One of my favorite albums of all time. It has a very similar effect to whole lotta red where it sounds bad at first listen but gets better with time. I think there are two main aspects that make this album great. The relatively short length of the album and the experimentation that takes place in that time frame. These two aspects alone are what make this album enjoyable listen after listen and sound fresh each time. We have to thank rick rubin for narrowing down the track list to the most impactful songs. We also have to give credit french edm producers like daft punk for contributing to the experimental sound of the album. Last but not least we absolutely have to thank virgil abloh and george condo for designing the iconic album cover that perfectly matches the industrial sound of the album. There are a few moments where the album falls flat like on “send it up”. There’s also the kid cudi controversy that hangs over the song “guilt trip”. Still a great album Great Songs - New Slaves - Black Sk!nhead - Im in it - Bound 2 - On Sight
one of my 3 favorite albums of all time. this album is not only a masterclass in abstract storytelling it is also a true innovation in the album release process. This album excellently touches every musical style kanye made use of up to that point in order to truely illustrate the internal conflict kanye was going through at the time. what separates this album from other albums was the long-running periodic updates it received to truly make it a “living breathing creative expression” amazing songs - waves - 30 hours - no more parties in la - father stretch my hands pt1 - wolves
