Yeezus (2013), 4/10
Yeezus (Def Jam, 2013), designed with an incredible number of collaborators, is a sloppy, awkward and amateurish work despite the impeccable fusion of electronics and vocals, the impeccable collages, the impeccable production. But sound quality is a technological, not an artistic, fact. Daft Punk are responsible for the robotic beat of On Sight and the monster riff of Black Skinhead (one of the catchiest "songs"): cool but nothing we haven't heard before. There are a few moments of pathos: the reggae-like cry of I am a God in a desolate post-industrial soundscape, the gloomy crescendo of the first half of Hold My Liquor (before the misguided synth orgy), the martial trombone fanfares of Blood on the Leaves, and... i struggled to find at least one more. But there are also embarrassingly trivial moments of both mashup and sociopolitical analysis (New Slaves, I'm in It, Blood on the Leaves, and Bound 2, which is simply a lame tribute to soul music) and there is certainly an unusual dose of filler (a four-song EP would have been more appropriate for what West had to say in this album). As a narrative experience, these stories may try something new but it's more a case of a populist bard desperately trying to find something new to say to his followers than a serious discussion on gender and race. As an aural experience, this album feels terribly old, like most granpas when they try to speak the language of their high-school nephews. Maybe this album was only meant as a self-mocking joke?

>>69893906

>>69893939
No way. College Dropout is one of his best.

>>69894072

>>69894112
No.

MBDTF is pretty obviously his peak.

>>69893906
>yeezus above graduation

>>69894125
consider this

"yes"

>>69894232
that's correct though

Yeezus > TLOP > MBDTF > Rodeo > Graduation > CD > LR > WTT > CS

>>69893832
MBDTF>Late Registration>808s>College Dropout>TLOP>Graduation>Yeezus

All are 8/10 and above though. Hard to even rate.

>>69894273
I don't understand people who put Yeezus at the end.

Like how's it even possible to have such a bad taste?

Yeezus > LR = MBDTF > CD > TLOP > Graduation > 808's > CS > WTT

MBDTF > TCD > 808S = GRAD > Yeezus > TLOP > LR

His next project will be a masterpiece, or a master class piece of shit.

>>69894300
literally everything Yeezus does other artists have done better. it's basically watered down minimalist/industrial hip-hop.

not to say that it's a BAD album, but it's so weak when compared to its counterparts. MBDTF, CD, and 808s will always be his best because they have no counterparts.

>>69895055

If 808 didn't have the outros to it's song it would be pretty meh. The outro to Bad News is the best thing yeezy has done

>If 808 didn't have the outros to it's song it would be pretty meh

take the outro out of most songs and they would be pretty meh

No.
>his first two albums
>MBDTF
>Life of Pablo

Yeezus had a couple awesome tracks, though.

LR > MBDTF > GRAD > CD > YEEZUS > 808s > TLOP
tlop is still a 7/10 tho

>>69895578
nah like the outs make the songs. Really gives that extra cold/desolate feeling

>>69895657
MBDTF was uncreative and overly commercial.

>>69895696
in no way is that album uncreative you fucking dork

>>69895496
808s is fucking amazing and seems to be the one Ye album I keep coming back to. Bad News is Kanye's worst song tho.

>>69895704
oh man what if there was a rap song about excess and emotions in the personal life, with autotune and a lot of features and fucking stop dude you're kidding yourself

MBDTF > 808s > Yeezus > LR > CD > Graduation > TLOP

TLOP is a 7/10 btw.

>>69895765
no dude

TLOP > Yeezus > MBDTF > LR > 808's > CD > Graduation

TLOP is a 7/10.

Yeezus = Graduation = MBDTF > rest

MBDTF = Yeezus > LR > 808s > CD > TLOP > WTT > Grad

>>69895818
>808s that low
>TLOP anywhere near the top

Shit taste.

FANTANO ALERTS

which are his best songs anyway?

Black Skinhead, Gold Digger, Dark Fantasy

best example of an album that's "experimental" for exactly one song and no more

>>69895036
yeah!
