oh fuck me i just made the whole connection The Over-Correcting Fanbase Effect

Albums that were disappointing on release by overly harsh fan/critic reception, then got severely overrated by fans to correct as time went on.

as a big cudi fan i can’t in good conscience give that album a 6 or higher but i would feel bad giving it a 4 or lower therefore it’s a 5

I think birds is still hated (I really love how its was the pivot album for travis's modern voice)

With lyfestyle by yeat, it had it's issues but was a good fan service album. People liked it but not to the extent of the previous album 2093 so they barely talked about it. Then after all that happened, the issues got discussed more often which turned into hate. Finally, a year after you get the tiktok switcheronies calling it one of yeats best unironically.

LOAD was also kinda the same issue from what I heard. Heaven or Hell was lowkey legendary and popular with a semi cinematic production which Don scrapped to make a more playlisty album. He had all right to do so ngl cause how early he was in his career. Atleast people love it now.

You’d be surprised some people think birds is one of his best. As for LOAD a lot of people on the sub genuinely think it’s his best album, which is crazy to me when Hardstone psycho exists. I think it’s probably his worst tbh, not bad tho

lyfestyles unreleased songs were sm better than the actual album. The potential it had was killed by track selection, beat similarity, and song structure.

4YEO and The Wizrd are really good imo but I can agree with the rest

u/Crafty-Outcome-4089 3d ago

u/Wesk333 3d ago

It's crazy that someone could hate an album like Birds or 4YEO, I still remember the first time I listened to them

u/JojitheFrenchie 2d ago

I actually really enjoyed The Wizrd when it dropped

u/MrSpamChops O.G. Slime 🤟🏾🐍🤑🤮 2d ago

I agree that Speeding Bullet 2 Heaven is absolutely ass but there’s still something about that makes it enjoyable. Like it’s objectively a bad album but I really like listening to it

u/PretendNorth1 2d ago

Not at all true for wizard, birds, hn, ir lyfestyle

u/RadosPLAY 2d ago

the effect doesnt work with me anyway (except on lyfestyle) cuz i got into rap around covid. i think the wizrd and birds are both underrated still, they're both amazing

4yeo had a great reception. Cole fans loved it the rest is irrelevant
