    She’s made a forward stride with a story of indignation and despondence like little else we’ve heard in hip-hop.

    Megan is her own best advocate, and Traumazine is a testament to this principle. Elsewhere, Megan displays her penchant for bringing out the best in her collaborators, molding herself to bring out the most recognizable aspects of their style.

    Traumazine is an album that leaves you reeling slightly, both impressed and strangely grateful – convinced of Megan Thee Stallion’s brilliance, and glad you’re not on the receiving end of it.

    A thrill ride of a listen, a motley mix of slick bops and searing confessionals that wonderfully encapsulate all of her various vibes.

    Traumazine is a success in its own right, solidifying her position amongst rap’s big stars of the 2020s.

    As a concept album, Traumazine is uneven. But as an embodiment of the phrase “healing isn’t linear,” its significance couldn’t be more clear.

    Megan displays more vulnerability on “Anxiety” than she ever has before, letting the person behind the swagger show. ... Megan’s attempts at pop and R&B crossover are less successful. Traumazine’s production, full of cavernous piano chords and punchy 808s, finds a sweet spot that’s mainstream enough to appeal to a wide audience while still threatening to blow out your woofers.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Boring, Megan hasn't grown as an artist. The title of the song is only captured in 3-4 songs out of 18. The rest she's just talking of the same old thing, iykyk....ah! Expand
