Houston rapper Travis Scott's album Astroworld will be released Friday

I gotta say, the Kardashians thing had me nervous. And the Huncho Jack album's mediocrity really scared me. That being said, this album is pretty ****ing dope. Its better than Birds but not quite Rodeo but its damn close

 

Glad he reps Houston so much

But my biggest takeaway is that it’s ..... boring. Nothing new or interesting, and he isn’t a strong lyricist. I’ll listen through it a couple more times, but it’s just nothing special. Sick Mode is ok, but drake is trash so it’s a push

 

I've been riding with TS since Upper Echelon. When I was telling my friends about him and they would ask if it was a country singer lol. Put my UK friends on to Don't Play and had them hooked.


Crazy to see the rise. I went to the Rodeo release concert the day it came out, didn't hear about the Astroworld one in time unfortunately.


This album seems to be the highest average level of quality track by track, but it doesn't have the highs that DBR, Rodeo, Birds did for me. I love those big energy hooks like Upper Echelon, Don't Play, 3500, Wayback, Skyfall, etc.

Only track that let me catch my breath on here is Coffee Bean, but I can still appreciate its place in the structure of the album. I also threw Watch on at the end and it really completes the cycle to bring the album back to Stargazing if you're listening to it multiple times through.

 

To each his own but Stargazing, Sicko, and Stop Trying To Be God are anything but boring and old. The music, beats, transitions, features, are all fresh and straight fire!!! They gave us a tasty AF Stevie Wonder harmonica solo for godsakes!?!?

My only complaint, the first half of the album is way better and creates the impression that the second half of the album is weak. Essentially 17 songs is too many and would have been if it were 10 songs only. Less would have been more imo.

 

Love the album name.

Hate the auto-tune. Way too much

 

Far from boring but would be more playable if it was 14 songs instead of 17. I judge an album on how many times I gotta skip a track, I've played this thing front to back as much as possible and no matter where I am or what I'm doing I see NC-17, 5% and Who? What! as worthless overly formulaic leftovers fluff Birds tracks. I actually don't like Butterfly Effect either but that's because of being overplayed. Take those three out and this is a perfect funk, trap, electronic rap album.
Top 3
1. Can't Say
2. Stop Trying to be God
3. No bystanders

 

I've never heard his music. I just know he's a huge astros fan and has his own pair of Jordans designed. That's good enough for me. Give him the grammy!

 

been listening to Sicko Mode so much, sh*t is fire...this is the Travis Scott that I love

Woo, made this here with all the ice on in the booth
At the gate outside, when they pull up, they get me loose
Yeah, Jump Out boys, that's Nike boys, hoppin' out coupes
This **** way too big when we pull up give me the loot (gimme the loot!)
Was off the Remy, had to Papoose
Had to hit my old town to duck the news
Two-four hour lockdown, we made no moves
Now it's 4 AM and I'm back up poppin' with the crew

 

I can’t stop listening to Stop Trying to Be God the end with James Blake and Stevie on the harmonica gives me life.

Album as a whole is banging. Sicko Mode...dat chit slaps

 

That's ASAP Rocky

 

I know...I was posting a turn up gif, not a Travis Scott one

 

My bad, I considered that as an explanation cause that song is the ****

 

Same!, the last 3rd of the song is absolutely beautiful.

 

This album is good.
