    Before this album, I tried all of Uzi's albums. I didn't like them at all. I wanted to like him, but just didn't. I wasn't expecting anything good from this album, but it pleasantly surprised me. This is his best album. I don't like autotune (I think it's fine only if used a small amount), so because Uzi uses a lot of autotune, I was expecting to absolutely hate the album, if just that.Before this album, I tried all of Uzi's albums.

I don't like autotune (I think it's fine only if used a small amount), so because Uzi uses a lot of autotune, I was expecting to absolutely hate the album, if just that. Surprisingly enough, I didn't care. The album was enjoyable enough that I barely even noticed the autotune. I usually hate autotune, but I think it was easy to forget about in this album. Not every song is amazing in fact I'd say only about half to 2/3, but the worst songs are just alright and forgettable and the best songs (and I'd say basically all of the good songs) are REALLY good. The biggest problem with this album, though, was the wait. While I think this was a really good album, it definitely wasn't good enough for the long wait to this album, If you make people wait this long for an album, you need to make it your best work, because the longer to await an album, the more their expectations go up, and just don't think the album lives up to those high expectations.… Expand

    Uzi does not miss EVER, this album is the de facto album of the year. Uzi's lyrical ingenuity, hooks, and the beats behind the songs on EA is impeccable.

    The best part about Eternal Atake is that you discover a new sound with every listen.

    This is 2020's version of "DS2". Not too personal like DS2 but its still one of the most cohesive Rap/Trap albums of time. In "Bigger Than Life" he raps "Okay... my life is great". Thats true... This album is a big proof

    This album is an excellent progression in Lil Uzi’s discography that cements his role as one of the best currently working rappers. A concept album about his rise to fame he just hits it out of the park with exciting pop tracks.

    Even though it's a long album divided into 3 sections (Uzi's personas) it's very cohesive and fluid. There isn't a bad song on the album- all of them are quite frankly hip hop excellence.

    The flows are some of the best of 2020&perhaps this decade . Confident, high concept, versatile and cohesive. Lil Uzi dares to challenge any detractors who view trap as merely mumbling set to a beat. He tells actual stories and drops some of the funniest punchlines in recent history since Danny Brown. Favourites:silly watch, P2,ventia,that way, futsal shuffle

    I'm sad to admit Lil Uzi Vert is not strong enough to get rid of his old demons. I could literally copy-paste my last review about 'Luv Is Rage 2'. Hopefully I don't fear to repeat myself, especially when no thing has change.

Hopefully I don't fear to repeat myself, especially when no thing has change.
    Lil Uzi Vert is one of these artists I love to hear but I am disgusted by the half-effort he constantly puts in his albums. Just as 'Luv Is Rage 2', 'Eternal Atake' benefits from a outstanding and catchy start (let's say the three first tracks). Those smell like originality and good vibes. Things get way less fun after these... Between songs 3 and 13 it's a miserable sequence of unnoticeable work. Lyrics are repetitive, instrumentals are dull and/or painful and Lil Uzi's flow seems the same all along. However I recognize some people (as me) may like two or three of these ten songs but not more. For me it was 'Bigger Than Life' and 'Prices', the other were - at their best - preheated works. Yet this feeling of botched work is less actual in 'Eternal Atake' than in 'Luv Is Rage 2'. The classic subjects are all here: money, bad girls treated like toys (please we're in 2020), fancy cars and being the biggest in the rap game...
    Again, as for 'Luv Is Rage 2', this project has a really good ending, with five striking songs including one that is a pale remix of an old success (quite a shame).
    Compared to his late projects, the artist clearly lost major and unmissable collaborations. We waited (among others) at least Future, Playboi Carti, The Weeknd Quavo, Travis Scott and/or one of the A$AP Mob!    … Expand

    So, after 2 years and something, Lil Uzi's most awaited album finally arrived. Did it live up to the expectations? In my perspective, yes. Uzi delivers a solid, enjoyable and fluid project.

In my perspective, yes. Uzi delivers a solid, enjoyable and fluid project. A lot of people have been saying that Uzi did not innovated his sound at all during this years, in my opinion this is wrong. If you are listening Lil Uzi since LIR2 you can clearly tell that with EA he is a lot more consistent with his voice, while with the previous album he sounded monotone and really repetitive. Back to EA, a crucial part is played by the instrumental, the thing that probably surprised me the most: really catchy and creative. The songs flow smoothly from one to the other. The ony fact that is true is that in this album there isn't any sort of "particular" song which stands out compared to the others (the only exception might be P2), but, honestly, that's up to you and your style.
    In conclusion, i did really enjoy this album, it's Uzi's best project since LUV vs The World back in 2016. Very catchy and, honestly, enjoyable. I'm pretty sude, if it didn't got hyped all that much, people would like this album as much as i did.

    FAVOURITE SONGS: Baby Pluto, Silly Watch, Celebration Status, Chrome Heart Tags, Bust Me, Prices, Urgency, Venetia, P2 (and also the two bonus tracks)

    При прослушивании EA я испытал те же ощущения, что и при прослушивании Luv is rage 2 в 2017 году. Это новый Саймир, который всё так же держит планку, но на фоне долгого ожидания эмоции немного подпорчены. Так почему же 10? Если отбросить эти мучительные 3 года, то я получил альбом именно на 10(по меркам творчества узи). Однозначно будет на репите ближайший год.При прослушивании EA я испытал те же ощущения, что и при прослушивании Luv is rage 2 в 2017 году.

    Eternal Atake is a great trap album from Uzi. It's fun, it's ignorant and it's got great production. The only problem I have is the songs Bust Me and You Better Move. Neither of them are bad, I just find them quite boring. Those are the only songs that I'm not a fan of. Overall, great album, Can't wait to see what he releases next.

    The flows that Uzi has brakes the album into 3 different parts based on the character he is playing. Baby Pluto, the first character, is trap. Renji, the second, is more melodic. And Uzi, the third, uses his original flow. Altogether the album is incredibly made with skits at the end of songs and it uses them to make the songs flow together as if they are one.

    It's an amazing record from Uzi. The production and raps sound awesome. Even if there's only one feature, Uzi clearly doesn't need any. This album was so good.

    Can't believe I've heard some people don't like this album. Atake is arguably clearly his best work so far and has a unique theme of extraterrestrial activity throughout the end and beginnings of songs, and most obviously the cover.

    If you absolutely can not stand rappers who should be called singers then you need to take a hard pass on Vert, but if you occasionally (or more often than that) enjoy the crooning, Vert is at least someone who can put it together in a way that is surprisingly decent and occasionally quite good.

    There is no denying Lil Uzi Vert’s unconventional version of rap has been polarizing for the better part of the last five years yet Eternal Atake should be celebrated. He maneuvers within the cockpit of his comfort zone, navigating a galaxy of different genres while keeping the essence of rap at the forefront.
