"No one is talking about Astroworld on here?"


          

It's got some songs on it.
I like Astrothunder with Thundcat a lot. Sounds like UTQC era Flylo.
I'm a big Kevin Parker fan - Skeletons is a nice song.
I like the Frank and Nav features.
Coffee Bean and Yosemite are good.
Though Stop Trying to be God is really the only song I like Travis on.

I think Scott is a great producer, I would probably like this album
a lot more if it was an instrumental album. I'm not big on Travis as a vocalist.

But damn if he doesn't create great sounding tracks.

...and I'm generally not a fan of this subgenre, but this album is some of the best music I've heard in a while.

I like the combo of him and Mike Dean. They make some really clean, complex and layered tracks. This is some nuanced, sophisticated stuff musically. I like how Travis uses his own vocals, and others as an instrument.

The Houston homages are the icing on the cake. I can go on and on...

As a child born in West Louisiana I went to Astroworld a lot as a kid.

I caught "Coffee Bean" first go round it being the last track and all, but "Astrothunder" is my shit and I didn't even notice it first time

I know dude gets in trouble for inciting riots but I'd rather hear him go the toro y moi route lol

dope album though, I gotta lock it in next listen but "Astrothunder"

more replay value than birds

PEACE LOVE and MONEY

...some of which have been more mainstream fare, which i'm just noticing

i remembered thinking this when i heard "birds in the trap" and i felt it again upon bumping astroworld: TS as a rapper doesn't work as well w/o TS the producer for me. He reminds me of Kanye as an overall arranger, as somebody who has interesting ideas for song structure and musical switches and changeups
