It killed a ton of 90s band's careers. Nu Wave and EDM were out and grunge was in mainly because of this album.

W R O N G

It killed off shitty hair metal bands.

nu wave came to an end because it was heavily tied with the excess of the 80's. Also, 'EDM' never went away, not in the UK at least. It has always been here since the second summer of love in '88-89.

Kid cudi was never good, i went on ktt, and all these faggots talking like he is some fucking genius, and i admit i have completely ignored his career as a rapper so i decide to listen to his music and it was some of the most generic forgettable fucking shit music of all time.

And now he made a funking grunge album?
okay grunge isnt the worst genre in the world, but kid cudi has no fucking idea what he is doing and made a really fucking shallow surface level imitation of grunge that almost feels like a fucking parody.

Rappers can not fucking make rock music, its just always terrible.
>>
>>60786446
that one didn't kill his career, pic related did
It's because it didn't sound like She Blinded Me With Science

>>60785905
>implying Kid Cudi hasn't always been trash
>>
>>60785905
Cudi came during a wave of 2008-2009 post 808's mmixtapes. Anyone doing a similar sound was heraled as a god. Only ones that actually did anythign with that wave were Drake and Cole (unexplanable).

dudes like Wale and Cudi fell off because they had nothing creative to offer after the sound changed. Doesn't help that Cudi has a huge ego, along with a sychophantic fanbase that refuse to admit how shit he is.

Slowly people will realize that he was never that good, and the only reason they liked him was because he was decent background noise, while they were getting stoned in high school.

Even if it was bad, that didn't kill his career at all. Hell, he didn't have one before it.

This is just a filler album for MOTM III, he's already said it. He literally learned how to play guitar last year and wanted to test the waters and see if he could make music with it. It sounds pretty fuckin good imo, why do people think he fell off? Because he's not making the same shit every record? Fuck off. He's always had music that sounded like this, its just now he's actually making it all himself.

honestly this album kinda launched OF.

It was his inability to follow up with anything decent that makes it seem like it killed his career.

Still a shit album
>>
>>60793142
Tbh Cheery Bomb killed his career, I enjoyed it but not many other people did.
>>
>>60795525
Its by far my favorite album by him. I guess I'm just not in his normal demographic.
>>
>>60795657
Me too, a lot of people hated it though, imo the version on Youtube where a dude rearranged all the tracks is superior to the normal one.
>>
>>60794901
no
>>
>>60794867
If your judging it outside of hip hop's confines that makes it worse, cuz then theres no novelty of Kudi trying new shit to even add a shrivel of interest
>>
>>60794183
He fell off because his music is bad if it was decent hed get praiss for being "inovative"
>>
>>60785939
Literally came to post this.
>>
>>60795691
I really dislike that. In another thread anon said it best. There's a reason it jumps around like that. Plus Okaga, CA is a great closer.
>>
>>60795691
>>60796845
>Okaga, CA is a great closer.
this

the reorder of the album in the youtube fucks up the thematic tension that gets built throughout the album because of the interwoven dichotomy between the soul tracks and the dgesque tracks.

It didn't kill their career (they came back with Bleed Like Me and years later, Not Your Kind of People) but it was start of a decline in popularity. Garbage are more like an indie rock band these days (they have their own label). They also have a pretty big loyal fanbase,
>>

it's funny cause a lot of people like Swans and you posted their first album.

Literally the worst album I've ever heard. I feel bad that that p4k review destroyed his career, since I do think he's a talented guy based on his Dismemberment Plan work, but he almost deserved it after releasing this

Thanks for explaining it. I didn't understand.

wtf happened

This was such a fucking tryhard album. I can barely stomach it desu. And I like Swans
>>
>>60800519
nothing happened. this is just an EP and they're "rebelling" or saying "fuck you" to the norms or whatever bullshit reasoning he has.

they'll come back with a proper LP soon enough
>>
>>60792854
Oh he's always been pretty bad but this is fucking disgustingly bad.

His other albums are pure perfection compared to this pile of steaming shit. It's that bad.
>>
>>60797922
only true post in this thread
>>
>>60794183
what the fuck are you talking about...he made a shitty guitar album like 3 years ago too that I can't even remember the name of, I just know it had a cover of Where did you sleep last night and not a single good song on it...I haven't listened to this album yet but if its more Kid Cudi with guitar, I'm not gonna bother...

Indicud had some decent tracks on it too, he should of just tried to perfect that style instead of going back to rock which he is terrible at
>>

No it wasn't. Benji had somethin goging for it, this was just a dry uninspired repeat with none of the interesting themes

they were universal

in what sense? It sounds like the opposite, like they all just said "well we should release some music this year because we need the money" and it's 30 minutes of teenager garagerock distortion bullshit.
