Elite hating from Alphonse y'all making me deadass sad whenever y'all can't appreciate greatness
I just can't get over Travis being the worst part of every song he's on. Dude is a great curator like his father but has no f***ing charisma or songwriting chops whatsoever. Dude may as well be AI.
for reference, I like Veeze but how is this album better than Utopia?
https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/veeze-ganger/
I’m not knocking but i’m geniuely curious as to how people think this album is better, I’d love to hear opinions
oh brother you know what you were doing with this post
they know niggas don’t care about print reviews anymore so they gotta pretend to hate s*** for site traffic
I'm 100% convinced that every person hating on the review didn't read it because even though I disagree with the grade he's basically 100% correct on everything that stops this album from going to what it is, a nice album, to a really great one.
And funnily enough he reached the same conclusions that people reached on the Utopia thread so what's up with this fake outrage ?
Most people listen to songs anyway rarely full albums.
Well what I’m saying is based on full album listens lmfao
Did you read the whole thread?
How is there not a real person at the core when theres songs on there like THANK GOD, MY EYES, PARASAIL?
The critic says Travis never once addresses the festival tragedy- he does implicitly and even explicitly throughout the entire thing. The whole message of the album in my eyes is that you "create your own UTOPIA" by choosing to focus on the good and not the bad. On Thank God he addresses the pressure he's putting on himself to follow up ASTROWORLD with an even better album, using the grammys as a motivating factor. On My Eyes he raps "If only they knew what Scotty would do to jump off the stage and save him a child." Which in my opinion, again reflects the idea of positive framing, he could have easily been like who bring a 9 year old to a concert where the rage is everywhere. On GOD"S COUNTRY, he raps that he has a 100k fans jumping and that they need space when they jam. I'm perhaps taking this too literally, but as the mechanism of the deaths was asphyxiation in a crowd crush for all 10 deaths, they were crushed because of a lack of space.
There's a bunch of other examples, but I'll use PARASAIL but to me, that song is literally therapy and using positive affirmations.
Those are some of my thoughts. If you need this guy's thread he's saying there is nothing thought provoking in Travis's lyrics. I disagree.
These mfs don’t listen or care to read the lyrics they just regurgitate the hate they see other people share online

Pitchfork is a c***enterprise
Score and review are accurate though. Album is just alright. Yeah the production is good, probably the best its ever been on a Travis Scott album. But this ain't an instrumental album. Gotta take into account everything else and when you do that's when you notice how run of the mill and vapid it all is. Just like most Travis Scott projects.

Lmao
Lmao I forget that a lot of Travis Scott fans are very young and haven't listened to a lot of music
I’m convinced that this low review was done for clout cause we talking more about pitchfork than we have in years.
“Meltdown” is diet “Sicko Mode.” But oh man Drake dissed Pharrell’s new office job! (OK, it was kind of funny.)
this had me crine. this nigga a wizard with the words
" But it also would be nice to have a water-cooler monocultural event, a conversation piece that you can talk about with anyone, anywhere. We need those albums that end all the widespread fear-mongering that rap is on a downward spiral just because it’s struggling to get a No. 1 hit this year, rap albums that become so ubiquitous in pop culture that when you look back at that moment in your life it will be inextricable."
