    I've always wondered why there was so much acclaim for this album ever since it was release. I like Kanye as an artist and I have gotten into his work. My least favorite album of his is Yeezus. I just don't see what qualities make it a masterpiece like some people say it is. What do you guys think about it and why?

    It's a modern masterpiece, it is creative and abrupt. You either love it or hate it.

    It's my least favourite Kanye album but I like it. It has some amazing songs (BoTL, New Slaves for example). And it's creative. It's not for everyone

    -Love the production on it. Maybe it isn't the most experimental hip-hop production ever, but for someone on the level of Kanye to take that risk and have it pay off, it's great.
    -What Kanye lacks in lyricism he makes up for it with pure energy/charisma and quotables. It's a strangely catchy album.

    Those are my main two reasons for liking it.

    5 songs went from good to great, the other 5 s----d or didn't have replay value due to s-----y lyrics or "look at me i'm a genius i can do anything" production that didn't work. 5/10 overhyped album. I would listen to any of his other albums before this one. It just didn't appeal to me in the long-run although it was an interesting attempt at doing something different

    probably his best album. my favourite song changed from new slaves black skinhead to bound 2 then hold my liquor, blood on the leaves on sight. just shows how many great songs on it. it reminds me of a el-p album.
