I don’t agree with comparing albums to movies.

With movies; every scene, every camera movement, and every line of dialogue has a very specific motivation that feeds into the overarching story that takes place over the full movie, and many story beats created in the early parts of a movie aren’t resolved until the end.

Albums, on the other hand, are much different in that regard. There aren’t many albums that set up story beats/themes/song-elements in the first few songs that come back or resolve in the back end of the album.

In my opinion, comparing albums to TV shows make a whole lot more sense. Each episode contains a self contained story that can be watched on their own, but contain smaller elements that advance the entire story forward while keeping the theme of a season.

TL;DR

instead of

Album = movie
Scenes = Song

I think it makes more sense to say

Album = TV season
Episodes = Songs

I agree on Till Further Notice but I still think his verse fits nicely. All they needed to do was just extend the slower, darker parts.

Topia Twins is perfect the way it is. S*** is fun, catchy and everyone did their part. Especially jetskiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

We thinkin any other OG versions on the vinyl like how the CD got Fein OG?

Was Till further notice teased before release
21’s opening lines sounded familiar af like I heard it in a snippet before

It leaked a while ago

Oh makes sense then

Yes, you're right TV shows makes way more sense. And on that level, there's TV shows that follow a larger narrative and TV shows where each episode is self contained. Similar to how albums function.

I rate TV shows online but I also prefer to do that by season, I think ATP it's just preference. Was curious around that different process but it makes more sense now.

And on that idea, if I'm looking at a show where each episode is self contained I'd probably prefer to do episode by episode ratings; I guess the musical equivalent is mixtapes. Then with more through line narratives I'd do seasonal ratings (albums).

bro those lyrics

Man k-pop must be worst Travis song to date

I was about to name a worse track but you're right

Til further notice could have been left on Metro album or something

Yes that scene was CRAZY.

Ending on Telekinesis would have been

Yea

Legit worse than Guidance

Damn I love that one

sheck fien verse in cdq literal crack

Carti verse a bit longer too right?

Travis Scott Album rankings according to Metacritic

1. Astroworld - 85
2. Huncho Jack - 66
3a. Birds in the Trap - 64
3b. Rodeo - 64
5. Jackboys - 63
6. Utopia - 62

Idk how "Astro's" ranked higher than "Rodeo", but whatever.

My Eyes is God-level music

You go to Trav solely off production alone.

He's a vibe.

I don't f*** with music like this normally, but what gravitates me to Trav is his song structuring & how atmospheric his production is.

Aside from that, he ain't saying s***.

I need to revisit his 4 core albums today since I'm off.

listening to fein at 2:12 am on a weekday feeling manic af
