*insert name of former LCD Soundsystem member* - "Hey James [Murphy], I started a new band. Lemme sign to DFA yo." James - "Aight." I'm so into it.

I'm not sure if I like the new album just yet, but I'm relieved that Sigur Ros are using drums again...

I usually don't talk about leaks but since I think this one was done by a PR team, Yeezus is a fucking glorious mess. It's going to alienate some huge fans and intrigue some people who have never given a shit about Kanye before. It doesn't sound like Death Grips really but that's the reference point that people are going to be using the most.

Kanye's best album in ages imo. Major kudos to all the producers.

I'm seriously giddy over how much I love this album. I'm also irreparably stoned.

The first half of the album is flawless, second half is a little more scattered but I still love it. Not even going to attempt to place it within his catalog yet but I'm definitely pleased.

Is everyone else's 10 tracks and 40 minutes long? It's a little shorter than I would have expected.

Yea I read that earlier. Typical Rubin stroking his fatass ego.

Holy shit. It's been awhile since an album has hooked me on the first listen. I REALLY dig it.

I've been doing really good about not pirating music for a while now but with the new Sigur Rós being so close, and now all this praising Yeezus, I feel my moral resolve starting to waiver. Don't know if I'll be able to hold out til Juneteenth.

Empire of the Sun's new album is streaming too. I'm actually enjoying it more than Walking on a Dream. Just like how they got overshadowed by Sigur Ros at Sasquatch...they got overshadowed by Yeezus

Can't get over how awesome this new Kanye album is. It's like Kanye, Death Grips, and Odd Future had a baby and produced an album.

Empire of the Sun weren't 'overshadowed' by Sigur Ros at Sasquatch. They were embarrassed.

The New York Times on Yeezus:
"It presents Kanye as nothing less than the Johnny Rotten of his generation... The raw, dark and minimalist reliance on stabbing, bristling synths recalls a sound pioneered by acts like Ministry, Skinny Puppy and Nine Inch Nails 20 years ago. But it finds a hip-hop corollary for it and adds many serrated twists of its own, aided by key production from Daft Punk and Rick Rubin... In hip-hop terms, it’s the hardest-rocking work since the early ’90s peaks of Public Enemy and LL Cool J. It’s just the album it should be: a chutzpah classic."
Holy shit. I do believe my moratorium on downloading pirated music may be briefly lifted as soon as I get home from work.
