Biggest cultural impact of any album in the last decade so I'd say its a classic regardless of your personal opinion of it

its one of the last albums that really was a moment as a whole album. the spectacle. the hidden features. everyone remembers their first listen. 100% a classic

It's a good album, not great. I feel like the events surrounding the album were more interesting than the album itself. I still bump Astrothunder and RIP Screw tho

Yea but Rodeo is better

Yes yet somehow UTOPIA is gonna be even bigger and better 🌍

i’ll always think of it as a classic era but the album doesn’t stack up to rodeo in terms of replay-ability besides 6-8 tracks

some of trav’s best work on there but not enough long-standing impact or influence to be a classic album

i’d push for the classic status just out of spite towards all the contrarian plebs who try to act like birds is better tho lmao

Yes, and UTOPIA will be better

this kind of take makes me think twice about mine ngl^

that first listen was a moment

I mean you can call it that if you want to. Doesn't mean it is but you do you.

Since it’s release? Possibly

Since a decade ago? (2013)

Yeezus, TPAB, Views, Rodeo, could all arguably be above AW tbh and that’s just off the top of my head

he’s had consistently good albums i just wouldn’t consider any of them classics

sure but birds is still better and astroworld is aging poorly (musically)

Can I say Asstroworld again

If the music is not good how is it a classic?

Pootopia soon come

nope

Since its release tbh I didnt do the math

wait what am i missing. remind me of the era

People died

"It's a good album, not great. I feel like the events surrounding the album were more interesting than the album itself...."

I swear, you perfectly described how I felt about Tha Carter 3 when it came out in June of 2008, lol

dawg travis scott is f***ing travis scott. birds had goosebumps, and everyone was anticipating astroworld. the way he built up hype was so cool. on dark knight dummo (a hit) "astroworld, my planet, my home", he performed a 1 min snippet of stargazing at rolling loud, all of his loosies were heat (green&purple, a man, WATCH and ofc butterfly effect), there was 2 years between albums, travis is with kylie, hes just really that dude especially with some cool features here and there (culture, trippie, fingers blue, etc)

he was just that guy and the hype was huge. the features were HIDDEN so it truly was an immersive and surprising first listen. akademiks sicko mode meme super viral. everyone was on the album. then theres the iconic tour (not the fest), the doc which was very good, the legacy of the theme park, theres just so many elements that made it special!

It was a moment but looking at the tracklist there is almost no song I still wanna play
