In this post, I will be reviewing Travis Scott's long-awaited album: Utopia. I will be rating each track out of ten, and then rating the entire album out of 190. (Since there are 19 tracks and each is being rated out of 10, so a perfect score would be 190/190.) But I will also rate the album out of 10 for simplicity's sake. I also have comments/notes on some tracks, but not all. Also, this is just MY OPINION, so please don't take it to heart, I'm just an average listener.

1. HYAENA: 6/10: Flow was good, production was great. Good start to the album.
2. THANK GOD: 8/10 Synths were amazing, and the build-up and chorus were also good.
3. MODERN JAM: 6/10, nothing too crazy.
4. MY EYES: 8/10: Beat change was great, the first part was okay, but the second part went hard.
5. GOD’s COUNTRY: 5/10 it could be me but the La, La, La was kinda annoying.
6. SIRENS: 7/10, It was good, Intro/hook was really catchy.
7. MELTDOWN: 7.5/10 Drake delivered
8. FE!N: 6/10
9. DELRESTO (ECHOES) Beyonce adds nice to the song, but I’ll give it a 7/10. It’s groovy.
10.I KNOW ?: 7/10, pretty simple beat, but the verses and the chorus were catchy.
11. TOPIA TWINS: 6/10. Some of Rob’s lines were a bit out of place, but it was decent. 21 Savage had a solid verse, nothing too crazy though. The chorus was also great.
12. Circus MAXIMUS: 7/10
13. PARASAIL:8/10
14. SKITZO: 7.5/10 Mentions Eminem., YE over BIDEN (Interesting line)
15. LOST FOREVER: 6/10, I enjoyed the first half better.
16. LOOOVE: 6/10
17. KPOP:6/10 It’s a danceable pop vibe, just mellow and warm.
18. TELEKINESIS: 8/10
19. TIL FURTHER NOTICE: 8.5/10, Amazing production.
OVERALL RATING: 130.5/190
Rating out of ten: 7.5/10
There are some good songs, but there really is only 1 skip (GOD'S COUNTRY). But the vibe is there. However, I think that it really wasn’t worth the wait. Most of the features on there could’ve just given more. There also isn’t a song on there that is a smash hit, most of the songs on there are at the same level. But does give a nice fresh movement to the music genre as a whole. There are so many gaps/holes in music right now, especially in Hip-Hop/Rap, but I think Utopia definitely filled one of those holes. My personal favorites off the album are MY EYES, TILL FURTHER NOTICE, and TELEKINESIS. I like the mentions of the songs, such as Messi and Tom Brady, and a subtle diss to Timothee Chalamet.
In conclusion, the album is a great listen, and the number of tracks on it is perfect, the production of most songs had their uniqueness, but maintained to have the same mood. If you haven't listened to it, definitely check it out.
