On, yeah that
Well, I genuinely think there are some moments that are custom made for louder on that album. Really, part of what's so surprising about your disapproval of the record is that when I hear it I think, "man, Louder's gonna dislocate a shoulder throwing his hands up to this shit!"
I'm going to go back to only paying attention to Kanye as an artist. I'm dropping his Twitter feed (I've already thrown some well intentioned but still somewhat scathing remarks at him in the past 24 hours), because I think paying attention to the non-musical elements of his crazy nature makes it harder to like him. Even for me. So I'm issuing an era of Kanye radio silence. I will reconsider if he Fucking allows me to buy the album that I've worn my thumbs out promoting, praising and defending over the last five days (goddamnit Kanye!!) For now though, I'm going back to where it all started. The media coverage and the constant tweets and new/rehashed articles do impact people's opinions.
I think Rolling Stone is partly to blame for the album being so polarizing. They wrote that article saying, essentially, that he was done, that he was ripping off Max B, that this album would disappoint... Kanye certainly read that, and what do you know? A few days later he's changing the title and switching the album around and trying to avoid the fate that RS had predicted. He got all nervous about his legacy and sales and being labeled "done" that he's now too afraid to release the album, fearing, most likely, that it will be his first non #1 record or undersell Yeezus (which statistically speaking, it probably will do... ESPECIALY if he *only releases it on fucking TIDAL so that he has no chance of getting high sales.)
