Although those untargeted croons and messy arrangements don’t allow ! to be a perfect album nor Trippie’s best work, the album is definitely worth a stream for listeners already sold on today’s genre-bending landscape.
Compellingly unpredictable, ! is doubtless part of the genre’s forward march – but it’s hard to get past the sense that White has sacrificed a coherent artistic identity in the name of progress.

The vocals are processed as all hell, and it just sounds nice. It is like a druggy dream.
Trippie Redd Discography Dive #5
All I can say is I'm thoroughly disappointed. It's not even bad, it's just after his last few projects being so great.. this just doesn't do it for me. Trippie goes in a more rap heavy direction on here, which is okay, I like some of his rapping, but I don't like how he almost completely gets rid of his more melodic flows and singing, which is part of what made his music so unique in the first place.
