I probably should not be listening to this on my shitty work headphones as I think I'm missing half of the backing track for "Gorgeous"

kanye should've let dan do the commentary track

btw if ppl are annoyed by me liveblogging my first impressions of the album, I'll move to another thread
also "Gorgeous" will eventually grow on me but it feels very static on first listen

omg the "roach"/"coach" bit, lol @ u Kanye

loooooool all those ppl who forgot about Kanye's black balls should go check whatever hip-hop site that was that had his dickpic
no, your reactions are likely to be more entertaining than the album actually
xp yeah yeah yeah

... why is there a mournful guitar solo in this song
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:21 (thirteen years ago) link
a few more embellishments and I'd be like "Santana? Is that you?"
all those ppl who forgot about Kanye's black balls
pretty sure this is the album's dedication
― tween-justin-bieber-riot-of-09-pandemonium-arrests-terror+tweeting (Edward III), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:22 (thirteen years ago) link
also for the record: the opening of "Power" is still incredibly bad-ass
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:22 (thirteen years ago) link
(kind of can't believe how a stark megalomaniacal performance with hot dancers changed my mind on this song so quickly)
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:23 (thirteen years ago) link
(tho I do stand by my original assertion that a d&b beat would have been cooler on it) (lol I should skip to the Aphex song)
if yer gonna use "21st century schizoid man" as a sting cue you better follow it up with some banging shit but I got left hanging
― tween-justin-bieber-riot-of-09-pandemonium-arrests-terror+tweeting (Edward III), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:24 (thirteen years ago) link
is the Fergie rap before or after 3:20? that's my favorite part.

This is how I feel about "All of The Lights" generally

although it's funny that the mournful guitar solo actually makes sense in this song
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:26 (thirteen years ago) link
in all the songs, this album's pretty emo

lol piano and violin
this sounds kind of like a Tori Amos instrumental outtake

well I was not expecting that
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:28 (thirteen years ago) link
haha yeah it's kind of a cool moment
part of me keeps thinking that Kanye heard Bjork's "Wanderlust" and was like "if I slightly screw that it would be DOPE"

also I don't know who it was who told Rihanna that it was possible to not bray every note like a sexy donkey while singing but I would like to shake that vocal coach's hand

oh shit, "Monster" is starting very very well

I want to bounce bounce bounce to this
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:34 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah I think it sounds really good as a change of pace/direct contradiction of "All of the Lights"... but it still gets boring like halfway thru, sadly

"she just won a swallowship"
did I just hear that
my god I love this
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:35 (thirteen years ago) link
i think "monster" is great despite a few super awkward lines

oh my god
Am I really hearing Nicki Minaj... making sense and not being entirely punchable?
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:37 (thirteen years ago) link
holy fucking shit that was a great great verse
and I fucking DETEST her with every fiber of my being, or at least I did before hearing that

buying a hotly awaited new album at target in 2010
me a little while ago tbh
― markers, Monday, 22 November 2010 19:38 (thirteen years ago) link
haha I can just imagine in the studio "now, take us home, Bon Iver!"
oh man was this yr first time hearing that song? yeah, it is a really good Nicki Minaj verse dude
― underplayed junior boys remixes I have forgotten were on my comp (bernard snowy), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:39 (thirteen years ago) link
I think I have been hearing every bad song she's done because oh my GOD that was fucking TIGHT
lol I can tell already "So Appalled" is going to be one of those songs that I will fall in love with for absolutely no reason
okay maybe not after that "Prada"/"ta-da!" couplet
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:40 (thirteen years ago) link
The awesomeness of Minaj's bit= closest thing to consensus.

lol Jay-Z
"all y'all can suck my BALLZ through my DRAWAZ"
oh ha this is the verse that got him in trouble with Hammer, isn't it
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:42 (thirteen years ago) link
that line is jay-z's lowest low point imo
― ciderpress, Monday, 22 November 2010 19:43 (thirteen years ago) link
so, you know what this shit is?
that's right, it's FUCKIN RIDICULOUS (just in case you weren't sure)

probably shouldn't be taking lyrical stylistic cues from Fatboy Slim

all right I think I want to punch "Devil In A New Dress" directly in the face
think i've listened to that rick ross verse more than the rest of the album combined
― ciderpress, Monday, 22 November 2010 19:47 (thirteen years ago) link
now I KNOW I do
this is basically the Kanye production aesthetic that is entertaining when you first hear it and then becomes the most aggravating thing on earth unless it happens to be "All Falls Down"
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:48 (thirteen years ago) link
lol more sad guitar
couldn't he spring for a theremin

FUCK there are 2 minutes left in this song
yeah pretty bad song but I do like "don't leave while you're hot, that's how mase screwed up!"
― underplayed junior boys remixes I have forgotten were on my comp (bernard snowy), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:49 (thirteen years ago) link
okay Rick Ross sounds way way better on this
deeper voice against all that aggravating treble = more balanced overall sound
