Speedin' is an uncomfortably internal album that's a pleasurable listen.
Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven is ultimately messy, challenging, and rough around the edges (perhaps more so than anything Scott has ever released), but there’s also something about it that’s admirably unique.
Is Kid Cudi serious? This is the first thing I asked myself listening to Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven, and it's not as snide a question as it sounds; it's genuinely hard to tell.
The album seems made by someone unable to find the lightning in a bottle that was so impressive and entrancing on his first two LPs. Furthermore, much of the album seems disjointed with nothing but Beavis and Butthead interludes tying together the tracks.
There’s no joy in the fact that Cudi’s latest, Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven, is a difficult listen, meandering, and bland.
Kid Cudi goes grunge and it doesn't go well.
Funny enough the fact that nobody aperantly likes this album makes it stronger. Kid Cudi is pouring his soul out saying that he's in complete pain and everyone was like "nah this shit sucks, 0."
Like even on a technical level I don't get how this can be a 0. Like is Fantano going to try and tell me that a 6ix9ine album or a Logic album somehow is a stronger project than this? Like somehow this is the most offensive release of the 2010's. I'm sorry if I sound kind of bitter but I ... read more
Fuck it, I'll say it, SB2H is beautiful. And very meaningful and nostalgic for me.
REVIEW REPOST #044. I repost my old reviews, which got no attention, with updated thoughts. Posted this review two and a half years ago (one of my first reviews), but I'm posting it again.
I'll say that if you never had depression before, you most likely won't understand this album. It's really raw, and emotional, and reflects what Cudi was feeling at that time perfectly. The punk and grunge nirvana-inspired ... read more
In a traditional sense, the album is repetitive, boring, and rudimentary beyond belief. However I expected it to be completely unlistenable. I don’t find it to be that. It truly is shit, but in the background it sounds like a crazy weird man mumbling about his problems. Listen to something else, please
Are the Beavis and Butthead skits corny? Yes. Is The Nothing the worst Kid Cudi track EVER? Also yes.
I feel like Speedin Bullet 2 Heaven is definitely overhated as well, I mean, its not necessarily a great album by any chance but its definitely not one of the worst too. Every once in a while i come back to this album, and if im being honest, its actually kind of growing on me.
i know im gonna get hate for this score, but im standing on this. its one of those album that clicks with u if ur really goin through some shit. its definitely rough and not perfect but its also raw and vivid.
