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.

NME
On his journey to having a diverse sound, Trippie Redd has put out '!', a fitfully inspired album of soulful tracks that are a little rough around the edges.

The Guardian

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.

Pitchfork
Trippie Redd’s sprawling album is designed to show his versatility, but it’s not nearly wild enough to distract from its lack of coherent ideas.

! is more numbing than visceral. After it's done, it's hard to remember anything that was worth latching onto.

Me, jokingly, when the album started: trap died when the first kid said "trap's not dead!"

The Carti song really wasn't anything special. Trippie Redd removing that song from the album is him accepting failure as an artist. At this point, he doesn't control his own albums, the fans do.

Trippie Redd's "!" Managed to make me feel like I was high and floating which is pretty much all I ask for on an album like this, Production is a bit rough and lyrics are basic, but it has an aesthetic that is powerful. I felt good listening to this album and had no major issues with the album until "RIOT." It was a nice auto pilot drug trip.

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. After Trippie's close friend and collaborator XXXTENTACION ... read more
