Plastic Beach too high, one of their worst albums tbh
Nailed Cosmogramma tho good s***
could not imagine listening to empire ants and then calling plastic beach one of their worst albums
rebirth also not that bad and a lot of the hate is just because its wayne doing it.
no, its really that bad.
Def influenced a lot of people.
Uzi Carti Trippy Redd Thug etc.
Uzi biggest song is basically a copy of “I’ll die without you“ from Rebith deluxe.
I listened to that trash, it’s not XO TOUR llif3 level bro
prom queen and knockout not much different from demon high
Demon High is like his worst song
I listened to Flylo discography before so I did play Pattern+grid world
Kill your coworkers is great one of his best songs
I like how this EP is a little weirder and trippier than Cosmogramma but I don’t have much to say about it so I won’t review it
Not as good as Cosmogramma but a nice B sides project

Day 10: Kid Cudi - Man On The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager
I don't think I need to tell you how great this album is, but I'll try. This is peak performance, darkness, aesthetic, production, vision, personality, and most importantly a peak 2010 album. A theme that appears in every 2010 album so far is, they're all overproduced. But for this album it just hits different. This was just so different than anything at the time and being dark, over the top and dramatic just felt authentic for Cudi. Making this album about inner demons with horror themes, cool flows, catchy hooks, harmonies and production that goes into indie and alt rock sounds, with pretty much 3 intros and 3 amazing outros (All Along, Ghost! and Trapped in my mind).
I won't be surprised if this album put a lot of ppl into hip hop who wouldn't be originally. It's simple enough lyrically but with strong emotion and a subversion of genres as far as Cudi's performance on these songs and the production he chooses. The 2010 type songs here like Ashin Kutcher and Wild'n cuz I'm young still slap. Marijuana and Mojo So Dope are top tier songs to listen to while high. Mr. Rager is one of my favorite songs ever. Erase Me is nostalgia (despite the corny Kanye verse).
Really this whole album slaps today and stayed with me all these years. I think it has a lot of heart and one of the first "aesthetic" based rap albums that really worked. I think people who were looking for rap skills were disappointed by Cudi at the time. Or thought he was corny. Despite everything it passed the test of time. So many new rappers say their inspirations are MOTM and MOTM2.
Listening to it again actually made me realize this might be one of the best ever to me personally. 10/10
We need to restore the feeling..............
Lmao cmon man
Real asf
MOTM 2 was definitely AOTY 2010 but niggas not gonna say that
Niggas sure ain’t
Listening to Beach House - Teen Dream
Wanted a snoozer today, huh? I respect that.
could not imagine listening to empire ants and then calling plastic beach one of their worst albums
Empire Ants is fire but the album is generally inconsistent and poorly put together. A few standout songs isn't enough to make it one of their best, esp with a catalogue as good as theirs

one of their worst albums?
they are a bit overrated but i think the attention to it is for the wrong reason. i think a large part of their strength (and why they're so over-acclaimed) is because they were a product of the sounds/topics of their time. there's definitely musical talent and ingenuity there, i dont think thats deniable (regardless of their often over-reliance on collaborations), but their music is very specific to the musical time period its from and happened to age well almost inadvertently. Most of what they did best was essentially create a soundscape and backing vibes for collaborators to do their thing on where they fit well. They were lucky enough to exist at a time where they could mix like alt rock and hip hop and be able to collab with people in their prime in both categories. When they came back in 2017, I think this is why their music quality took such a hit in comparison to their prior <2010 days, like now they're back and attempting to do their whole mirroring musical norms thing doesnt really work when youre focusing on like pop. The elements of it back then were more novel and the music was more unique for its time, now its kind of just like DJ Khaled but artsy
