This is one of the most underrated songs in hip hop history. The featured artist on this track, Ratatat, also does a great job and gives the song a different feel. The screaming guitar, the epic synth bass, and moving drums make this one of the clear highlights of the album. The next track “Alive (Nightmare)” contains, debatably, one of the best choruses of all time. As weird as it is, it still doesn’t undermine expectations of what a rapper on a disco song would sound like. Enter galactic you and me, enter galactic you and me.” It could be interpreted that he is talking about taking psychedelic drugs with a significant other. He leaves you with an unforgettable chorus that never gets old: “Get ready, pop it, lets go. It sounds like something you would hear at a disco rave. Going into the second half of the album, Cudi completely switches it up once again with “Enter Galactic (Love Connection Part I)”. When will I ever learn, from the words in my songs? I’m mister solo dolo.” It’s enough to make you cry and make you really contemplate the lyrics and its correlation with his life. The last two lines of the song really sum this up: “Why must it feel so right, when I know that it’s wrong (it’s wrong). You can really feel the passion and pain in his voice when he sings about his struggles with mental health and isolation. This track is certainly one of the most soulful songs on the album. It transitions with a quick 10 second explanation on how you are now entering the darkest side of Cudi’s mind, quoted as “the night terrors.” Cudi is genius with the correlation with the music and his deep lyrics. The next song on the album “Solo Dolo (Nightmare)” is completely different from “Simple As…”. His tone and rhythms keeps the song upbeat and interesting. Cudi’s flow is the perfect ingredient to really give the track some spice. Simple drum machines looping over and over get the speakers in the car kickin’. To say the least, it’s a very 90’s type beat. It has a beat reminiscent of A Tribe Called Quest and is guaranteed to get anybody’s head bobbing back in forth. The third track on the album, “Simple As…” is one of the most underrated songs on the album. However, the best songs on this album are the ones that go under the radar. Cudi blew up after releasing this album, and achieved his first platinum song, “Day ‘N’ Nite”. Man On The Moon is Kid Cudi’s debut studio album, recorded in New York City and released by G.O.O.D Music. Released in 2009, this album was way ahead of its time. It captures every emotion imaginable and expresses them in a clear, strong tone. Kid Cudi’s masterpiece Man On The Moon, somehow creates a heartwarming sadness that works so well and hits listeners right in the feels.
