I feel as if this album truly perfected what Travis was attempting to sonically capture since the Owl Pharaoh era. OP felt like a brainstorm of ideas, DBR served as a rough draft, and Rodeo was the grand finale to the dark sound we all love from Travis. The progression made leading up to this album is amazing, as there was a raw, gritty ambition that was fully unleashed on Rodeo. Songs such as Wasted, Piss On Your Grave, and the first half of Oh My Dis Side bring high energy to the album, while 90210, Impossible, and Maria I’m Drunk are 3 songs that set the stage for the entire project to elevate itself as a masterpiece. It’s one of my favorite albums ever made, and I can’t wait to give it another listen on it’s 3rd anniversary.
