    not good, not bad. Pretty much what you'd expect as you hear uzi rehash the same on liners. Production is pretty good but lacking in lyrics

    The album overall was listenable, I don’t see myself listening to it again though, most tracks were repetitive and had really corny lyricism.

    Eternal Atake is the perfect example of how hype controls the audiences perception of quality. Lil Uzi has hyped this album up for years and it finally dropped, now if you're a Lil Uzi Vert fan, you must be pretty excited for this right? So you listen to it and it sounds great! Until you listen to it a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th time before realizing Uzi is rapping about the same surface levelEternal Atake is the perfect example of how hype controls the audiences perception of quality. Lil Uzi has hyped this album up for years and it finally dropped, now if you're a Lil Uzi Vert fan, you must be pretty excited for this right? So you listen to it and it sounds great! Until you listen to it a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th time before realizing Uzi is rapping about the same surface level things on nearly every song on this album. The beats and production on this album are thrown together and not really aesthetically pleasing in the slightest. I pointed to this earlier but it feels as though Uzi hasn't grown with his lyricism at all since his 2017 project. Rapping about bands, foreign whips, and bad lil **** on nearly every single song. While there are some good beats on this album (Prices, Secure the Bag) as I said they are all interchangeable with each other so a lot of the tracks sound the same. I personally do think that Uzi is the most overrated rapper in the game right now. I'm not saying he's bad but what I am saying is he hasn't done anything to warrant this amount of praise from the music community. I felt as though the sound that Lil Uzi has and the brand that he has created with that sound did not match how long the tracks were on this album. Nearly all of these tracks are three minutes long and while I was listening to this my third time through, heck even on my first time through I noticed that I was always waiting for the songs to cut off shorter. And I don't have a short attention span or anything but, I just felt as though Uzi was buying time to get to that 3 minute mark and I'm not exactly sure why. One thing should be made clear though, I did not hate this album, I just think a lot of what this album did was very average to below average which is very disappointing considering all of the hype this project got before even being released. When you boil it down this is a collection of songs with average lyrics, average beats, and average storytelling and for that reason Eternal Atake gets a 5/10.… Expand

    This highly anticipated album from lil uzi was good, but certainly not groundbreaking or impact changing. This project is well produced and sounds good halfway through. For a non-uzi fan it's too long and is similar sounding which adds to the run time. Tbh, Uzi didn't make this project for fans of rap he made it more fans of him. Which is fine but don't expect high praise from me and otherThis highly anticipated album from lil uzi was good, but certainly not groundbreaking or impact changing.

    I don't get the hype. It's an ok trap album but nothing more. Not that creative despite the bright album cover. It just doesn't do anything special. I like UZI, but after three years this was underwhelming. No real progression as an artist and uninspiring lyrics. "Bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bow, bah," "Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop," "Balenci', Balenci', Balenci', Balenci',I don't get the hype. It's an ok trap album but nothing more.

    I don't get it. There sure is much more exciting rappers out there, to get interested by this over blown record. Maybe they like the guy. Maybe they like it when it's funny. Nicolas Cage funny.

    This album is over hyped and not criticized enough. It has some serious problems and seems like just a bunch of rap songs somewhat themed into aliens and space. Then the deluxe is just 2 unrelated albums out together.

    The album has its moments, but Uzi’s over usage of this abrasive flow & production that isn’t very melodic; is an odd departure from past projects & falls flat.

    This album is a total disappointment after 2 and a half years. It lacks theme, uniqueness, sound, it feels inconsistent and just hard to listen. Imo a total disaster after Luv Is Rage 2. Of course it has some bangers, but mist of the songs seem boring and repetitive. Not cool Uzi, not cool all those fake critics review that gave this album a 100...

    Uzi held back for years and this is the culmination of his hard work? A few standout tracks but nothing to gush about. He needs better producers and a sharper eye for hooks.

    This is an extremely boring album to the point I was itching to turn in off by the time P2 came on. This album isn't fun, exciting or innovative. This album does nothing new and refuses to innovate on every track.

    So, let me take a guess. Embarrassed that they dismissed/ignored Rodeo, have decided to throw their weight behind every overhyped trap album on the off-chance that they get embarrassed once again.

    Anyways, this album isn't terrible, but it's nothing to write home about. Just a fairly mediocre listener. A handful of decent tracks, nothing much else to say.

    The production is crazy, but the style and lyrics are lazy. Tracks like P2 is like XO Tour No Llif3 and it doesn't make sense. Not worth the hype, neither the wait. It's not a must but you have to listen it.

    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.

    Even though it's a lengthy journey and some of the songs start to feel similar, nothing here is filler.

    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.
