    Nothing, absolutely nothing is amazing about Yeezus. It's probably the worse album to ever grace the mainstream.

    A thread about Yeezus in 2015 is pretty much worthless though :dno:

    I mean yeah, it's been discussed to death at this point but articulating why you like or dislike things can be very important as a music fan.

    It's simultaneously disjointed and cohesive and there's a strong sense of urgency. It pulls you through this trip of aggression and anger and pride and loss and hopelessness until Kanye somehow ends up in love on Bound 2. I love it. It might be my favorite album of all time.

    I definitely agree with this generally, but yeah, it's been discussed to death, the OP didn't even bother to mention his own thoughts or any valid criticism and most of the replies are "nothing's good in this album" so who cares. If you can't see what's good about it after 2 years then it's probably not an album for you. BC described it in 2 lines lol. Considering how the sound is unusual for hip hop, liking it or not is a matter of taste I guess? But its strengths are clear regardless.

    Thanks man. I usually find it hard to totally articulate, but it came to me just then. It's Kanye excising his demons before he gets married and has a kid.

    Yeezus isn't an album for traditional rap fans simple as that. If you have a shady records avy in 2015 you're not gonna get this album

    most people who don't like Yeezus use the hole in the middle of their MMLP2 disc as a fleshlight

    Mind you that I said I didn't understand the acclaim. I did not say it s----d. I like it but I don't love it like I do Kanye's other albums. I think it's good but not amazing. The only song that is truly bad imo is Send It Up

    i remeber it took me about three listens to fully start liking it. Still think its kanyes second or third worst album, but not as horrible as people/the hiphop community say it is.

    Funny you asked this because I been playing the s--- out of Yeezus lately. I actually have to say its my favorite Kanye album by far. It gives of a dark vibe and the features in this album are amazing and compliment its theme even more.

    That Assasin feature on Im in it
