I can't get behind Yeezus. The production is unique, but Kanye's lyricism feels stunted. I don't get it. Black Skinhead and New Slaves are cool enough but, like Death Grips, the whole album sounds sporadic and disjointed to me. I found 808s & Heartbreaks to be far more interesting and clever in its assembly, Yeezus just strikes me as a mess. Kanye generally isn't my cup of tea either way, so the album probably isn't for me to begin with.
