Once again I disagree…but to each their own.
If this is ur argument tho that’s a couple songs out of how many? 18?

That not a lot lol

I think it’s the trap influence in the production that makes most ppl think that. And his use of adlibs which surprisingly cudi pulled off nice

not with those adlibs..

well id have to go back and relisten for sure but i rmb a lot of this on the 1st and 2nd act and partly the 4th

btw as of now (track 6) i'm liking entergalactic's take on modern music a lot more

Adlibs are a very small part of a song lol

Only one song on there is trap and that’s cuz of pop smoke and skepta mainly. Too many people hear hard 808s and drums and consider it trap. Trap music is actually about trapping lol. That’s just modern production.

Like Travis isn’t actually a trap rapper lol

they're still a cudi son-defining feature

So adlibs overpower the beat, flow & lyrics?

The film was actually very good, there is some actual magic and potential in the cast there… I think this could very well be a full on show with a bigger budget

Highly enjoyed it, the only part I didn’t like too much was the ending, I think it coulda ended with a bigger bang

Solid 7.5/10 - 8/10

It’s also like, how much are you really thinking about the music/writing/vocals/production and taking it in if the second you hear trap drums, you write it off

Similar thing happened with Vince Staples self titled album. People said it had too many songs with trap drums but if the only thing between you liking the song is trap drums or boom bap drums then how much are you really taking in the other elements

Do what I want and new mode have trap style drums but synth wise, bass wise, vocally are so solid

i wouldn't say that, but when listening they do stick out as an element which defines "new cudi" over "old cudi" (vocally)

this was a good album idk what motm3 even was

Give MOTM3 another go after f***ing with this.

I feel like this and that are operating on so much of the same style, you could drag and drop songs from either project onto the next

I get not liking either but I can’t see many people loving one and not the other

You might like it more now

Wish I was feeling this album more

Let’s be honest a lot of music listeners with hiphop/rap music base almost their whole opinion of why they do or do not enjoy a song based off the beat. If you have it in ur head that you don’t want cudi over modern or “trap” production. The second you hear the beat drop ur going to be disappointed.

Maybe so gets me in my feels

Beautiful ass song

So this is a movie? Tf is going on man lol

yeah its a movie split into chapters
tbh there's potential for spin offs depending how cudi feels about it

GOAT

Yeah it’s the song that’s really been sticking to me emotionally especially since I’m dealing with a break up

5 tracks in all slap

Yeah it really sounds like a soundtrack, Scott

Guillermo a real one
the Shape of water and Pan's Labyrinth some of my favorite films

PPDS sounds like an evolved MOTM and that's probably why it's his best album
