This album is a complete mess. I give Cudi for trying something new and putting effort in it, and there are some really great songs in here but the Beavis and Butt-Head skits can ruin them and it is a really long record

The themes about imperfection, generational trauma, and not being defined by your past actions makes this a must hear.
