    Definitely one of the contenders for AOTY in hip-hop for 2018, and will be well-remembered by fans. Very atmospheric, each song is a unique attraction.

    The production and ideas for this album are simply the best he ever had. The lyrics for his album are much better than his previous. This is one of the best albums of the year. There are some outstanding features such as Frank Ocean, Tame Impala, The Weeknd, Drake, Pharrell, James Blake, Kid Cudi, 21 Savages, and Migos.

    I didn't expect this album to have such great production. Yes, the lyrics aren't lyrics of the year but the songs are all great. There isn't any weak song on this project. Stop Trying To Be God, is probably one of the best track I've heard in years. The instrumental and the vocals from James Blake and Kid Cudi makes that track the best of the year.

    This is the only album from Travis that actually feels like an album. His other projects felt more like mixtapes. This album feels completed. The only thing I don't like about this album is having an old song like Butterfly on the album. We all heard that song and I didn't think it was necessary. It would've been much better to have a newer song like Watch (feat Kanye and Uzi) on the album instead.

    Butterfly is a good song but the radio played it too much. That might be the only skippable track.

    9.5/10 - Great production, great features, and better songwriting from Travis. Should've replaced Butterfly with Watch.    … Expand

    Fire album. Disclaimer: I'm from Houston. Days before rodeo was my introduction to Travis Scott and I thought he was a mix of Kanye and Cudi back then which was my favorite type of sound in music. I was hyped for Rodeo and thought it was amazing start to finish. Birds was also a really dope album to me, although I did prefer Rodeo but I thoroughly enjoyed Birds.

Astroworld though may be better than Rodeo for me. The different sounds, switches of beats mid song and vibe was awesome. Not to mention Travis really stepped up his flows and even spits some decent lyrics which is always a plus (although not a big deal) because I listen to Travis for moods and vibes. Tons of Houston references all over the place that I pick up which makes it even more appealing for me. Super excited for his next project and his Astroworld Festival coming up in November in Houston.… Expand

    Probably one of the best albums of the year. Huncho Jack was a pile of rushed **** but Trav took nearly 2 or so years to perfect his sound with this album. Amazing use of features, brilliant production, fine mastering too i may add.

Songs giving hype vibes and moody vibes with "Astrothunder", "Yosemite" and "Wake Up", this album has a song for everyone.

    Astroworld expands further upon the feature list of his other albums with features from Frank Ocean, Drake, Swae Lee, Juice WRLD, Sheck Wes, The Weeknd, 21 Savage, Gunna, NAV, Quavo, Takeoff, and new label mate Don Toliver, the feature list is a all-star list from everyone. Producers also did a wonderful good with multiple producers such as Sonny Digital, Tay Keith, Thundercat, Pharrell Williams, Wondagurl, Cubeatz, and Murda Beatz, all tracks are vivid and given their own theme.

    Astroworld is wonderful, amazing and feels like a trip to a theme park for one last time.

    Verdict: 10/10    … Expand

    Travis Scott creates his own hazy, humid and summery world with a sinister feel full of psychedelic beats. it truly feels like you're going into a amusement park during the summer for the whole day and night. And that amusement park is full of surprises.

    Being so highly anticipated since 2016, Travis was expected to deliver a piece of art that represented himself and his hometown. Anything he delivers will be compared to his best album ‘Rodeo’, and quite rightly so, as an artist should progress and innovate a sound unique to themselves.

Anything he delivers will be compared to his best album ‘Rodeo’, and quite rightly so, as an artist should progress and innovate a sound unique to themselves. After ‘Rodeo’ he released two “good” (subpar to his potential) joints; ‘Birds’ and ‘Huncho Jack’ - w/ Quavo, and these respective works were not on his expected level. So this led to ‘Astroworld’, his big moment to finally shine and show his true potential...
    Not only does he pulls this off, he may have even outdone ‘Rodeo’. This album is straight brilliant. Career-defining tracks such as ‘Stop Trying to be God’, ‘Coffee Bean’ and even ‘Sicko Mode’. With exceptional features by The Weeknd and 21 Savage also backed up with solid ones too; Swae Lee, Drake, Don Toliver, Frank Ocean, Gunna and the incredible contributions from Kid Cudi and James Blake were outstanding.

The truth is that the album had something everyone. For lyrical listeners, tracks like Coffee Bean and Yosemite delivered in a deeper way while tracks like Stargazing, NC-17 and Sicko Mode were for those who wanted something to bump in their car. Now if you listened closely, you would have found that the instrumentals throughout the album were very interesting and extremely audibly pleasing. All in all, La Flame's experimentation really paid off and all together, this album had enough to shatter peoples' expectations. This is an album that will probably be remembered as one of Travis' best and one of the best hip-hop albums for a long time.… Expand

    As we see Travis Scott evolve through his music, we can see a clear personality emerge in this album. As much as I was intrigued by his layered instrumentals and catchy lyrics, I was intrigued by his ability to tell a story without the need of concrete words to describe it. This is his most mature work, to date.

    The album's trap-psych spaciousness blends so that most of Astroworld plays out like a single long, spectacularly mixed track.

    The modulation and echo treatments on the vocals, combined with the frequently torpid tempos, nonetheless make Astroworld ideal for being pumped through an (18 and over) amusement park's sound system near closing time, when the challenge of hitting all the rides has started to turn into an overindulgent, overheated chore.

    His third studio album, Astroworld, feels like the grand opening of a vision that took a half-decade to perfect, still using the same psychedelic synth warps, diamond-cut drums, and reptilian hooks that initially skyrocketed him to stardom.
