yeah its punk bc it is all sustain rather than the spaciousness of, say, "pretty girls like trap music". like a punk record, everything is same volume. and it's not a lazy idea, there's a song called "punk monk" on it! and rap has been flirting with rock and punk for like 5 years now

I don’t disagree that they are a highlight, however the mix doesn’t do them any favors.

something i think would really help the album is if, in true punk fashion, the songs were shorter. m3tamorphosis does not need to be five minutes! also can't see why he didn't throw "@MEH" into the record either, it's probably his strongest track since *wokeuplikethis imo

“metamorphosis” is the only track that drags, imo

i kinda wish cudis presence was reduced to just the humming but its always a highlight for me anyway

another thing this record reminds me of is the farrah abraham album, especially in the moments where he gets emotional talking about his brother

josh az (2011nostalgia), Tuesday, 19 January 2021 06:51 (three years ago) link

the vocal experimentation is by far the best thing about the album

Eh I think of this project as being abt balance between the difft elements

But yea I disagree w moka tbc

ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Tuesday, 19 January 2021 17:57 (three years ago) link

also can't see why he didn't throw "@MEH" into the record either

ha, instead he threw on a totally distinct track named "meh"

@meh was very 'ok at best' to me

ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 20 January 2021 06:12 (three years ago) link

i love “@meh” but *rockist sunglasses descend over my eyes* the album inhabits its own distinct world

Not feeling this at all, and I liked Die Lit. Moka otm.

I assume it's Cudi's moaning over the bottom of "M3tamorphosis" -- I love it.

every time my mind goes blank for a second, i hear carti intoning "DON'T TALK TOO MEEEEE" on "punk munk"

i feel like i don't quite understand what the ppl who like this album are getting out of it... i feel like i've mostly read posts about how it's forward thinking or w/e but not much about what it is about the music, lyrics, performance etc that is actually enjoyable/memorable. it feels very well branded to me, mostly. there's some good songs on it but i found a lot of the leaked songs to just be catchier... i don't like anything on the record more than this

i think i can get w/ the album more if i think of it as evolutionary mf doom as opposed to, like, some magnum opus blockbuster rap album

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 20 January 2021 19:11 (three years ago) link

to me ‘cancun’ just sounds like anything off his first album, whereas the album feels like an update of c. 2014 ‘sh!t‘ and ‘danny glover’ era of weirdo bangers (even if nothing on it comes close to the level of greatness of those 2). my fav part is the different voices. sometimes the combinations of the chorus of wheezing voice ad libs under baby voice is so grotesque and cacophonous i love it lol. can’t single out production on many tracks and i don’t think it would stand out with more conventional vox but it works and is v consistent. ‘teen x’ is def a highlight. a lot of the beats have snatches of fruity melody but also sound rough-hewn and busted; the ‘king vamp’ beat sounds like it was arbitrarily cut in half at a random second and then looped. lyrics is obviously the weakest part since it’s carti, there’s no ‘all of my cups are muddy/I fuck my bitches' buddies’ and none of his repetitions hit like future screaming ‘you ain’t fuck shit‘ but the relentlessness ‘when the sun goes down/yeah it’s time to creep’ is great. verse in ‘sky‘ is good too ‘im bout to dirty my cup/pour up some lean and get stuck’ but that’s one of the most conventional songs

flopson, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 21:31 (three years ago) link

i agree with that mostly except the production is very cool to me and i'd still love a lot of it even with more conventional vocals. i really love the blown-out game soundtrack sound and its all catchy enough to let him get away with doing whatever wild thing with his vocals that he feels like

ufo, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 21:37 (three years ago) link

‘not PLaying’ another beat highlight imo

flopson, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 21:40 (three years ago) link

i've grown to appreciate the lyrics, maybe because the constant mantra repetition hammered into my subconscious, or maybe it's a "i like how he says it" thing (for lines like "i wanted to be just like my brother, he was a damn thug")

mentioned in the rap thread that the album this reminds me of the most is future's monster

boz conspiracy by toby hus (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 20 January 2021 21:43 (three years ago) link

i love how ‘teen x’ beat sets these looping squiggles of zaytovenesque melodies off each other where they’re slightly detuned and don’t perfectly line up so they clash in a way that’s playfully demented, really fits the vocals

flopson, Wednesday, 20 January 2021 21:48 (three years ago) link

The older leak stuff is way smoother and complacent, the new stuff is more shocking and confrontational, it’s a new mode for him which is exciting, esp considering I was getting kind of tired of the sameyness of the leak tracks. I like the more active, aggro tone; the way he makes his vocals cut in and out feels more alive and less drowsy than a lot of the leak stuff Imo... I don’t just think this is an interesting variation but makes his earlier stuff seem a bit plain

nine months pass...

started listening to this and that fucking kanye verse still stops this album dead in its tracks

yep, that's the track i skip.

thought this revive was going to be about his fans assaulting rico nasty practically every night on their tour

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 16 November 2021 23:29 (two years ago) link

haven't heard about that but that's straight garbage. rico is an amazing live performer and if the weird nerds at carti's show can't understand the concept of an "opening act" they can fuck themselves

*hadn't heard til now
