    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm a massive Kid Cudi fan and I'm a huge Kanye fan. This was the album I was most excited for and this is the album I was most let down with. There are some terrible songs on this albums moments that feature the worst qualities of each artist. Cudi is sometimes not even trying or just mumbling, Kanye quite often is just yelling or screaming. Three songs here are barely listenable.

    The other good songs on the album do have creative moments are feature very personal lyrics; especially regarding Cudi's recovery. But even the strong songs on this album don't crack either artists top ten best songs. The best songs on this album are underwhelming.

    I just wanted more. I hoped with a seven song album each song would be amazing.

    A trip over colored beats and melodies, everything that you hope from Kayne West's production, although auto-tune annoying sometimes and the work being forgotten and distractive

    There’s a beguiling modesty to tracks such as “Fire” and “4th Dimension”, while Yasiin Bey’s understated sprechgesang advising “Kids see ghosts sometimes” on the title track feels plausible, immanent, urgent. [Aug 2018, p.63]

    Kids See Ghosts will be remembered as the climax and most enduring record of Ye Season, one that keeps giving with each and every replay.

    The controlled chaos of the record is proof that somewhere beneath all of the public outbursts and musical misfires, Kanye West--not the old Kanye--but the actual man and his heart are still somewhere in the mix planning to raise the bar and occasionally executing to near flawless result.
