    Ice didn't fail because he switched genres. People had already treated Ice as a joke and he tried to self remove by the time the dust settled on Mind Blowin', so really, releasing a rock album was more of a having nothing to lose kind of thing. It wasn't about charting. It was about doing something in life so that people didn't automatically laugh at and hit him with things for being a phony. Remember, he was accused of switching genres already, from hip-hop to pop. THAT is what effected him so much. Ice has talked about just how important some of the songs on Hard to Swallow, "Scars" in particular, were to his own healing process.

    I loved Speedin Bullet. It feels like a manic episode the whole time. Weird voices lurking around your brain that don’t sound like you anymore, but are in fact you. You try to escape the demonic noises of them but end up trapped. And there are some, what feel like good moments between the dark. And maybe the good moments are just acceptance of your lived reality. Trauma gives that sensual feel but yells discomfort. CONFUSED! Is one of my favorites, the excited clashing of instruments, yet the dark lyrics of, “I might go losing it and drive off a cliff.” Very well put together. There was still some nuance too. Adventures to me was old Cudi, but also a foreshadowing into Passion Pain and DS.

His persona is literally MOTM. Dark side of the moon come on. He expresses the ingenuity in the world and how his pure intentions are tested by a darker force. If youre looking for more insight of how that force behaves for him as a fan that album is a necessity.
