Favourite song: "Runaway"
Favourite moment: After the monstrous beat comes in after the lonely piano intro of "Runaway". LOOKATYOU LOOKATYOU LOOKATYOU."
"The album can easily be summed up by adjectives in the title. Far more dark and crude than his previous works, it is also a far more grandiose production. The album flows from start to finish and is perfect mixture of everything Yeezy is from rap star to pop artist, from musician to producer. The lyrics are a confession of one of the most controversial artists in recent time.
Best Track: It was a tough choice, by All of the Lights with the Interlude. A layered and dramatic piece difficult to f"
"Hmm. I'm still pondering if this is a freaking genious album, or the most disgusting thing I've ever heard. It really seems to be the kind of record that you either love or hate. At least it has gotten some serious attention, bad and good. But I really love songs like "Gorgeous", "All of the Lights", "So Appalled" and especially "Monster".
Best song(s): Monster, Gorgeous"
