Sep 10, 2015Overall, Rodeo has plenty of bangers and noteworthy collaborations that help bring out a futuristic trap sound that could bleed into the mainstream of hip-hop in no time.
-
Sep 8, 2015With Rodeo, Travis Scott becomes a designer drug.
-
Oct 27, 2015Somewhere beneath all the hype and production he does shine through.
-
The SourceOct 20, 2015Rodeo deftly accomplished one thing: Scott's sound is cemented. [#267, p.93]
-
Sep 4, 2015Travi$ Scott made an enjoyable album for his fans peppered with undeniable bangers for his detractors.
-
Sep 4, 2015Rodeo's back end after “Antidote” begin to mesh together and gets repetitive.... Nonetheless, the originality of Scott’s sound within this new movement provides for a strong rookie effort leaving the listener excited for a career that is just getting started.
-
Sep 4, 2015It's just disappointing that in the midst of a year defined by monumental hip-hop albums, Travi$ Scott chose now as the time to come lukewarm.
-
Oct 23, 2015Yes, the production is razor sharp, the beats are skewed and often very loud which makes them feel important, but in reality, it's all a façade; an image.
-
Sep 16, 2015He is most effective when he harshly distorts his vocals to create texture, and in the company of others he can serve as a welcome change of pace.
-
Sep 4, 2015Left on his own, Scott can grow tiresome. "I Can Tell" sounds monochromatic without another voice to push this astute curator. Some rock stars are better leading bands than going solo.
-
Sep 10, 2015This is a cold, calculated record lacking in personality, though it certainly tries to deliver something that Scott is incapable of.
-
Sep 4, 2015His versatility, combined with a high-profile guest list, conspires against him; among 14 tracks, Scott conjures just a handful of moments that hint at untapped reserves of talent.
-
Sep 9, 2015Scott goes for spacey sounds, stoner vibes and vocal filters, but despite the eclecticism, he's too elusive and bland for Rodeo to amount to a stylistic--let alone a subversive--statement.
-
Sep 4, 2015Without rising above the sum of the parts brought together, Travis loses control of his own album and it ends up sounding like a collection of tracks from various artists with the loose theme of Travis Scott barely tying it all together.
-
Sep 8, 2015There’s a lack of personal narrative or identity on Rodeo, and Scott will often overcompensate for the hollowness of his music.
