    Kids See Ghosts is an interesting album exploring faith, mental health, psychedelics and different forms of healing. It's a tough album and it has a wide range of sonics to enjoy. My favourite songs are 'Cudi Montage,' 'Feel The Love' 'Reborn' 'Kids See Ghosts' in general, every song has its admirable quality and bounce. I think this album is a little short but it does it's thing. I wishKids See Ghosts is an interesting album exploring faith, mental health, psychedelics and different forms of healing.

I think this album is a little short but it does it's thing. I wish Kanye had more punches with his lyricism and Cudi was a bit more involved but the production on the most part is pretty good. I think it's Kanye's best album since Twisted Fantasy and if it's 3 songs longer it might have had that better influence.… Expand

    While an interesting concept and collaboration, I feel like the ideas in Kids see ghosts could be expanded upon greatly. This album would have greatly benefitted from not being released in the year 2018. With Kanye working on so many projects that year, If he had released it, say, 2020, He could have made the album longer.

With Kanye working on so many projects that year, If he had released it, say, 2020, He could have made the album longer. On the other side of the argument, this time in Kanye's life was possibly his lowest (up until recent events maybe) hence him releasing Ye a few days later. A very interesting project, but could have benefitted from being longer.… Expand

    this project is something special. it is consistent and fun to listen to. i first saw this album as a 6/10 but after my second listen, my love for this album was increased significantly. Kanye and Cudi really help each other on this album and now i just wish they could make up and make the sequel we all need.

    favourite tracks- feel the love, fire, freeee, reborn

    One of Kanye's most interesting albums since The Life of Pablo, KIDS SEE GHOSTS is a brilliant collaboration between West and Cudi. From the opening hook on Feel the Love to the pseudo-gospel outro of Cudi Montage, the album is brilliant both technically and thematically, embodying and expanding the themes which Kanye explored in his previous album Ye.

    Production is handled expertly by    One of Kanye's most interesting albums since The Life of Pablo, KIDS SEE GHOSTS is a brilliant collaboration between West and Cudi.

    Production is handled expertly by Kanye, with some of the most creative beats he has synthesised - 4th Dimension stands out as a particular highlight, brilliantly flipping the Louis Prima sample into a hungry-sounding monster of a beat. Cudi and West's chemistry is apparent; Ye's humorous yet vulnerable bars layered over Cudi's vocal melodies work together in a delicate balance. Cudi's rap contributions are also excellent, as are the guest features.

    While manic and chaotic, the 23-minute work is one of West's most concise, focused efforts, maintaining thematic consistency - mental health, materialism, sexual fantasy and faith are primary themes of the project, further developing the characters of Kanye and Cudi and providing insight into the minds of two masters of their craft. Listening to KIDS SEE GHOSTS is almost therapeutic; a cathartic release of emotion and a new view of oneself.

    KIDS SEE GHOSTS is, in almost every sense of the word, a masterpiece, another puzzle piece in West's incredible discography. The project is my second favourite Kanye project of all time, and one of the best examples of the man's undeniable prowess for music and art. It is well worth your 23 minutes; KIDS SEE GHOSTS is an experience to be thoroughly digested and subsequently adored.    … Expand

    just over 20 mins. and it will deliver one of the best rap albums of all time.
    The album is amazingly well produced, kudi and ye's vocal performance are super iconic and memorable. The lyricism here is also one of the best from ye and kudi. every song is so good, this is just a perfect album. Specially checkout 1)Feel the love ft. Pusha , 2)4th dimension, 3)Reborn, 4)cudi    just over 20 mins. and it will deliver one of the best rap albums of all time.

    What more is to say about this album(I just started this review) It gives me heavy nostalgia to when I used to blast it all the time. I just love everything about this album, this album didn't miss once. Here's a plus the wait goes by very quickly showing that this record is timeless, 10/10

    There’s a beguiling modesty to tracks such as “Fire” and “4th Dimension”, while Yasiin Bey’s understated sprechgesang advising “Kids see ghosts sometimes” on the title track feels plausible, immanent, urgent. [Aug 2018, p.63]

    Kids See Ghosts will be remembered as the climax and most enduring record of Ye Season, one that keeps giving with each and every replay.

    The controlled chaos of the record is proof that somewhere beneath all of the public outbursts and musical misfires, Kanye West--not the old Kanye--but the actual man and his heart are still somewhere in the mix planning to raise the bar and occasionally executing to near flawless result.
