Kanye West - 808's And Heartbreak

Paranoid isn't even close to the best song on the album, if anything it's the most friendly sounding pop track but that's about it. It's a good track but others are better like Welcome to Heartbreak. I'm really starting to like Street Lights too. I never thought Kanye was making a mistake doing this album and he sure didn't, good album, Rap or not.

Also, I fuck with him using the Roland throughout.
 
whether the public loves or hates this album, its still going to be the most talked about album of the end of the year.

i think for an artist thats the best reception to get.

Yah, if thats the case, he probably only likes All Eyes on Me, because Ambitionz starts the cd. lol

honestly, i NEVER heard anyone say they didnt like that song. Even non-fans.

i think every album pac created before he died had amazing opening songs, he never picked a bad intro.
 
Just got this today. Played it about one and a half times through. My opinions will probably change as I listen to it more, but I'm rather on the fence with this. In all honesty, I would be much happier if this was a rap album, but I do like some of this on here.

Street Lights and Pinocchio Story really stand out to me. I've been reading reviews on here and amazon and I don't think I have heard one person say they love Pinocchio Story, but I think it's much better than most of the album. I really am not crazy about the first song.

I'll keep replaying this. It's different.
 
I gave it a couple of listens. I love it. It is original, fresh, and you can feel it comes form the heart. Very emotional indeed, something you wouldn't necessarily expect from somebody like Kanye who has a very very very big ego.

I am loving Welcome to Heartbreaks right now, Bad News sounds good too. I love Heartless. I'm still not a fan of Robocop although it has grown on me.

Funny you say that. I feel no sincerity when I listen to this, or any of his other music. One of the main reasons I don't kanye.

PS this album blows donky dicks. Some decent beats tho.

Well for 1st it's pretty rare you'd hear any rapper sing love songs and heartbreaks songs like Kanye did on this album. Maybe the modified voice doesn't help, but he definitely put his heart on each track. I can't say in his work in general there is that much sincerity or emotions, but on this record I can say I feel 100% confident that Kanye is sincere. You don't just put out music like this just to do it. He wouldn't possibly compromise his big ego reputation over songs like this if he didn't mean them.

Well Like I said I don't hear any sincerity when I listen to this. And what reputation is Kanye compromising? He's been known as a bitch since his first album.

"My friend showed me pictures of his kids
And all I could show him was pictures of my cribs
He said his daughter got a brand new report card
And all I got was a brand new sports car"

"Chased the good life my whole life long
Look back on my life and my life gone"

That's pretty sincere to me.

The words are sincere yes. The voice behind them isn't. Like I said I hear no emotion in his voice. Maybe its the auto tune but I doubt it,
 
I thought it was a pretty solid album, the voice thing was annoying at first but it grew on me, I'm not saying I would like Kanye to keep this doing his songs like this though. My fav's were Welcome To Hearbreak, Heartless, Robocop, Street Lights, Coldest Winter, and Love Lockdown.
 
Supposedly "Paranoid" is being re-recorded with Rihanna. This could prove interesting.
