If the music was fronted by smarter, less-repetitive lyrics, it might have fared better.On "Don't Play This Song," Kid Cudi talks about growing up, making some mistakes and trying get his "mind right."

That is a recipe for a dud.The hip-hop performer plods his way through 17 tracks, accompanied by an odd variety of sound samples that might have been best left on the shelf.Songs like "Scott Mescudi vs. Rager" arrives heavy with lo-fi experimentation and personal pot stories that certainly must mean something to the man behind the microphone, if no one else.But he delivers muffled and lethargic lyrics blended with boring beats devoid of a pulse.

Kid Cudi ’s new album Man on the Moon III: The Chosen is out now. In fact, four songs on the album don’t have words at all.

Unfortunately, “Satellite Flight” did not live up to that expectation. In my mind, this meant a Million Dollar Man style pieced together powerhouse of a rap album. Leading up to the album’s release, it was billed as a combination of all his sounds, from his biggest mixtape “A Kid Named Cudi” all the way up to his latest album “Indicud.” Review by Lucas Wimmer The hype surrounding Kid Cudi’s “Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon” was pretty insane.
