    Guys forget the context all u want, the album is still disappointing. We all knew it from the first listen. Are u telling me it gave u the same feeling as other Kanyes albums ? Did it blow ur mind? It left me cold

    Folks, even as a Kanye fan, I can say with confidence that the album is not good.

    Pay for the review.

    That is all.

    But I mean why does it have to detract from it or be used as criticism at all? I understand if you want to judge it like that but why is it as necessary as you're making out?

    I honestly believe art should be generally judged in a vacuum, most people dont even give a s--- about anything outside of the art they are experiencing. Its really only a select amount of people that let the artists actions and opinions impact their opinions on the work. So I guess youre just reviewing the album for yourself and the small amount of people who think like you do.

    Ah okay. I didn't follow it all that closely. I didn't even know he had an album coming until the day it dropped. I thought it was months away.

    Regardless, I don't see why that should detract from the album. It should just be judged in a vacuum. You obviously just don't like it though. "Supremely boring, hacky album" seems really harsh lol. It's growing on me the more I listen to it. I find the fact that it was rushed endearing. It's very in the moment. Think it's pretty cool for one of the biggest artists in the world to make a decision like that. Even down to the album cover. He took the picture on a plane like a week before its release. He's a very authentic person. That's a big part of the message for me. It's admirable. I know some may think I'm stanning or reaching for feeling this way but like I said... I didn't even know the album was coming soon. I love Kanye as an artist but who doesn't really.
