Pitchfork Review Travis Scott Utopia
Travis Scott fans are easy to upset.
Travis Scott came through with his fourth studio album on Friday, titled Utopia. Overall, this album is an expansive blockbuster rap album with the who’s who of music. Features include the likes of Future, SZA, 21 Savage, Drake, Playboi Carti, and a whole host of others. Ultimately, this album is a whole lot different than what we are used to from Travis. Instead of giving us another Astroworld, he decided to delve deeper into the sounds of his past. In fact, he even makes numerous references to his work on Kanye West’s Yeezus.
With all of that being said, not everyone is a fan of this new album. Sure, Travis Scott’s biggest supporters love it, but his biggest critics have just gotten a whole lot more fodder for their convictions. For many, the album feels like an obvious attempt at being window-dressing. Moreover, some don’t see the album as being a good use of features when compared to how Kanye curates his projects. This is an opinion that was expressed by Pitchfork writer Alphonse Pierre. Pierre gave the album a 5.7 out of 10, making this the publication’s lowest-rated Scott album.

Travis Scott fans are much like any other stan group on Twitter in the sense that they will do anything to defend their guy. They will not stand for slander, and that is exactly what took place in the early hours of Monday morning. Below, you can see many bringing up Pierre’s previous reviews of big rap album releases. Additionally, some even questioned his hip-hop knowledge. In defense, Pierre is a great writer with vast knowledge of the genre. At the end of the day, many music fans take reviews personally, which leads to these attacks.
Reactions
That said, it is clear that Utopia is a polarizing project. For the most part, it is considered an Album Of The Year contender. However, for those who want a bit more from their superstars, this falls flat. Let us know your thoughts on Utopia, in the comments section below.
