A week’s worth of listening to Kid Cudi’s new album Man on the Moon: The End of Day has been good to me. I’m not sure whether to call it hip hop or pop music and I expect the truth lies someplace in between. The mark of a great lasting album for me is oftentimes when I can’t remember any of the names of the songs. What I mean is that A) all the songs are really great B) it listens like an album not like 3 singles with filler material. The End of Day is like this. I had a lot of trouble choosing a few songs to post because they really need the full body of work to be appreciate. Up Up & Away I included specifically because it sounds more like a pop song than anything else. But it’s really catchy and I don’t feel too guilty enjoying it. There are also two songs featuring Ratatat, which standout with great production and instrumentals.
