Dec 8, 2015 The guitar is brutal throughout this trash. He just picked it up, strummed aimlessly and wailed over it. Plus he has access to a real studio, so why does this sound like he recorded it in his bedroom into a laptop mic?
Dec 8, 2015 that is such absolute horseshit it's insane i understand not liking the album, but this is such a blatant lie.
Dec 8, 2015 That was honestly one of the worst records I've heard in the last couple years. I really struggled to get through the main disc.. but once.. I got into the demos, probably 3 tracks in and turned it off. Tf Cudi? Anyone who thinks this album is decent let alone mediocre is in deep deep denial.
Dec 8, 2015 4 out of 5 stars on Billboard. Cudi GOAT http://www.billboard.com/articles/review/6792578/kid-cudi-speedin-bullet-2-heaven-album-review
Dec 8, 2015 I really tried looking for one, but i can't name ONE bad song on here.. pls prove me wrong
Dec 8, 2015 You're wrong that one is hilarious. Go back and listen to it more, i'm sure it'll grow on you as well
Dec 8, 2015 They compared the title track to Kanye, Kendrick & Drake: "The title track is the kind of song that Kanye would use as a soundbed to bigger ideas, sandwiched in between harsher notes and tones and clicks and clacks from other places; it's the type of foundation Kendrick Lamar would layer with aggressive modulations and angry crashes; something Drake would have Noah "40" Shebib elongate and screw and submerge under a fog of vaporous atmospherics."
Dec 8, 2015 I've tried, it's a funny listen but an awful song overall, too repetitive for too long. everything else is incredible
Dec 8, 2015 "Speedin' is an uncomfortably internal album that's a pleasurable listen. It's not as gleefully nihilistic as Future, but comes across just as revelatory. And it's more pointed than the fabricated faux-rebellion of Travi$ Scott. "I always end up back in the cycle of shame / Looking in the mirror is hard / Some days I hurt myself to distract me from distractions / That's madness fixing sadness," Cudi confesses on "Confused!" The kid is not alright, but the music is."
Dec 8, 2015 "Cudi's experimentation with mind-altering substances has been part of his DNA since day one; alienation and internal turmoil remain integral parts of his motif. But Speedin' is more well-formed than anything he's done before in his genre experimentation, even eliciting a throwback to MTV's ‘90s heyday down to its running commentary from Beavis and Butthead, courtesy of Mike Judge. The album wouldn't sound out of place on a re-airing of Alternative Nation, and it's a smart move -- by embracing punk mores, Cudi sidesteps deep scrutiny. Speedin' is about message, not methodology: expression, not execution."
Dec 8, 2015 I listened to this....today To see if I still feel I focus, on the pain The only thing, that's real The vocals tear a hole The old familiar sting Try to forget it, ever happened But I remember everything What have you become My favorite artist Everyone I stan Becomes s--- in the end And you could have had it all Your empire turned to dirt You have let me down You have left me hurt You wear a crown of thornes Upon your liars chair Full of wasted potential You can not repair Beneath the stains of time Your career has disappeared You are someone else I am still right here And you could have had it all Your empire turned to dirt You have let me down You have left me hurt If you could start again A million miles away You'd f--- it all up again You would find....a way.
