------------------------------------------------



So what do you guys of 'Ye's 4th album?
Me personally - i don't really like the autotune - maybe i'm just not used to it.
However, i really like the lyrics. Different theme to his previous albums.
It's been getting some pretty positive reviews as well.
One of my favourite songs on the album is prob Pinocchio Story - despite it being a live recording. I also like Coldest Winter. LOL. my favourites will prob change as i listen to it a bit more.

lol like half his album is leaked. personally i like it and i think its an interesting direction to go after what he's been doing. i like 'welcome to heartbreak' the best so far (or at the moment)

and i'm super stoked for the limited edition cover. i'm not going to buy it unless i get that one cause i have a soft spot for kaws.

sidenote: i noticed a lot of soompi doesnt really react/respond to anything kanye in general sleep.gif

i'm excited for his album.. i love the title, 808s & Heartbreak
i've only heard 'coldest winter' & 'robocop' ..along with the other two that's out of course.
i'm just gonna wait til i get the whole album ..i like it so far even if it's a new sound for him.
and i have to admit i didn't like him that much at first ..but again, gotta admit, he's really interesting.

Terrible. Kanye used to rap and have a voice, now he's a singing autotune robot. I'm REALLY disappointed in this album.

I do like Heartless....I'm not a fan of Love Lockdown, though it's easy to listen to, it just doesn't cut it for me.

i was pretty skeptical. late registration was the shiz so was college dropout so i wondered how 808s would beat them. instead he's changed his style and i really like it. i wish he tours soon AAAAHHH i would so drop everything and go.

I mean i like the songs and all, but i prefer him rapping lol. Cause he's not the best singer, but i mean i still like love lockdown and heartless. but i want the old kanye lol.

I'm not familiar with all of Kanye West's older works but I do know this is not how his music usually sound like.
More than half the tracks on the album are bordering on Electronica.
This album probably won't do well in the US, but I think it'll do well in Europe.

My faves are: Paranoid, Love Lockdown, Bad news
Overall it's a great album.

wow, i really DID NOT like this album,none of his songs were standouts. I hate that voice altering thing like lil wayne and t-pain. It seems like he is trying to sing instead of rap now. His past albums were superb, hits like jesus walks, mama, stronger, through the wire, diamonds made him stand above the rest in the hip hop scene. If he continues down this path, i no longer see myself a fan.

I freakin love kanye... even through all the cry baby episodes
I still support him...


BUT.. I just cannot even stomach to listen to this album.
I dono about the rest of the world but I'm really really not ready for K-pain.
