Exactly my point. The entire album is like if Cudi blended In Utero-era Nirvana with Butthole Surfers and other alt-rock acts into a poor man's imitation?
Yeah, it was just a misguided attempt at music that I'm disappointed Mike Judge cosigned

Not in full because Distorted Records hyped me up and then every track after I was terminally bored with lol

I loved getting to know more of Alfred and Darius (that mansion episode man, it gave me chills) and I really felt Earn had an interesting character arc this season considering all episodes of the show are episodic in a way. 2x1 (alligator man!), 2x6 (mainly for the second half, first half was really slow), 2x8 and 2x10 are my favorite episodes in the entire series thus far. Definitely worth the wait and I hope third season will get even better?
Glad you finished! Teddy Perkins and Aligator Man were definitely highlights, but I also was in love with Helen, Money Bag Shawty, North of the Border and the finale. Surprised you liked FUBU lol. It wasn't bad to me, just felt sort of out of place even though it made sense in the narrative. But Donald said Season 3 is gonna be like the show's version of Graduation so I'm v fucking hyped

lol I don't know who runs this account but yeah Flower Boy is awesome, if just for the fact that it feels like Tyler finally realized the musical aspirations he had ever since he was rapping about murder and rape and shit over industrial Neptunes influenced beats nearly a decade ago. The jazzy lush production on the shit is fucking amazing, and the lyrical content is like a compilation of all of his best verses and a culmination of everything that's been building since Wolf - everything about it just works
what live concert version are you talking about

listening to speedin bullet on prez's recommendation
It's like In Utero in a lot of ways (in that they're noisy, abrasive albums that are far removed from what their respective artists are known for). But there are a wide margin of differences between them. While you could consider In Utero to be self-indulgent, what saves it is that Kurt Cobain's melodic, poppy songwriting still shines through, and that while it was intended to drive away the fanbase that came with Nevermind, it became a fan favorite (to the point where a lot of Nirvana fans like myself consider it better than that album. Speedin' Bullet, on the other hand, is just self-indulgent and had the opposite effect: it not only drove away Cudi's fanbase, it has very little saving graces (the only reason I like it is due to the alt-rock vibe it has), and it was very negatively recieved?
Regardless of the sound of the album you just don’t go from making dreamy, moody hip hop with rock influences to badly imitating Nirvana on an album with Beavis and Butthead interludes
it was just never gonna work. Cudi is just as unique as Nirvana and trying to imitate them was just like... you already have your own style. Why are you doing this
Adventures didn’t totally fucking suck though

buttttttt SpongeBob did realize his actions were wrong in Good Neighbours. Him and Patrick went to Squidward's house to apologize to him.
he did, but like I said, it took Squidward yelling at them in a very straightforward way for them to get it. The best episodes of this show aren’t where SpongeBob is, or threatens to be, the antagonist and Squidward is the protagonist. Squidward is supposed to be a smug semi-jerk and have that naturally clash with SpongeBob’s optimism, with the universe sometimes letting Squidward have a barrage of crazy shit happen to him. But when this show is good, bad things only happen to Squidward because his disposition makes him deserve it. If Squidward had let his ego go and not climbed up SpongeBob and Patrick’s treeehouse in Club SpongeBob, that whole episode never would’ve happened. If Squidward didn’t intervene in Naughty Nautical Neighbors, his house wouldn’t have blown up.
In Good Neighbors, all Squidward wants to do is relax and SpongeBob and Patrick, while good-intentioned, won’t leave him the fuck alone. He doesn’t do anything wrong. We as an audience are supposed to like Squidward, but we aren’t supposed to feel bad for him, not like this. Squidward is this show’s Sokka - all of his pain is supposed to be self-inflicted, even if it’s as minor as making a snide comment and then falling off his bike and exploding as commupeance. Turning Squidward into this sympathetic character where you start to dislike Sponge and Pat because of how they treat him is one of post-movie’s critical misunderstandings of how this show is supposed to work. Good Neighbors is the first to display that, and it plays it the straightest the show ever has, and while the screaming scene is exaggerated, nothing Squidward says in his speech is wrong. And that’s my issue. You’ve never been like “wow, Squidward is right” before, and youre not supposed to feel that way. Other episodes like Boating Buddies just feature SpongeBob being annoying as shit, but here, the characters still have a sense of that pre-movie depth to them, and Sponge and Pat’s good intentions only make the whole thing sadder.
At least with cartoony bullshit there’s nothing to analyze character-wise. There are several character portrayals that misunderstand those characters on a basic level, but they’re flat ones we’ve seen before. Good Neighbors, besides being the first time we had seen anything like this, has a lot to chew on when you think about it hard enough, and it’s always made me uncomfortable when I did. Just not a fan.

It's the same thing for The Simpsons with me, but there's very few writers that are just flat out terrible writers on Spongebob. I haven't seen this episode yet, but my intrigue is raised with how much people seem to dislike it. There's tons of examples of what I'm talking about; Aaron Springer wrote Band Geeks but also wrote Boating Buddies (I don't feel the need to talk about how the fandom views both episodes; I'm positive we're all familiar with it.), like how with The Simpsons, John Swartzwelder wrote Rosebud but also wrote Kill The Alligator And Run. Both are writers acclaimed by the show's fanbases, so I kind of think it's a matter of running out of ideas. It's something to note when talking about this. There's bad writers for both shows, but for the most part, all writers have their good episodes and their bad episodes.
I want to check this out if I have the chance this weekend. If so, expect a review.
This is also interesting. I think it’s important to note that since the end of Lazlo, Kaz never really stopped writing, and may just be burnt out at this point

At least Good Neighbors doesn't have the s10/11 hyperactivity issue and wasn't as blatant as OCM was in having someone be scared for the entire episode, really don't see how this is better.
good neighbors pushes the portrayal of spongebob’s optimism to a point where he becomes so oblivious that he genuinely doesn’t understand how his actions effect other people, but the characterizations aren’t so far removed from Season 3 that they fee unrecognizable. Squidward’s disturbingly realistic shouting breakdown as he explains how terrible SpongeBob and Patrick are creates a strange, sad way to view the series that, from the moment I watched it, sat with me in a very uncomfortable way - ink lemonade is so cartoony and ridiculous that there’s no room for anything like that, and makes it better in that way for me I guess

A long time ago, I made a name for myself on this site by writing really long reviews on particular SpongeBob episodes. Why I did this, I'm not entirely sure. I think something about how this show's worst episodes misunderstood Hillenburg's original concept so badly interested me in a trainwreck sort of way. It was cathartic to write reviews about how episodes like Clash of Triton failed to carve a new path forward for the show, or why Fungus Among Us fails because it expects us to think gross shit is funny, or why One Coarse Meal and it's absence of humor doesn't work for obvious reasons. In the past 3 years, this show has taken an upturn on a few key levels - Hillenburg's return in 9B changed the show for the better, where every episode seemed to have a better understanding of the show and the characters within. The worst offenders of this season only suffered because they were simply boring, like Fish Bowl. For a fleeting moment, quality rose to a consistent level, and the show rivaled Season 4 at the very least, with some episodes feeling like classic era material at times. It was a fun time, and one where I actually ended up becoming far less interested in the show because there was so little to actually discuss beyond "wow, this thing is finally good again."
And then came everything after.
I'm not a huge Ren and Stimpy guy. At it's best, it was a brilliant show, just never been for me - the John K seasons have a lot of wonderful content, but occasionally pushed too far into gross or disturbing territory for me, and the Games seasons suffered from being terminally boring. SpongeBob has always found it's best stuff when it felt like a fusion of the best elements of Rocko's Modern Life and R&S. And the show gets near it's worst when it threatens to teeter into the pen of going fully Ren and Stimpy, which is the madcap, overly exaggerated cartoony bullshit that I've roasted on this site time and time again. I haven't kept up with Season 11 as much, and that catch all title I coined might seem harsh, but when this season is at it's worst, that's exactly what it is. So we've got that post-movie era, and then we've got the post-9B era, both faltering in different ways.
And then there's this.
Ink Lemonade is so interesting because even though it's written by Kaz, the brilliant mind behind "Chocolate with Nuts", "Nasty Patty", "Wet Painters", and some of Phineas and Ferb and Camp Lazlo's best outings, it is bafflingly bad. But that's not even the most interesting part. This show has had different problems at different parts in it's history. This most recent era, at it's worst, takes overly cartoony actions and tries to pass them off as humor instead of actually crafting jokes half of the time. The era from around 2007-2013 failed because it misunderstood the characters and the show on a baseline level, with episodes featuring borderline unrecognizable caricatures of these characters with occasionally braindead plots, gross-out gags, and strange inclinations toward sadism, particularly towards Squidward. And even the late Season 3 period can be looked at as a hyperactive blueprint for every bad episode that followed the movie. But Kaz, bless his soul, did something special. He managed to find a way to take every single problem the show has ever had and coalesce it into one supple, bit-size package. In just 11 minutes, we are treated to:
-Patrick being dumb as shit for no reason! Your favorite trait from the post-movie era! Why is he selling lemonade? Who cares!
-Squidward getting consistently abused for no reason than the fact that he's there! Your other favorite trope from the post-movie era! And in addition to that bit of wonderful writing, you may be wondering why SpongeBob's here. I don't know! There's no reason for him to be! But who cares?
-that weird bottle episode feel that permeates episodes focused on fucking with Squidward where the characters never leave the front yard like Good Neighbors and parts of That Sinking Feeling
-Grossout gags! Ever wanted to see Patrick's eye get infected and swell up after Squidward throws trash at it? Or Patrick rip off a bandaid from under his armpit and put it in some water? And then see someone drink it? Squidward shave his nosehair? Or slip on some random fish's vomit? Patrick literally rip open his entire front to reveal his organs? Or better yet, watch as entire colony of spiders bursts forth from Squidward's mouth to cap off the episode! The entire concept of people enjoying black shit that squirts out of Squidward's nose is already weird and gross enough, but this episode goes back to Season 6 levels of nasty in order to dredge up a complaint I haven't had about this show in YEARS.
-Your favorite trait from the post-9B seasons: super loud cartoony shit! If you've ever wanted to hear Bill Fagerbakke and Tom Kenny at their most annoying through a MEGAPHONE, today's your lucky day. You can finally hear that. And it isn't annoying. At all.
This isn't entirely devoid of good things. The section where Patrick tries to scare Squidward with a homemade house of horrors works surprisingly well. And the way Patrick and SpongeBob look at each other and say "yeah" at the end is hilarious. And... the animation, while too excited, is still fluid and good.
...Yeah, that's all I got.
I just dunno, man. I want to say Kaz swung and missed, but there was just no way this episode ever could've worked. The one saving grace for this is that it wasn't done in Season 6 (imagining Aaron Springer or Casey and Zeus boarding this, or Robertryan Cory doing the designs for something like the spider are absolutely terrifying things to picture). Otherwise, here we have a brilliant man stringing together the most decidedly un-brilliant traits of a show into a quintessential blueprint for what doesn't work about this show. This episode isn't quite up to the standards of those truly awful entries, and it definitely doesn't outdo something like Fungus Among Us, or Good Neighbors, or One Coarse Meal. But that's because its so busy literally handpicking which elements from those episodes to use that it can't focus on them all at once - instead giving us a kaleidoscope of terrible elements that coalesce into one, subpar 11 minutes that reach into the depths of the bottom of the barrel to pull out something entirely new, but all at once familiar.
Take all of that and lump it together, and you've got the worst entry this show has seen since 2013. Truly.

1 hour ago, Renegade the Unicorn said:We will probably disagree on this, but Roseanne's joke failing miserably only speaks as to why there are no real Right wing comedians. When your ideologies and policies are rooted in conservative and antiquated views that often (but not always) support racism, xenophobia, and bigotry, your jokes are going to reflect that, and Roseanne comparing a black woman to an ape is exactly the kinda shit I'm talking about. Most comedians are liberal, or at the most, libertarian. Anything conservative done for humor has been satire, like Colbert, or that Opposition show on Comedy Central right now, where people play ridiculous conservative caricatures, because that's the only way that shit can ever be funny. Roseanne was an experiment in showing why those caricatures can't be played straight - straightforward racism, bigotry, isn't a joke. You can't laugh at that shit. What is funny, however, is how fast ABC cancelled her shit. And while I feel bad for everyone else involved that had nothing to do with it, it's laughable how quickly she lost everything. In short: fuck Roseanne Barr.
Glad you thought the joke was also in poor taste.

I think it's pretty good too. An improvement over 4 Your Eyez Only, which was slightly disappointing to me in hindsight after relistening to it. My only complaint is that I wasn't a fan of the features with KiLL Edward...who he's not fooling anyone that it's himself lmao. I just wasn't a fan of what he was doing with the voice distortion. Just a little too out there for me. Otherwise, my favorite album I've heard this year. My favorites are KOD and ATM followed closely by Photograph, 1985, and Kevin's Heart. High five for having practically the same taste?
Eyez has some of Cole’s best songs, but definitely disappointing as a whole, yeah. And the kill Edward tracks were p hot garbage, agreed
no love for Window Pain?
