10 Most Hated Grunge Albums Of All Time
10. Speedin Bullet To Heaven - Kid Cudi
It feels strange even putting an album like this on a list of grunge albums. Given the pedigree he has as a space-centric figure in the world of hip hop and R&B, there's not really too many connections between Kid Cudi and the world of '90s rock. However, he does have one grunge album to his name...and those who have listened to it still have the scars to prove it.
Looking to reinvent himself as a rockstar after his series of projects in the Man on the Moon series, Cudi decided to go into the studio and crank out some down and dirty rock and roll. Though there had be a little bit of rock on his albums from a production standpoint, this is some of the most hollow grunge rock you can find. You can tell that Cudi has clearly been an admirer of groups like Nirvana in the past, and yet the execution of these styles make him sound like he's doing the base level job of what he thinks a rock star is supposed to do.
That's before even getting to the inner workings of this record, which feature some of Cudi's most off-kilter singing in an attempt to be "authentic" and even a few appearances from Mike Judge doing Beavis and Butterhead color commentary to what's happening in the track listing. There's no problem with reaching for new influences all the time...just make sure that you at least have a handle on them before you release it though.
