The Life Of Pablo is a wildly overrated album that in reality lacks inspiration and mainly delivers cliches. West flirts with gospel in 'Ultralight Beam' and that mediocre trick remains the highlight for about half an hour, until 'Low Lights' steals the riff from Prince's 'Ballad of Dorothy Parker' and 'Waves' concocts a soaring hymn. Several bland songs later 'Wolves' stages a romantic three-part harmony hijacked by Sia Furler's wordless commentary, the album's standout. After 'No More Parties In LA', an uneventful Kendrick Lamar collaboration, the album closes with a musical puzzle, 'Fade', that sounds like a tribute to funk-soul of the 1970s. This album is a social event: the guests, the producers, the samples and the songwriters prevail over the real music. This is just a patchwork of half-baked ideas. Too often West tries to dress up boring beats, boring lyrics and boring melodies with boring arrangements.

5/10

100% agree, once you "get it" it becomes as rewarding as any other Kanye album

My least favourite thing about scaruffi is how he'll describe a song in the harshest way possible then say "the album's standout". Like get your head out of your pretentious arse

what is there to get

>>73632210
He is having a baby. He lives a life of excess that contrasts the father he wants to be. Jesus. We got it when it dropped.

>He thinks I meant some gay lyrical narrative instead of an overarching musical thesis
