James Greenwood Considering his scale, that’s not a terrible review. He’s said before that a 5 means he likes parts of the album a lot but no others and it’s just decent. That’s “okay” for him, which makes sense. For some reason people think anything a 7 and under is bad.

[@jamesgreenwood8000]

Haut Strange I feel like he was overly critical on the album though. I’m suprised he hasn’t done a redux review on it considering it seems to have grown on everyone throughout the last few years

[@HotStrange]

James Greenwood He did a redux for the Life of Pablo so all things are possible. It’s at least a 7, imo.

[@jamesgreenwood8000]

Haut Strange At the very least a decent 8. I think it should be a light 9 tho

[@Zyxxus619]

I think in a lot of people's top 3 Kanye albums, it usually includes MBDTF and College Dropout. But the 3rd album is usually completely different depending on the person and their tastes. Loved old Kanye? Probably Late Registration. Vibe with autotune or R&B? 808s and Heartbreak. Like chaotic and experimental production? Yeezus. Positive message with industrial influences? Kids See Ghosts. Religious or gospel? Jesus is King. You have to give him credit for changing his sound and style with every release. Over the years he has made a song for almost everyone.

[@buttermilkjesus408]

[@Rkitt8]

This is the best analysis of an album or music ever. Just amplifies how much a genius we have in Kanye. I’m NOT trying to be that guy...but my other favorite genre is death metal...when Yeezus came out I recognized what he was doing. When showing this album to friends in 2013 I emphasized that it was like a punk hip hop album. I recognized how fucking mold shattering Yeezus was immediately. Mostly because of the novelty of how different it was. This is tied with MBDTF as my favorite Ye album

[@DonteBennett]

Yeezus is pure egotism, squeezed fresh, refined, bottled and splashed across the most violent and dynamic soundscapes you could possibly imagine. Fucking glorious.

[@HotStrange]

Emme I’m assuming you have, but if you haven’t, definitely dig into his catalogue some more. Life of Pablo, College Dropout, Late Registration, and Ye are all fantastic. Yeezus is good. Graduation and 808s are decent. The Jesus album is kinda trash.

[@wolfganginvasion]

Haut Strange 808s is a fucking godsend and JESUS IS KING is the truth that we needed in such a time as now.

Haut Strange Graduation decent??? It’s a masterpiece.
