Travis Scott - Utopia (July 28th, 2023) Album

Probably the biggest hip-hop release of the year (that we know of), for better or for worst. Coming out this week alongside a film, Circus Maximus, against Post Malone's Austin.

 

Insane list of directors helped direct that movie, might have to check it out

 

Hmm, thinking of getting tickets for that. They added more showtimes

 

Bring back the Fortnite skin pls

 

I'm keeping my hopes high for this

 

19 songs with KPOP being one of them. Looks like it’ll actually be out tonight

 

lmao that’s me right now

 

Just saw Circus Maximus bc of the directors involved.


Save your money.

 

…are the songs good at least?

 

I actually preferred the visuals (which were still mostly underwhelming) but I'm not a huge Travis fan tbf. Gaspar Noe and Harmony Korine are what interested me. I also have AMC Alist so I went and watched The Haunted Mansion and then iust jumped into Circus Maximus afterwards.

 

Maybe I'm not the right person to ask. Looked online a little just now and people seem to be enjoying it.

 

Features:

Swae Lee on “Sirens”
Drake on “Meltdown”
Playboi Carti on “Fien”

This sounds so much like a Kanye album that it's giving me uncanny valley lol

 

this is pretty underwhelming so far

that new Carti voice is wild

 

Okay, in addition to production from West and Dean and similar features (Bon Iver), "God's Country" and "Telekinesis" are literally Kanye demos so I'm not far off lol

This is not for me, but "Lost Forever" rules.

 

Meltdown is my favorite so far

Fein is great. Looove is cool too, even if it feels like Kanye West - Fade part 2

 

most of this isn’t for me either

few songs here and there but that’s about it

talk about a letdown

 

wtf is Modern Jam

album is so perplexing

 

Travis Scott listens to Yeezus once

 

Pretty good album

 

am I tripping or is my eyes a Japanese house sample or interpolation of some sort lol

 

There’s A LOT going on here, feels very messy and very much indebted to Yeezys/Pablo era Kanye.

Not terrible by any means, at least it’s not the appropriation cosplay Post puts out.

 

The album is fine? It almost sounds too much like Kanye at times to the point that it detracts from the overall album.
