Feel like the world was in a weird ass place to accept this album

fantano gave it a 0 and niggas ran with it

Horrible horrible lyrics

Trash

I love Cudi, but I deadass don’t know how people can hear a lot of lyrics on this album and be like “damn why do people forreal hate this album?”

And the actual quality of the rock music on this isn’t all that either.
Not to mention it’s extremely bloated, it should’ve been his shortest album rather than his longest. 26 tracks is nuts

nobody would call it classic if it came out today

Normally I would agree but people are out here calling let's start here a classic so here we are

@scottafe @scott @scottab someone get on it

I thought we wanted a Kid Cudi album not a diet Nirvana album

When it hits it hits But I understand the poor reception to this album and I wouldnt defend it really. However some of my favourite Cudi tracks is on this

That’s kind of what I meant by the not “good enough” for rock fans bit. Yeah of course it was too long and needed editing, and I can see how maybe some of the technical aspects would put off someone who is really into rock

But that’s also kind of part of the disconnect, it’s like rap fans judged it as a rap album, rock fans judged it as a rock album, and both kind of lead to a harsh perception. It’s probably best looked at as an actual outsider record

I don’t like every song but I don’t think there’s that much wrong with the production, it’s not like it’s supposed to be polished. Generally don’t think the writing and performances are that bad either, a few of the heavier tracks I don’t like as much but I think cudi’s vocals and lyrics on the album are good

Also as far as the attachment, the lyrics play a big part of that, it’s a whole concept album about death and suicidal thoughts. I relate to the whole thing heavily and I think that’s always part of why people like cudi

Its a meme to like this album. he took like two months of guitar lessons and thought he was a rockstar

not true
cudi started playing with the guitar around WZRD era

true but it just gives me that vibe when i listen to the album

ill listen to this bih front to back today and post how i feel since i haven't touched that thing in years

fantano also came around to the album

Confused & SB2H is cool but if you listen to a Nirvana album and then come back to this it’s like ok what are we doing here

Melting still a top-tier Cudi song

Let’s Start Here is obviously better

Everyone thought this was the worst album by a rapper till Chance stepped up

But y’all ain’t gonna try and convince me The Return of Chip Douglas isn’t one of the worst pieces of music ever made
