the fact that it is getting people into a genre of music they wouldnt otherwise listen to is an achievement in itself and even if it isnt the the most perfect album it will go down as one of the most influential and impacting.

 

when people (hopefully) talk about this record in 20yrs time we'll all have great stories to tell about how we discovered it, at least i will haha :D

kanye is now struggling on 93/100 after 32 reviews :P

Shoot! I'd better listen to it before it drops below 90. :escaping:

hey is GOOD Friday continuing? he said they would continue til christmas.....

Kanye Rocks !!!!!! He is a lyrical genius :dance:

I really hope that That's My Bitch is released as a GOOD Friday soon. I friggin love that song. I may like it better than anything on the new album to be honest.

Ok just found that song because I read your post and I must say it's very good. (Yeah I'm that easily influenced)

Woot. IF it gets my friggin love stamp of approval it must be good right? :P

What's this GOOD Friday thing?

Since I discovered Metric because I read you liked them and now they are one of my favorite bands, yes. :P

He's been releasing a new song every Friday. He's pretty slack about it though.

Wasn't last week the first one he missed?

He's been late a few times, too. Or maybe I'm just getting confused with time zones...

Yeah, I just think of it as a GOOD Weekend release. It has usually been out by Saturday morning when I wake up.

^^

 

yeah it usually ends up being saturday morning. remember he is doing this out of hawaii which is almost 24hrs behind NZ.

 

and i dont think we're in position to be complaining. the shear volume of his output this year has been mind blowing. he has produced quantity AND quality.

Oh no I was never complaining!

Although Bradford Cox is giving him a run for his money in terms of sheer quantity with his four releases in four days for free this week. Haven't listened to them all to judge quality.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy > Atlas Sound > Good Fridays

great review from Sydney Morning Herald today.

 

At a time when mainstream hip-hop has settled into a eulogistic, satisfied era, West masterfully builds songs that are emotionally involved and structurally surprising. He's simply doing more than anyone else operating at such a mainstream level. "Who will survive in America?" are the last, desperate words heard. The unspoken, but obvious, answer is Kanye West.

 

4 Stars

Holy SHIT, I just watched Runaway, like the long version, and it was like... AMAZING

real good. I just got the deluxe edition of the album. The movie came with it!

Yeah it was good. Very weird.

I feel really bad for hating Kanye before, gonna have to listen to some of his old stuff and see if it's as shit as I remember...

I also want to get into his back catalogue

 

And yes the dvd is great although the runaway clip sort of drags on for too long. I can only handle so much dancing.

Are you kidding? The dancing was the best part, hands down. I was entranced during that whole part.

 

I like dancing though, cuz I'm cultured :charming:
