Kanye West - Yeezus

[Alcofribas]

 

it seems like he's one or two interviews away from a full on nervous breakdown.

 

i for one cannot wait --- i want it to be spectacular ala kony guy style, naked and masturbating by the side of a freeway. so heinous and hilarious martyrdom seems impossible

lol, maybe robert downey jr will find him in his gues bedroom.

 

I think the album is pretty terrible but i do really like the artwork. i work at a record store so i see a zillion examples of album art all day and I must say i was pretty impressed to see one of the most famous musicians release something so striking by stripping it all away. it actually feels a bit edgey in this "fuck you" kinda way but the white text in the back and the block of orange color is quite cool imo and kinda reminds me of something ae would do.

I worked really hard on this review

[SR4]

I watched about a minute (from the 17 min mark) (I have little to do with KW, a couple of his tunes are good)

 

Wether he's joking, being ironic or being serious, I cant tell. One thing I can tell is that he's a total cunt.

 

Something gives me the impression that he is being genuine and is coping with some severe mental problems.

 

Remember, he lost his mother at the arguably peak of his popularity, and wasn't really allowed to grieve in private. That combination can create some seriously traumatic experiences.

 

 

and yeah, that Bound 2 track is one of the worst tracks Ive ever heard....it sounds like two completely different songs interrupting each other...not to mention the absolutely retarded lyrics.

[dr lopez]

if i can get a job then yes because i have a place to live already. and I love Chicago. alco, pls you would be my friend

Yeah I was shocked how very few mention this. I thought it was a pisstake of a coda upon first listen, still sounds that way. I was not expecting it to be a single and/or the main music video.

[Guest zaphod]

Oh my god he's just a really dumb person that thinks fashion is gonna save the world

 

So out of touch and useless

[Tauhid]

[awepittance]

lol! it was pretty good but then got great when i realized they were sampling the glass Candyman soundtrack

ill bet anyone here, this trash is pitchfork's album of the year.

[delet...]

 

first kanye song that i've listened to all the way through. The rest didn't have the answers.

[joshuatxuk]

this (unless they make a calculated move to put something unexpected @ #1 to maintain "indie cred")

[delet...]

I'd like to see what they look like, so i can judge them by their taste in clothes and their generally pointless hip youth appearance.

[KovalainenFanBoy]

ill bet anyone here, this trash is pitchfork's album of the year.

 

It'll be on the top 5 for sure, but I don't think it's gonna be nº1.

 

They just published their best tracks of 2013 list and New Slaves is #2, by the way

Based on that list, they'll probably put Drake or Daft Punk as #1. All great and diverse the music made this year and yet just a dozen musicians make up 40% of the top 100 list. Their font and style for the end of year lists is the only real indie thing about all of it. More often than not they are major label releases.

 

2 Mentions:

Janelle Monáe

Chvrches

Drake

Arcade Fire

Haim

Sky Ferreira

A$AP Ferg

MBV

Majical Cloudz

 

3 Mentions:

Daft Punk

Disclosure

Vampire Weekend

Kanye West

 

That list also reinforced my earlier decision this year to stop reading pitchfork daily, as I had for 8 years. A few of their better writers (including one metal writer I'm acquainted with) were tweeting about the one or two reviews penned in the top 100 list in a very shrugged shoulder-esque defeated tone. I can't imagine how much corporate bullshit is forced upon their "critical" conclusions and I feel for the writers (most of these guys are freelance btw) who just want to write some sincere reviews. It's very pathetic actually what the site has become.

[jules]

im betting kanye and arcade fire are in top 3, with kanye 1

[Ivan Ooze]

for reals, this album together with Exai is the best thing i heard this year

i couldn't stand kanye but this monster knocked the shit out of me, the biggest fuck off ever, the production is fuck the cheese bonkers and those friggin jamaicans just make it

i think its kinda funny and sad people fail to see the greatness of this album here but hey mutherfuckin c'est la vie

Yeezus rocks!

[brisk]

Kanye is a melon, but this album is brilliant, there is no denying it.
