my big problem with narsh is that his critical vocabulary seems to be limited to these insane, fantastical over-the-top laudatory phrases, and he writes so much to the point where they lose their meaning. when he says something is "utterly fantastic" or whatever i can't tell if i should read that as "7/10, pretty good" or if he really means it.

well if you're argument is that it lacks replay value, you're a bit off there buddy

For somebody so passionate about discussing music, you can't seriously think that your listening experience is universal. I could write 10,000 words for it and then 10,000 words against it. Anybody who's taken AP English could do that. Arguing over music is like Goku vs. Superman. Conserve your energy, bro.

Not implying that you shouldn't review Kanye tracks. You obviously have a thorough understanding of Kanye's music. I'm just saying being so militant about your opinion is ridiculous. Then again, this post was made to provoke response so who am I to criticise for getting one. Bukowskian recklessness.

Anyone who thinks all day or only one are anything less than fantastic can honestly f--- right off

More like "One Day" because that's how long I was listening to it. AMIRITE?

Quality threads get like 5 replies.

Gonna need you to tone it down just a bit.

I think it was more along the lines of "give it five" .. something like that

haven't read through here yet, but I'm really curious to hear what Narsh thinks. Probably hasn't even posted a detailed response yet

Right, because NO ONE was talking about the ENTIRE beat being structured around old b-sides of Macca whistling, and the great outro which basically switches genres on us out of nowhere.

And I hate the mentality that a song/album/project/etc is lesser because it didnt perfectly match the expectations you had for it.

Only thing something not matching your exceptions proves is that your expectations were off base lol. From there on, its still all about being rational and not letting your biases dictate your thoughts on the track

I thought All Day was gonna be as intense as the live version -- it's not. It's probably better for it...it's more accessible, and less grating. The production is still impeccable, and endlessly entertaining...not to mention just interesting in general. The way it seems to build on the operatic feel of like "HAM" or something, but while incorporating elements from Yeezus. It builds up only to strip everything away and show you the bare bones behind it all -- the whistling. And then goes into a complete tonal shift.

It's also political, self-empowering, and just a good listen in general.

it also kind of plays like a sequel to n----s in paris -- and is just as good in every way.


dont let your pre convinced notions effect your enjoyment of the track in front of you

I literally had to forced myself to stop playing All Day. This song is a 10/10 b-----r, but you say it has poor replay value? It's impossibru!
