About the album

Travis Scott named his third album after a defunct amusement park in his hometown of Houston, and that's as good a metaphor for the captivatingly stoned strangeness to be found on Astroworld as any. Arriving to rave reviews and a No. 1 debut on the U.S. Billboard album chart in August of 2018, Astroworld took the bleary-eyed, trap-damaged sound Scott established on Rodeo and Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight and spun it into a psyched-out, kaleidoscopic dystopian landscape that the MC hoped would sound like "taking an amusement park away from kids."

It's a credit to his vision that Astroworld's roster of high-profile guests (Frank Ocean, Drake, the Weeknd, James Blake, Juice Wrld and Philip Bailey of Earth, Wind & Fire among them) disappear into that landscape rather than dominating it. This is the Travis Scott record to beat.

"By emphasizing his vocal performances and finding the best middle ground he ever has with his bevy of superstar collaborators, he's made Astroworld a theme park worth revisiting whether you came in as a stan or a skeptic."
