the voice cracks and inflections on tracks can be bad in a not so charming way sometimes, the production isnt flattering, and his singing is bad in a good amount of this album, you would think saying that all I'd give this a bad rating? no the messiness and unflatteringness make this a raw and beautiful album, 2018 version misses alot of the raw strength this one has it's imperfect in almost every way but it feels so naked, I'm left tearing up 9.7/10
edit 10/10
42 -> 72
this does need the context of the movie to work a lot better but generally I slowly enjoyed and appreciated this way more over time, it isn't cudi's greatest work but I really do appreciate it.
