Cole goes all out on this one. This is one of the only albums I can say was truly worth the wait. Cole genuinely just enters flow state on some of the songs and never goes out. He quite literally not only smashes all 2026 albums, he smashes most 2020s albums too. This is definitely on par with stuff like TFS and Mr. Morale. There is so much great about this album, that it's unexplainable .
Top 5 songs:
5: The Fall-Off Is Inevitable
4: Two Six
3: Poor Thang
2: SAFETY
1: 39 Intro
A top 3 Don Toliver album currently. I did expect more from this album, but I can say that I enjoyed it a lot, though on some of the songs Don just does not fit the pace and so they fall off. This album could've been a lot better but it's definitely enough to get bumped for a week or two.
Travis came back after 5 years and decided not to fuck around. UTOPIA is definitely a top 3 Travis album of all time and it is not debatable by any means. Travis offers some really insane songs on here like MY EYES and I KNOW ? as well as the fact that Travis also is diverse on this album. The features on this album are absolutely amazing too. I could keep glazing this forever but I'm not going to because there is just no reason.
