This is pretty good

>>72055719
Was there an argument otherwise?

>>72055719
streetlights makes me feel things

>>72055755
feel the same way about Paranoid

>>72055719
Yeah it is. Can't believe I skipped it when listening through his discography for the first time. I mean I tried it but the end of Say You Will is way too long for some reason

>>72055755
>>72055765
This.

Paranoid fucks me up man. This whole album is so harsh. Be prepared to think things about your ex you never thought you would

>>72055719
worst kanye album

>>72055719
Street Lights, Robocop and Bad News are excellent songs. I like this album a lot.

>>72055719
Non-kanye fan here. This album intrigues me. Is it worth a listen?

>>72056363
no

>>72056363
yes

>>72056363
maybe

>>72056408
>>72056436
>>72056449
Wow, thanks guys!

>>72056363
Every album that someone else likes is worth a listen. This is pretty different from all his other albums so...

I don't know?

>>72056363

>>72056408
>>72056436
>>72056449
These three mean that you should definitely check this album out.

>>72056363
if you've never listened to Kanye before, no
if you have, go for it. just know that it's completely different from all his other albums

>>72055719
Glad we agree that it's his worst

>>72056466
>>72056480
It's weird because the only record of his I've tried listening to is MBDTF and I absolutely, positively hate that fucking album.

So if this one is completely different and most "traditional" Kanye fans don't like it, I might like it. Right?

>>72056493
How can you hear Graduation and think this is worse?

>>72056510
This is zero ego, basically. There's a little on Amazing but it's pretty justified.

His mother died, he was truly human and vulnerable for once in a while. Maybe you'll like it. Don't bash it for the autotune, it works wonders at times.

I'm not a Kanye stan, and I really like his vulnerability and honesty on this album.

>>72056523
Damn I always forget about graduation. Still think it's better because it has some really fun tracks. 808s is for middle schoolers getting over their first crush.

>>72056549
That's the appeal to me. The "humanity" of it. Also dont mind autotune.

I'll check it out.

>>72056578
>>72056549
If the archive was working.

Hate to be "that guy" but anyone gotta link?

>>72056596
Stop being fucking poor you cretin

>>72056596
download soulseek ffs

>>72056571
I completely hate Graduation. Can't Tell Me Nothing, Stronger and Good Morning get a pass. My last breakup was before I'd ever given Kanye a listen, so I can't comment on that. I think his sentiment was real, depends on the listener to interpret it correctly.

>>72056578
Yes, even if he sounds robotic, he sounds human.

>>72056613
No

>>72055719
this is the best kanye album.
>tfw it took walking around downtown at night thinking suicidal thoughts on the first snow fall of the year to realise this

>>72056510
how the FUCK do you not like MBDTF.

>>72056851
because >>72056787

>>72056851
Pretty easy to dislike.

>>72056851
>corny rhymes
>lackluster rapping in general

And the greatest crime if all, extreme over-hyping. Seriously, the worst /mu/core album and legit the most overrated album of ALL TIME.

Couldn't even make it past the first 30 mins. despite trying like three times and most people say it falls apart in the second half. 4/10 for me, seriously.

>>72056929
>most people say it falls apart in the second half
they're wrong, only dud in the second half is blame game

>>72056929
Also the production is seriously overrated too, and it should be that album's strongest aspect.

>>72056952
I guess, but sitting through it up to that point is torture for me.

The only song I "like" is Dark Fantasy and I still have no desire to go back to it.

>>72056929
>>72056955
I get that you don't like the album but trying to pass "overrated" or "over-hyped" as legitimate criticism is the quickest way to make me disregard someone's opinion

>>72056991
I agree. Dark Fantasy has plenty of flaws, but those are just scapegoat reasons for criticism.

>>72055765
The beginning makes me happy

>>72056991
I see where you're coming from and I agree with you. But I listed to this album for the first time in 2014, tried a couple weeks ago and again at some point in between and mark my words, it will not stand the test of time.

The initial hype of this album ruined it. I promise. I belive it's acclaim can be attributed to mass hysteria at best.

>>72057089
that says literally nothing about the actual music

>>72057100
People treat music as a part of their personality now, didn't you know? If it doesn't align with their views or what they wanna project to people, they'll pass on it, disregarding the actual sound.

>>72057100
The "actual music" was made to be something that it is not based on where and when it was released, based on Kanye West's opinions both in the public eye, and of himself.

The actual music is shallow and meaningless. It's more a matter of time and space.

>>72057040
You can tell he's singing with glee after that laugh :')

>>72057142
you still didn't say anything about the actual music
everything you said so far is "I don't like it and I think no one else should either"

>>72057266
What can be said about the "actual music?"

What does that even mean?

Nobody can talk about this record and say nice things about it without mentioning how big of a joke Kanye was right before it came out.

>>72057339
are you actually this retarded or are you just baiting?
because if it's the second one then congratulations, you got me

>>72057388
It really sounds like you have no counter-argument.

Name one reason why MBDTF is good without mentioning its impact at the time of its release.

>>72057339
>dark fantasy
I like the piano and the choir
>gorgeous
I love the guitar and the solo is amazing, not to mention the lyrics, but we're only talking music
>POWER
Good beat, good use of 21st century schizoid man, the ending is a good switch while still sounding like it's the same track
>all of the lights
The interlude is comfy and the song has catchy trumpets
>monster
The beat is good for rapping over, which is the whole purpose of this track. Buncha niggas rapping
>so appalled
It's ok. Not that good but not bad
>devil in a new dress
The sample usage is amazing, the constant vocal in the background is soothing, and the bass really sets the mood
>runaway
Great intro, more great sample usage, the end where kanye makes his voice sound like a guitar is cool
>hell of a life
It's iron man, which isn't a bad song.
>blame game
>more like aphex twin sample: the song
I'm tired now, but the music is good

>>72057576
what about lost in the world?

>>72057450
Top-tier lyricism
>inb4 you start cherrypicking

>>72057666
Just for you Satan
>lost in the world
Kanye samples himself. It's got nice drums n shit which pass into
>who will survive in America
The music fits the poem being read, sounds like they're urgent

>I'm amazin
>born on a full moon
>I was bred to get it in
>no spoon
What did Jeezy mean by this?

>>72056714
You're missing Flashing Lights on that list, which is one of his best tracks

>>72057692
>they forgot about one thing, my black balls
>>72057576
Just commenting on Monster (and the features in general) why do the features get so much praise? He has Jay-z, Nicki Minaj (some people have had the audacity to call her verse on Monster to be the best guest verse ever) and motherfucking Rick Ross. He actually gets I think two verses in this thing.
Seriously, what the fuck.

>>72057806
>>they forgot about one thing, my black balls
Not falling for that be

>monster
I don't really know. It's Nikki's best verse in her career, and the whole point of the song is just bragging. But yeah fuck Jay-Z, removing his verse would make the song much better

>>72057806
Rick Ross' verse on DiaND is fantastic

>>72057770
Well, I didn't forget it. I don't care much for it, but I an tolerate it.

>>72057867
Maybe, but considering he's the worst rapper in the world, seeing him as a feature brings down pretty much any track.

>>72056363
Yes, but it does not define Kanye as a whole. Personally I'd start from The College Dropout and just go down the line chronologically

>>72056523
I don't get the "Graduation is the worst" meme.

>>72057806
It's generally agreed upon that Jay-Z's verse is pretty lackluster. People are mostly indifferent towards Rick Ross's, but I understand the hype behind Nicki's verse

"See You in My Nightmares" is the worst track. Prove me wrong

It's not a meme for me, I don't give a shit about the general perception of his albums. I can't stand Graduation, I hate the mid '00s pop sound he adapted and the synth based sound didn't work for me.

His albums probably go like this for me

Late Registration
808s & Heartbreak
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
The College Dropout
The Life of Pablo
Yeezus
Graduation

TLOP would be above TCD if it was the 12 tracks I always listen to in what I call The Life of Pablo 2.0 (pic related)
