Yeezus

Music for and by people with low IQ.

I've listened to it at least 10 times now and I really think its one of his most complete albums. No filler, raw, and brutal. Yah, the lyrics are nothing amazing, but the production is simply amazing, and his whole "f*ck mainstream music" tone is incredibly fun to listen to. A must buy, or illegally download, whatever.

Amazing LP. Best and most provocative release since "The King of Limbs", and previously "All The Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood".

The word you are looking for is "piqued"

Good description there, I agree.

I will always be an "old Kanye" fan but his new stuff is always interesting.

While I think Kanye is a total clown, I'm able to separate the art from the artist enough to really enjoy the last album. I'm excited to check this one out.

My first listen through was Friday and I wasn't too happy with it. But I listened to it probably 4 more times and it's gotten better each time. It's good. Its only downfall is that it is too short. I agree with you that Fantasy is better though, but that could change. The second half of Yeezus is basically flawless from Hold My Liquor to Bound 2. My favorite track is definitely I'm in It.

I agree the second half is phenomenal. Hold my liquor starts a string of great songs. I like hold my liquor or send it up the most but they are all great.

This album has amazing production. This is the album daft punk wished it could make. Breaking molds and setting the stage for the next 5 years in hip hop. The featured artists are subtle with the focus still on kanye but they fit perfectly into each song. It is dark, offensive and great. I think it is him trying to confront his past demons while he prepares himself to be a father.

If you are a dark depressed person you will like this album

I thought it was really the perfect length. I listen to a lot of rap albums, and most of them honestly get kind of boring toward the end. There's definitely something to be said for keeping it short IMO.

I see your point there. The length has been ideal for my commute to work, actually. I guess I'd just never buy such a short album.

Lost a lot of older fans.... Gained newer, mostly white fans. Album is complete trash . Kanye has been a real but job since his mom died.

You were cool with 808s but this was the final straw?

"Want my old sh*t, buy my old albums"

Nah 808s was trash too!

Taking music away from mainstream is the new mainstream thing to do.

If you want to be mainstream nowadays you need to make an un-mainstream album.

You are aware that Daft Punk co-produced the first 3 tracks on Yeezus right?

Like another poster said, it's music for people with a low IQ.

No, it's music for people who like that kind of music. Some are much smarter than you, some are gigantic morons. Name some band who you think "smart" people listen to and I can assure you there are f*cking idiots listening to them.

No need to get so uptight and defensive Denny. I'm not the idiot that thought piqued was spelled peaked. Yes, I do believe that is shit music as well.
