Man this album is real good. Beautiful vocals from James, experimental instrumentation, solid vocals, the whole shabang. Probably my favourite album of his (yeah I prefer it over Overgrown and James Blake). But I gotta say I'm really not a fan of the cover. James just looks really awkwardly placed on it and doesn't feel like he's in the scene he's portraying. Also the missing parts of him revealing his body's colour is just unappealing to me. Its brightness is too low to me and makes what I ... read more
I do have to say the way Jayli delivers her vocals is very similar to something you'd find on an Alessia Cara song. So on that front, there is quite a bit left to be desired in terms of wanting a more unique voice. But with that said, that's really my only critism! The production was very good, and so was the messaging of the EP as well! Can't wait to see where the future of Jayli Wolf's music goes from here!
Favourite tracks: Hush, Child Of The Government, Hell
I don't find the Travis Scott comparisons fair in all honesty. His delivery is incredibly different to what Travis would give for the most part and I find that the beats are uniquely Cudi. It really feels like a necessary part in the MOTM series in all honesty. At first I shied away from the trap production but the more I listen to it the more I realize little details I never realized in the first listen such as hums in the beat of "Dive". All in all, this is my account imma rate Cudi ... read more
One of the most underrated albums of all time in my opinion. The world building of the album present within every aspect of the production from the mixing, to the synth leads, even to the instrumentals themselves are immaculate on songs like "Satellite Flight", "Too Bad I Have To Destroy You Now" and "Internal Bleeding". To add, every song feels like they come in order of each other in a story, leaving off on a tragic end to the story on "Troubled Boy". ... read more
Decently underrated record tbh. I think the album holds some very good CSH songs (I'd even go as far to say some of my favourites of theirs) like Deadlines (Hostile) and Life Worth Missing. I don't think it's anything extraordinary in their discog, but I did come out of it thinking "Yeah that was a nice listen" rather than thinking it was mid or something. If Golden Years and Running Up That Hill made it onto MADLO rather than the EP, the record's rating would've definitely gone way ... read more
