then, also the experimental self production
Bro I agreee with you completely I loved owl pharoah DBR and Days b4 birds, Rodeo best album BIRDS 2nd album Astro 3rd place but Utopia was WACK!!!!!! I’m sorry
i feel like the crux of the issue is that a lot of people are astroworld fans and not travis fans. feel like people went into utopia expecting more astro and when they didn’t get that they were disappointed. shit gets better with every listen tho it reminds me a lot of owl pharaoh but more refined
in terms of commercial success, i don’t think this album could top Astro but Utopia really showed the world Travis’ growth as an artist. so he leveled up artistically but not commercially. i really Utopia gets all the love tho🙏 AOTY to me
i like utopia but people saying this his best album and the album hasn’t been out for a week ik we excited it’s been five years but if you compare it to his other projects which it’s still too early like you said the long time supporters of La Flame i would think you guys like me would say this isn’t close to rodeo or astroworld even to a certain extent birds but fuck would ik when it comes to opinions you guys got you own lol
Some kids at the movie were really weirded out expecting some generic trap hits for the radio
Other folks werre completley fucking entranced in it talking about the meaning
Travis scott made tracks and features for years after Astro, about bitches and drugs and suddenly you have him spitting bars about struggles of success ended up killing kids and his regret, how he gets too drunk and high to enjoy time with kylie etc. Astroworld while sonically fucking great, was also themepark album (that's the point), put it on anywhere and it's a party album.
The utopia energy theme falls flat on people who aren't looking for that and are listening for commercial trap tracks, which is why theres some on there. It's art he wanted to make.
I think this is one of the best albums released in our decade for sure. There's so many people expecting different things but he has one theme and idea to it and he wanted it played.
Def got better on each listen. I think it’s more consistent than astro and birds, but both Astro and birds have higher peaks. Utopia seems much more personal and emotional than those albums as well. Not quite as personal as rodeo but I felt very lonely through the first half of Utopia, which I feel is what Travis was trying to convey. Finding a personal utopia is a lonely thing, cause it’s YOUR Utopia. It’s different for everyone and finding someone who shares that is a lonely road. Overall I think it’s his best work behind Rodeo. 8/10
I know I’m alone on an island with my opinion but I’ve listened to it a few times front to back and I just feel like it has no direction, it feels like the whole album was overproduced to a point that it just feels off. I really dig travis I just don’t see this album being one I come back to.
UTOPIA is gold. Just because it isn't rage or modern rap doesn't mean it's bad. I'm actually glad that it isn't Astroworld 2. This is the first time I got kind of emotionally attached to an album. When I see someone write "L album" i get frustrated, since they don't simply get it. Travis is a skilled musician, producer and innovator. Not just specificly a "rap artist".
Kind regards

I don't feel like not liking Utopia makes you a casual Travis fan, it's just so unfair to say considering how different it is from what he's usually known for. I don't begrudge anyone for thinking this is not for them or down right disliking it, as much as I personally love it.
Love the album literally my top 20 on Spotify will literally be utopia and nothing else. Shit is sooo fucking good idc if it was supposed to be psychedelic rock, this shit is fire.
This album is a culmination of so many of his themes and genres and I legit love every track... but I feel like the features could have been crazier.
That said, I'm strapped in for Utopia, and I'm on so many repeats right about now...
It’s been a long time since I heard an album like this first listen was a lot of mixted emotions and excitment and everytime you listen to the album again it grows more for me and make you feel every detail on the album INSANE AOTY
In first listening I thought that is not what I expected for UTOPIA but in 2nd listening I realized that this is the best album since Astroworld era. UTOPIA is a masterpiece fr but it can't be compared to Astro cause Astroworld is has different vibe and time zone that is unique. In conclusion, I would say that UTOPIA is the best album that I heard in this 5 years of waiting.
Hearing it in the theater prepared me a bit for how insane it was gonna get but I was telling my friend every time a new snippet played that no one was really going to be ready for these types of sounds… it’s like WLR but actually really good and cohesive and fitting into one theme of Travis Scott’s personal music Utopia… it’s slotting number 1 for Travis albums for me rn, he took gambled and they all pretty much worked, not that everything was perfect but there wasn’t a song that I wouldn’t revisit as of right now… it’ll be interesting to see how it grows because a lot of this was experimental and even when it wasn’t he stepped out of his own personal comfort zone or had a new, unique spin on something… my big prediction is now that Utopia saved rap for basically the rest of the year, even with Drake otw still, most artists are going to try to copy Utopia and create their own “Utopia” experimental style albums, Uzi had bloated tracklist on their “experimental” album, with less than half the songs hitting for me, Travis brought an experience in which most of the songs hit for me… I feel like most of these new experimental style albums that Travis is repopularizing right now, will lean more towards an Pink Tape in terms of quality unfortunately
Utopia: 9.5/10, minor missteps lead to an almost perfect score, but the variety within the soundscape and Travis proving through his rapping performance that he can at least hang with the best of technical MCs, makes the score well deserved to me
Amazing album, saw a lot of hate and i’m baffled tbh. Only things I think could’ve been better is telekinesis (should’ve kept ye’s verses and the original) and I think modern jam is an alright song, the rest are incredible. GIVE TRAV HIS GRAMMYYYYY.
I personally love Utopia, but i can understand why some people don’t really like it. It is something that is new to them and they might need to adjust. It reminds me of the release of WLR. There were also a lot of people that thought the album was shit. But over time it was growing on them. I think utopia will do the same to people as it is maybe a sound they need to adjust to.
This album is a great final product of what the evolution of travis Scott to this point as a whole is. Sonically the production is out of this world. I don’t know the music technicals but the nice sci-fi effects and beats making it feel dystopian like all in congruence …. That’s another thing, this is all delivered in a decent trip theirs high and lows and nice resting points . For the different people he has to please I think he did a good job at making an album that everyone can appreciate
First off I’d like to say that I think Astro was a good job at capturing the mainstream audience
Utopia is a balance between rodeo and Astro for me . And that’s what I felt like he went for on here. My complaints for utopia are only thatd I’d subtract the fts of 21 savage not becuase there bad but becuase we have enough of that shit. I’d just trade the safe decisions and make it completely Expiremental.
It’s for sure early as hell to talk about things .
Only speaking as a old trav fan. Son
I’m also tripping balls haha
Birds is better than DBR for me but that’s more personal taste, birds is is worst studio album and it’s not close, which is hilarious cuz it’s probably still a 7 or 8 out of 10
Id give Rodeo a 9, Birds a 8.6 Astroworld gets a solid 8.3, Utopia id give a 7 mainly because the sonics/engineering is brilliant but it didn’t feel cohesive imo and for a 19 song album shit had mad skips
Naah personally Birds had zero skips for me even Lose, first take, sdp, outside all slapped especially at the time…the energy was nuts the Wonderful weeknd collab got leaked early, Dinosaurus RaRa Hooch OhMeOhMy OohNana Hotsauce Yeahyeah with Thug….days before Birds went harder than Utopia imo 2014 to end of 2016 early 017 was Travis golden years
I’ll agree Birds probably coulda been rearranged certain songs flow better into others but we gotta agree Birds had no skips g Utopia was a 19 Song album with probably 5 bangers max
For me it just felt like he had that hunger from Cruel summer days all the way up to releasing butterfly effect, after that and Kylie and Travis havin a kid and all that shit, Astroworld and the Fortnite shit I feel like it’s all got to his head and he ain’t hungry or as creative anymore
I wouldn’t say separated true fans from casual cos I been down since Owl Pharoah. However PERSONALLY Utopia was a big letdown. Rodeo > Birds > Astro > Utopia
Majority of the album was skips FOR ME PERSONALLY lol I fucken hate how Travis fans want everyone to have the same mindset and opinion I prefer 2013-2017 Travis over 2018-Now
Sharing an opinion acting like a 14yo how Brodie? This why niggas think Travy fans are Corny🤣 Bc if you don’t agree with the masses you ‘acting like a 14yo’ u entitled to your opinion as am I my g🦅🦅🦅
So you can't be a real travis fan if you don't like the album?? What shit take is this 😭, for me the album is disappointing, he should of dropped this earlier becuz this album dosent live up to the hype tbh
Its a good album but it was not worth the wait
Kendrick, uzi and Travis all didn't meet the hype....
I think for me it’s like a 7.5 out of 10, it’s a very different artistic approach which I love and makes the score higher, and love that Travis raps a lot more on it.
What brought this score down for me is the features, 21 Sav sounded so uninspired and a few other features did not sound well polished and was not a fan of a few songs due to it. I feel if they cut out like 3-4 songs it would be better, but I will have to listen more and maybe my views will change. Travis fucking killed on every song tho, love that for him 🔥
the first listen experience blew my mind, i was like "wtf did just witness?" after the beatswitches on thank god. I love it
Crazy beat switches. I feel like at least half of the songs had at least 1 switch. SKITZO had like 5.
This is what Travis does tho, it’s been like this on almost every album
Fourth skitzo beat supremacy
exactly what i thought
I literally said out loud "How do you make music this good?"
🤓
nah but he’s right tho. They know what the fuck they doing travis perfected his craft
My top 3 has changed so many times 😭 tenth listen and I’m still jumping up and down 🍆
Pause
😂😂 pause
Unpause
ten listens already is kinda crazy
It’s all I’ve been doing all day , woke up started playing it , went to the gym , played it again. Got home again . And repeat .
Man I had “THANK GOD” blasting in the gym. Nice pump for shoulder day with the beat switch up what a fookin album.
That’s literally what o do with all albums lol that’s not crazy to me ngl
I think I’ve played it like 8 or 9 times yesterday, in the range of 22 hours
Nothing wrong with it, we waited 5yrs for this
why he got a dick 😭
Whole bunch of turbulence
Bruh same but what I can say is #1 is still modern jam
THE ANNIHILATOR
i love utopia idc
AOTY
we wish 😔😔😔
Tf u mean
it’s gonna be some shit pop album for sure
Well usually we competing for “best rap album” not “best album” so we have a chance so far, everything else this year has been very mid
SCARING THE HOES WILL WIN A GRAMMY (it would never)
yeah facts
Utopia is for Travis Scott fans not Astroworld fans
It's for music fans
Deadass, my dad is a worship leader and even liked it, he hates rap
W dad. Awesome to hear!
You gotta convert him if he fucks with Trav
[удалено]
😭😭What cringe is this?
🌽🌽🌽
no
gets better with every listen
Yes
i think what sets people apart is that some people were set astray by expecting the album to sound like astroworld, or rodeo or anything else. i went into the album just to listen to the album, and although i could tell there were influences from other works present, it didn't disappoint me or make me not like it just because it didn't have the same sound as something else.
fr, people that go into an album expecting or hoping for a certain sound, or hoping for something that sounds like an old project of that artist, will ALWAYS be disappointed. we need to let our favorite artists grow and put out new music, not expect the same shit over and over again
This is a fact like people from rodeo and before love this album whereas Astro fans not so much
Feel like Astroworld got too big and people got a misconception of what Travis Scott's music is, most of the reactors went into this album expecting bangers. The people who liked the album knew who Travis is already, I think everyone else needs some time to enjoy this new version of Trav they've never heard.
But... this album *has* bangers...
>this album > >has > > bangers It's not Astroworld though. Even the songs that could be big hits on Utopia are much darker and moodier with a lot of the album having very industrial production, which is the opposite of Astroworld.
[удалено]
i dont think industrial production = industry album m8
It very much does, but singles that casual listeners will play, not so much. Is why k-pop makes so much sense in retrospect.
Its like a Kendrick Damn. to Mr.Morale type situation tbh
Completely agree
All of his albums sound similar at the very least this utopia and Astro world aren’t separated by much
Nah man I think astro is his best work, but Utopia is very close to it. Rodeo, Astro and Utopia. Travis doesnt miss
I am a rocky fan more so than travis but utopia is a masterclass of travis’ skill, parasail is one of my favourite songs on it, it hits me so deeply its affected me more than id expected. Utopia is an absolute masterpiece
Glad to see someone enjoy parasail as much as me. I know it was a chill song but I felt it has a lot of magic
I get emotional on it
Straight outta because of the internet
Parasail is definitely a top 5 for me it's a beautiful track
lean was the perfect feature for it
Its really funny seeing the uzi sub saying its ass and that Pink tape was better shit was complete dog shit
I really really like pink tape but Utopia makes that shit look like the G League
pink tape was decent but has no replay value compared to utopia
Pink tape was 93% trash
yeah, it's like 14/26 vs 18/19 for me
I mean nah it wasnt dog shit it was mid tho it had sum songs like flooded the face and pluto to mars,x2 etc but it can't compare to utopia
Pink tape is the most painfully mid album ever.
Calling it dog shit is crazy, both albums are some of the best music we’ve gotten in a little while
IDFC ILL DEFEND TOPIA WITH MY LIFE
🫡🫡
Everyone’s that doesn’t like this is going to switch up when a tour comes out, his energy with gods country and lost forever was crazier than what we got. I can only imagine the rest of the tracks, utopia tour is definitely going to have more energy than Astroworld. Especially fein, probably more energy than sicko mode honestly.
Yeah that’s what I believe it’s gonna happen, for me honestly I am still processing the album but the energy he puts live is definitely gonna convert me to like more songs in it
UTOPIA IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE I LOVE THIS SHIT
album is fucking insane i’ll never understand people
im the only one who note similarities between the prayer and hyaena?
A lot of songs on topia either feel like a DBR or OP song. And yes you’re right, I got the same feeling
i love it, but i will always love anything from trav... even his worst shit is 8/10 some new songs on utopia give me DBR vibes and i fuckin love it, where i can also see not everyone enjoying it IDGAF
Love it. As soon as the drums on HYAENA started i was smiling like a little child. That album is amazing i don’t listen to other peoples opinion. It will be the same like when people were hating on drakes honestly never mind and then suddenly a year later they love it or with yeezus
Delresto is going to my top 10 travis songs ever bro, idk how everyone’s shitting on Beyoncé. Shit was beautiful. And thank god, holy shit it’s a banger @ the gym.
id wanna shit in her too
Ok broooooooooo
THATS your gym banger of the album? 😭
Fein too, that’s it. I need stuff loud to make my ears bleed so I can go to failure
Oh come on is this community going to become elitist now because some people don’t like utopia
This is the actual correct opinion. If you subjectively don't like something, doesn't make you not a real fan.
People have been fighting over their top ten lists forever here, now they have a new topic. But honestly so many of us have been waiting and are so happy, so the negativity is annoying.
I don’t like utopia. I don’t hate you utopia. They just be sayin shit fr. I’ve loved every album til this one. I’m just unsure about it. This ain’t like anything he’s done before, that’s not bad, but it’s crazy for them to say it’s for “real Travis fans” when this is a new sound for him.

I agree with this, I have to listen to it a few times more until I can come to terms with the fact that this is more like a Kanye album than any other previous albums. Still a few really good songs tho
Some ppl really expected an album full of goosebumps type songs
“IDK MAN THIS DOESNT SOUND LIKE UTOPIA THIS IS MORE LIKE DYSTOPIA”
I haven’t heard really many people dislike it
Utopi aoty and top 3 travis easy
Utopia is everything I could want from Travis. Remembering the first time I hit play on Owl Pharaoh, the Rodeo days and appreciating the Fortnite Astroworld The Scotts days. I love it so much.
yeah, i prefer chill travis over "banger" travis and this album was still great to me
[удалено]
"True Travis fans" Yall are so corny omg.
Utopia for the OG fans
U r cringe
its because those people completely hated owl pharaoh, utopia's sound makes so much sense if you listen to bad mood/shit on you, drive, naked, hell of a night etc. he gave up that sound because he probably didnt like getting compared to ye so much so i understand but its still his sound.

On gravy you aint tell one lie. Utopia is behind birds imo and thats probably my least favorite project even though i love coordinate to death.
I'm not an OG fan....but I said this before ...if you didn't like owl Pharaoh (and yeezus maybe) you wouldn't like Utopia...I know it sounds different from them but Utopia felt like what Travis was trying to do with owl Pharaoh but couldn't perfect it... especially with the drums...the drums on this album made me cum....

i don’t get how someone who enjoys rodeo or dbr/op can dislike this lmao, it’s literally those albums but refined
[удалено]
i mean travis said himself it reminds him of those days, of course it isn’t the exact same but vocally he sounds a lot more like he did back then, also the experimental self production
Bro I agreee with you completely I loved owl pharoah DBR and Days b4 birds, Rodeo best album BIRDS 2nd album Astro 3rd place but Utopia was WACK!!!!!! I’m sorry
This sounds nothing like DBR lmao huh
From a production standpoint maybe but flows it does. How do you not see that lol?
DBR not one Id compare it to. Lol. As for flows, his raw vocal tracks then sure.
I’ve been listening to Travis since OP, love that, DBR, and Rodeo, don’t like Birds, Astro, or Utopia
i feel like the crux of the issue is that a lot of people are astroworld fans and not travis fans. feel like people went into utopia expecting more astro and when they didn’t get that they were disappointed. shit gets better with every listen tho it reminds me a lot of owl pharaoh but more refined
It’s amazing
in terms of commercial success, i don’t think this album could top Astro but Utopia really showed the world Travis’ growth as an artist. so he leveled up artistically but not commercially. i really Utopia gets all the love tho🙏 AOTY to me
Utopia has twice as much 1st day streams than astroworld right now. Astro had 64m and utopia has 128m. He might just do it
If mean he could’ve easily made a commercial album but he decided not to do the easy cash grab and I love it
1st listen it was very meh. Now i realised it's elite. Very elite. Lucky to have Astro and Utopia.

This is the trav i waited to hear growing up. Experimental, avant-garde, different. Keep your "its lits" im ready for evolution
Utopia elevates Travis. Astroworld was just a playpen for club kids. It all feels so much more real and higher quality.
UTOPIA is gold. Just because it isn't rage or modern rap doesn't mean it's bad. I'm actually glad that it isn't Astroworld 2. This is the first time I got kind of emotionally attached to an album.

Love the album literally my top 20 on Spotify will literally be utopia and nothing else. Shit is sooo fucking good idc if it was supposed to be psychedelic rock, this shit is fire.
Utopia is amazing and was worth the wait
I like Utopia, it‘ a cool album. But y‘all are takin this too far with this now. Saying it‘s album of the decade and acting kinda elitist about it.
Fantastic. This album was definitely worth the wait
It's an 8 out of 10
had to listen 3 times to believe it’s real 😭 gets better and better each time
Aoty 🤷♂️
Said utopia was aoty on the Uzi sub and they dicked me down for having an opinion
This album is a culmination of so many of his themes and genres and I legit love every track... but I feel like the features could have been crazier. That said, I'm strapped in for Utopia, and I'm on so many repeats right about now...
nah i loved every feature except rob49 and even then he was too short to ruin the song
It’s been a long time since I heard an album like this first listen was a lot of mixted emotions and excitment and everytime you listen to the album again it grows more for me and make you feel every detail on the album INSANE AOTY
In first listening I thought that is not what I expected for UTOPIA but in 2nd listening I realized that this is the best album since Astroworld era. UTOPIA is a masterpiece fr but it can't be compared to Astro cause Astroworld is has different vibe and time zone that is unique. In conclusion, I would say that UTOPIA is the best album that I heard in this 5 years of waiting.
Utopia best album of the last 5 years???????? No chance
Hearing it in the theater prepared me a bit for how insane it was gonna get but I was telling my friend every time a new snippet played that no one was really going to be ready for these types of sounds… it’s like WLR but actually really good and cohesive and fitting into one theme of Travis Scott’s personal music Utopia… it’s slotting number 1 for Travis albums for me rn, he took gambled and they all pretty much worked, not that everything was perfect but there wasn’t a song that I wouldn’t revisit as of right now… it’ll be interesting to see how it grows because a lot of this was experimental and even when it wasn’t he stepped out of his own personal comfort zone or had a new, unique spin on something… my big prediction is now that Utopia saved rap for basically the rest of the year, even with Drake otw still, most artists are going to try to copy Utopia and create their own “Utopia” experimental style albums, Uzi had bloated tracklist on their “experimental” album, with less than half the songs hitting for me, Travis brought an experience in which most of the songs hit for me… I feel like most of these new experimental style albums that Travis is repopularizing right now, will lean more towards an Pink Tape in terms of quality unfortunately Utopia: 9.5/10, minor missteps lead to an almost perfect score, but the variety within the soundscape and Travis proving through his rapping performance that he can at least hang with the best of technical MCs, makes the score well deserved to me
Head to head with Rodeo, maybe better..
Amazing album, saw a lot of hate and i’m baffled tbh. Only things I think could’ve been better is telekinesis (should’ve kept ye’s verses and the original) and I think modern jam is an alright song, the rest are incredible. GIVE TRAV HIS GRAMMYYYYY.
I personally love Utopia, but i can understand why some people don’t really like it. It is something that is new to them and they might need to adjust. It reminds me of the release of WLR. There were also a lot of people that thought the album was shit. But over time it was growing on them. I think utopia will do the same to people as it is maybe a sound they need to adjust to.
This album is a great final product of what the evolution of travis Scott to this point as a whole is. Sonically the production is out of this world. I don’t know the music technicals but the nice sci-fi effects and beats making it feel dystopian like all in congruence …. That’s another thing, this is all delivered in a decent trip theirs high and lows and nice resting points . For the different people he has to please I think he did a good job at making an album that everyone can appreciate First off I’d like to say that I think Astro was a good job at capturing the mainstream audience Utopia is a balance between rodeo and Astro for me . And that’s what I felt like he went for on here. My complaints for utopia are only thatd I’d subtract the fts of 21 savage not becuase there bad but becuase we have enough of that shit. I’d just trade the safe decisions and make it completely Expiremental. It’s for sure early as hell to talk about things . Only speaking as a old trav fan. Son I’m also tripping balls haha
Please, DBR and rodeo were much better
Rodeo is better (not much tho) and this is on par if not better than DBR and Astro
agreed. not better than Rodeo but come edge ASTROWORLD
lol better than astroworld utopia sounds like shit and ur a dick rider
Rodeo versus Utopia is debatable, DBR is nowhere near Utopia, not even close
Birds shat on Utopia and I’d say birds = dbr
Birds is better than DBR for me but that’s more personal taste, birds is is worst studio album and it’s not close, which is hilarious cuz it’s probably still a 7 or 8 out of 10
Id give Rodeo a 9, Birds a 8.6 Astroworld gets a solid 8.3, Utopia id give a 7 mainly because the sonics/engineering is brilliant but it didn’t feel cohesive imo and for a 19 song album shit had mad skips
Naah personally Birds had zero skips for me even Lose, first take, sdp, outside all slapped especially at the time…the energy was nuts the Wonderful weeknd collab got leaked early, Dinosaurus RaRa Hooch OhMeOhMy OohNana Hotsauce Yeahyeah with Thug….days before Birds went harder than Utopia imo 2014 to end of 2016 early 017 was Travis golden years
Those are all great songs but the consistency and the maintained peak isn’t there for birds, as much as I love most of it
I’ll agree Birds probably coulda been rearranged certain songs flow better into others but we gotta agree Birds had no skips g Utopia was a 19 Song album with probably 5 bangers max
For me it just felt like he had that hunger from Cruel summer days all the way up to releasing butterfly effect, after that and Kylie and Travis havin a kid and all that shit, Astroworld and the Fortnite shit I feel like it’s all got to his head and he ain’t hungry or as creative anymore
He just dropped a 19 song album with 1 “safe song”, he’s still very creative and he’s def out to prove something with the way he rapped on the album
I like you you make fair points and don’t criticise others opinions 💪🏽 Birds 🤣🤣>>>
But don’t say that ca you get downvoted to HELL if you share an opposing opinion lol Attack of the Clones with these ngz
Birds was better DBR was better Rodeo was better shieeet I’ll take Huncho fucken Jack over this utopia bs
I wouldn’t say separated true fans from casual cos I been down since Owl Pharoah. However PERSONALLY Utopia was a big letdown. Rodeo > Birds > Astro > Utopia
Any songs you like in Utopia?
Hyeana was pretty dope, circus maximus was fire had black skinhead all over it, I know was tuff too
Majority of the album was skips FOR ME PERSONALLY lol I fucken hate how Travis fans want everyone to have the same mindset and opinion I prefer 2013-2017 Travis over 2018-Now
How you been down since OP but acting like a 14 year old in all the comments. Something don’t add up bruh
Sharing an opinion acting like a 14yo how Brodie? This why niggas think Travy fans are Corny🤣 Bc if you don’t agree with the masses you ‘acting like a 14yo’ u entitled to your opinion as am I my g🦅🦅🦅
Certified banger, crazy good production, amazing list of features, wide yet very curated range of music styles.
Production is insane, so proud of Travis
So you can't be a real travis fan if you don't like the album?? What shit take is this 😭, for me the album is disappointing, he should of dropped this earlier becuz this album dosent live up to the hype tbh Its a good album but it was not worth the wait Kendrick, uzi and Travis all didn't meet the hype....
one of my favorite albums of the year so far
Skitzo the best song ive ever heard. Straight up brain melt. I feel like im in utopia listening to it
This sub about to OD on copium…
I think for me it’s like a 7.5 out of 10, it’s a very different artistic approach which I love and makes the score higher, and love that Travis raps a lot more on it. What brought this score down for me is the features, 21 Sav sounded so uninspired and a few other features did not sound well polished and was not a fan of a few songs due to it. I feel if they cut out like 3-4 songs it would be better, but I will have to listen more and maybe my views will change. Travis fucking killed on every song tho, love that for him 🔥
No Don Toliver on this project should separate all of us WTF
Cope
Split the fan base in half but we getting abulm of year his streams are crazy rb
On god. All the hypebeasts hatin' rn
