WZRD, the album, is sort of emo, sort of dream pop, and surely an indulgent effort that surprises with its chemistry and willingness to follow the music.
Wonky vocals and a lack of guile strangle the project, not least on Efflictim, where a terminal aimlessness befits the melodramatic-teen lyric[s]. [Jun 2012, p.115]

Like the other 2 albums, this one grew on me the more i listened to it. When i first heard it, I did not like it at all. The songs were weird and I did not understand them. But that was the same case with Man on the Moon I and II, so I decided to keep listening and give it a try. Well I'm glad I did. This album is really just like all of Cudi's other's. It has the same flow, same style, he just sings and uses the drums and guitar. (But he does that in all his other albums too) I promise anybody that is a Cudi fan, give this a try and let it grow on you.…Expand
You have to give him credit for trying something new. I would say that he and dot didn't do too bad. I actually like this album. It'sYou have to give him credit for trying something new. I would say that he and dot didn't do too bad. I actually like this album. It's definatly not his strongest. We all can agree man on the moon: the end of day was the best! Overall, this album is good....but not up to cudi's full potential. I award him for making this.…Expand

With that being said... the album is pretty good. I think it has decent beats and his lyrics are pretty good. Some of the songs are definitely lacking that original Cudi style, but I can still dig it. The only thing that I really don't like is that he pretty much completely changed his personal style. He now talks about how he doesn't smoke anymore and stuff like that... kinda weird for him if you ask anyone. I understand he went through a lot in his life recently, but this album seems like a complete 180 in that sense.
It's good for a pretty relaxed listen as he never goes too hard. Some songs do have some good pep. All in all, I enjoy listening any time.…Collapse

This is the worst piece of **** I have ever heard. Cudi's doesn't even know how to mumble, much less carry a note, and he's not even close toThis is the worst piece of **** I have ever heard. Cudi's doesn't even know how to mumble, much less carry a note, and he's not even close to singing. He sounds like he's a kid with DOWN syndrome drowning, recorded with a toaster and autotuned. And that's over Dot Da Idiot's terrible imitations of actual dream pop and shoegaze. WZRD should be castrated.…Expand
