I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85
Tinashe is getting much more exposure in 2024 and I'm so happy for her. Before I get to her latest album, I thought I'd review this album. This album is short at only 7 songs. The album gets off to a beautiful start with "Treason". "Talk To Me Nice" has a really nice bounce to it. "Needs" might be the best song. I love its chorus. The production on this album is pretty uniform. Her singing is great as usual too. Ultimately this is a terrific album but not quite as good as her album 333. I liked every song...even "Uh Huh" which is kinda slow but still executed well. Lyrics 23 Beats 22 Depth 25 Tilt 23 Verdict 93
