    One of the best hip-hop albums of the year for me! She definitely took in all the criticism from the last one and came together with a fresh production to make something more personal. I like it when we get an insight into the artist I'm listening to and Traumazine is definitely that! Congrats Meg.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From suffering to rebirth. Inspired by the endorsement of Jay-Z's Roc Nation and Beyoncé's "Renaissance," the young Houston rapper knows how to rise from her own ashes. she is tough, stern, and angry at a recording industry that wants to exploit her for money. But she won't stand for it. In songs, written as if it were a very personal narrative, she makes it clear that after the death of her parents and a stifling record contract, Thee Stallion is reborn and brings her essence to the world. An album to be enjoyed, even if you don't like hip-hop.… Expand

    I normally don't listen to artists like Megan Thee Stallion (it was never my type of music growing up), but after hearing songs like WAP and Sweetest Pie, I decided to give the album a listen. I am very glad that I did because the album sounds amazing.

I am very glad that I did because the album sounds amazing. Some reviews say that the album feels similar to her previous work, which I am not sure is true because I have not listened to her prior bodies of work. The album feels fresh and new to me, so it gets a high score from me. I will say I was not a fan of the singles the first time I heard them, and listening to the album it doesn't feel representative of the sound Traumazine has. Standout tracks are Not Nice, Anxiety, NDA, and Flip Flop… Expand

    I love Megan's personality but I must admit the name and way she described the album made me doubt her. But, after listening she made a fool out of me and I am not mad about it. The album is unexpected in the best way. Megan was able to combine substance without losing replay value. If you are a fan of rap you will enjoy this project a lot. It one of the best albums of 2022 so far.

    Strength lies in simplicity. Pretty complete, acceptable amount of collabs, isn't too short, isn't too pop, isn't too traumatized, about what I was scared for. 9/10 because of „Sweetest pie”, it shouldn't be on this album.

    Traumazine is a all around 10/10. When listening we get an insight inside of Megan's mind and all of the things she has gone through. Her delivery is very good and nothing sounds the same and the dip into different genres is lovely.

    Giving 10's where 10's are due. Perfect combination of personal, emotional music and fun, dance music. Do not play with Ms. Megan.

    Traumazine is definitely one of Megan’s BEST album Competing with some of her all time best such as Tina Snow and Fever, Traumazine offered something different that we haven’t seen in Meg yet!

    Megan herself does not lag behind, changing the movement of music from the synth "NDA" to the club "Her" and the rnb sound "Not Nice", while the reading is excellent as always, and the softening in the tracks is much cleaner than in the debut album.
    In the end, "Traumazine" may have become the more pop side of Thee Stallion, but it gave her more opportunities to reach her potential and a vibe that is more noticeable than on the rap artist's debut record, and the release accompanying problems with the label on which she is gives album, the confrontation that Megan Thee Stallion herself personifies.    … Expand

    One of the best rap albums out at the moment. This album is angry, raw, cathartic! NDA and Budget are great. One of the best MCs out there at the moment.

    Traumazine is the first Megan Thee Stallion album i wanted to listen to, and it certainly wasn't the best experience i've had with her music. This album's songs can be painfully similar to each other to the point where they sound like Part 2s. Some songs provide slightly more personal lyricism, but it doesn't feel like she is being entirely open with listeners?

    Despite its occasional unevenness, the album is exciting in both its moments of audience-tested hitmaking and when Megan cracks the veneer of her invincible persona to share feelings that are difficult, messy, and real.
