“Travis Scott’s third solo studio album arrives mired in controversy. Its artwork, which depicts the A-list rapper as an enormous, golden statue that breathes fire, was shot by noted photographer David LaChapelle and originally featured trans model Amanda Lepore. She’s been removed from the final version, prompting an outcry from social media. Scott has yet to comment, so his motives remain unclear”
“Astroworld is Travis Scott's strongest studio album to date”
“Travis Scott’s third album is inarguably his strongest to date. His skill as a curator helps sculpt a sticky, humid, psychedelic world with dazzling production and odd pleasures at every turn.”
“The Houston rapper opens up about his relationship, gathers influences from across the hip-hop world and comes through with the best music of his career”
“Travis Scott continues pushing the psychedelic boundaries of trap on Astroworld, but doesn't quite stick the landing.”
“**💭 Thoughts:** On Travis Scott’s 2018 album *ASTROWORLD*, Travis Scott aims to create a psychedelic, immersive experience, but instead feels inconsistent and bloated throughout much of the record. While he does succeed with this on a several tracks such as “SKELETONS” or CAN’T SAY,” the rest of the track list feels underwhelming. It’s a solid album, but I’ll probably only be revisiting about half of the track list. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) STARGAZING 🔵 2.) CAROUSEL 🟡 3.) SICKO MODE 🔵 4.) R.I.P. SCREW 🟢 5.) STOP TRYING TO BE GOD 🟢 6.) NO BYSTANDERS 🟢 7.) SKELETONS 🔵🥈 8.) WAKE UP 🟡 9.) 5% TINT 🟢 10.) NC-17 🟡 11.) ASTROTHUNDER 🔵🥉 12.) YOSEMITE 🟢 13.) CAN’T SAY 🔵🥇 14.) WHO? WHAT! 🟢 15.) BUTTERFLY EFFECT 🔵 16.) HOUSTONFORNICATION 🔵 17.) COFFEE BEAN 🟡 ──────────────────── **🤔 Track Rating Scale** 🔵 Loved — Thoroughly enjoyed it and will revisit often. 🟢 Liked — Enjoyed it, but it’s not one I’d revisit often. 🟡 Mixed — Enjoyed it somewhat, but some aspects held it back for me; most likely won’t revisit. 🟠 Disliked — Didn’t enjoy it very much; won’t be revisiting. 🔴 Hated — Didn’t enjoy any part of it; no desire to revisit ever again. ⚪️ Interlude, etc. — Not rated as an actual song. ──────────────────── **🏅 Ranking Scale** 10 — Perfect 9 — Exceptional 8 — Great 7 — Good 6 — Decent 5 — Average 4 — Below Average 3 — Poor 2 — Bad 1 — Awful 0 — Unlistenable”
“- die ad libs auf stargazingg sind so krazy schief aber clean wie geht das 🤔🤔 - stargazing is so nice atmosphärisch & wichtiger teil des (gerappten) storytellings/worldbuildings - anderer flex feature artists wie frank ocean & drake nicht zu erwähnen xd - i might take all my exes and put them into a group haha lol was meint er ne whatsapp gruppe haha? - signature ad libs sind so ! importante ! - i been wanting this shit my whole life ✨ - iwie hab ich die ganze zeit dieses dating interview von travis und kylie/kendall (idk lol) vor augen beim hören - das album setzt in der mitte so a bissle fett an tbh - i feel like im chosen im covered in gold 🍯 - don toliver mit der swaggy baby voice - feier auch voll wie sich die beiden auf dem track (can‘t say) abwechseln!! - I‘M ALIVE JUST TOOK ONE TO REVIVE”
“Such a good album from Travis, it’s between this and ‘Rodeo’ for his number one album. Production on this album is amazing with Travis’ vocals and auto tuning coming off amazing over the spacey, futuristic beats. The whole experience with this album is great and the album lived up to the hype too. The top songs off the track list are ‘STARGAZING’ ‘CAROUSEL’ ‘SICKO MODE’ ‘R.I.P. SCREW’ ‘NO BYSTANDERS’ ‘SKELETONS’ ‘WAKE UP’ ‘BUTTERFLY EFFECT’ ‘ASTROTHUNDER’ ‘COFFEE BEAN’”
“The third studio album by Travis Scott admittedly took a bit to fully grasp my attention, but with a few times of hearing it back it’s definitely grown on me. I think the tracks for the most part have a pretty overall great sound and features on this truly shines, as not the biggest fan of Drake I think he delivers a pretty solid performance on Sicko Mode. Now their tracks definitely can feel a bit bloated at times.”
“Travis transcends listeners to a world of his creation. This record build’s a world we all once knew. A world of fun and pure entertainment. This is Astroworld. Great record and deserves higher ranking in Apple Music’s Top 100.”
“The big hit songs are good but the rest of the album is forgettable. I don’t get the hype, not very interesting.”
