![]() I don’t think Kanye has, nor will he, miss with his beats and background music. The only good thing about this album is his instrumentals. Kanye declared this album to be “the real him” as he made Ye without taking his bipolar medication. It is another “Will he, won’t he go insane” album. Kanye’s now self-titled album as he tried to change his name to simply Ye. A great album for sure, but it’s super low songs are what holds it back from being amazing. His best song on the album, No More Parties in LA, highlights his struggles with the press focused on him 24/7, and also features an amazing verse from Kendrick Lamar. While this album has told the best story so far, most songs just aren’t amazing. However, he seems to find reconciliation with God, as the intro track Ultralight Beam and songs like Low Lights have people’s testimonies being important parts of the song. Songs like Freestyle 4 and I Love Kanye have some of the strangest sounds, and these two songs, while not especially good by any means, show that Ye is losing it, he’s crazy, and he doesn’t know where to go. ![]() This is actually very understandable, as several celebrities publicly say they want peace, with some of their reactions being funny or downright crazy. It shows him trying once again to not go insane, as he talks about how all he wants is just a few seconds of free time, away from the lights, the paparazzi, everybody. ![]() In this album, Kanye seems to stick with his theme of creativity, as many new or unfamiliar sounds or lyrics appear throughout Ye’s eighth studio album The Life of Pablo. Certainly up there for the most creative album, though, so credit to West for trying. That’s why the original thoughts on this album will stay the same: it’s pretty good, but nothing super special. However, the creativity, while great in some areas, doesn’t quite work out in others. When Yeezus ran through my ears for the first time, there were experimental sounds, but did not seem super different from other albums.īut giving it a second run through, it is obvious how Kanye tried so many different things with this album. The song Black Skinhead literally uses breathing as part of the beat. Starting the whole album with a static-like sound, with the pitch rising and falling somewhat describes the entire album. What is by many thought to be one of the most experimental albums ever, was Kanye’s 2013 album Yeezus. ![]()
