    Overall production is fantastic. However, Travis is so outdone by all of the features that its hard to even give him the full credit/hype of the album. Also, I can appreciate the influence from Yeezus and MBDTF but it is slightly too much at times.

    Levando em conta que tinha uma expectativa imensa de anos, talvez esse seja o pior álbum do Travis, muitos feats e nada memorável, é um álbum esquecivel

    A bit of a hit and miss for me. There are stil some amazing songs here. Circus Maximus and My Eyes are two of my favourite Travis Scott songs ever, however, Utopia is riddled with boring and uninspired songs and features. I found myself really bored in the second leg of the album. If Travis were to scrap this half and build Utopia from the ground up using the first half it would eventuallyA bit of a hit and miss for me. There are stil some amazing songs here.

    People overating this album. Many Travis fans will call me a casual but come on this album is mid at best. Many songs are mid with a few exceptions as there are really great songs. But it has so many bland songs and travis really gets carried by the production. I believe that travis cant really make an album better than rodeo.

    Utopia production was really cool,but I think he fell flat with some songs and letting features carry he's beat, the album is far from perfect.

    Don’t get me wrong, the production is pretty good, but the lyrics seriously lack identity. Think of all the previous hits from previous albums like “goosebumps”, “oh my dis side”, “antidote”, “beibs in the trap” and so on. Many of these hits and many others all have identity, in the sense you remember them, each track from his earlier albums like “Rodeo” Birds in the trap sing McKnight”Don’t get me wrong, the production is pretty good, but the lyrics seriously lack identity.

Many of these hits and many others all have identity, in the sense you remember them, each track from his earlier albums like “Rodeo” Birds in the trap sing McKnight” feel like a new experience. This used to be what I was most excited about, the fact that you didn’t know what to expect from the first song to the next, it was all much more unique and original - crazy hooks, addictive choruses. As you compare “Utopia” to Travis Scott’s earlier work, you can’t help but feel disappointed of what it could have been. It’s like he pulled a Jay-Z in lyrics department, by coming up with the lyrics on the spot, but it differs to Jay-Z, because Jay-Z could make it amazing, Travis clearly can’t. He’s lucky that his production is top notch, because that’s what’s carrying this album to above irrelevancy. To think that he had 5 years to work on this album, and this bland material is what he ended up with, says a lot about his artistry. It seems he only focused on production and hoped everything else would form by itself. Seems more like a money grab, than actual effort, where is the hunger?! This is unfortunately what happens to a lot of artists when they make it big, they don’t bother as much compared to earlier work, because they already got the house, cars and girl they want. What a joke.… Expand

    Some of the best production I have heard in a long time. My Eyes is the best sounding track of the year and I don’t think it’s close but the depth of the album is lacking in every direction. Doesn’t have a strong message or the best of anything whether it be rager music or trap beats. Still enjoyable but nowhere close to his best work. 6/10.

    Nevertheless, while it’s difficult to get past the wording of Travis Scott’s “Astroworld” follow up, the instrumental completeness and overall energy is difficult to forget.

    There are experiments with ambience, risky beat switches, theatrical and hook-free pop, and orchestration that Scott has never attempted before. The multi-platinum guest features might set the album up for global conquest, but the most exciting moments come when it sounds like Scott is discovering a new way to push his craft forward.

    The beats sometimes bang in typical trap fashion, like on Topia Twins or Meltdown, but are not afraid to go surreal and alien.
