(kind of can't believe how a stark megalomaniacal performance with hot dancers changed my mind on this song so quickly)

(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

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

in all the songs, this album's pretty emo

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"

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

Am I really hearing Nicki Minaj... making sense and not being entirely punchable?

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

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

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

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

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
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:46 (thirteen years ago) link
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
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:49 (thirteen years ago) link
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
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:50 (thirteen years ago) link
"Runaway" musically is also pretty dope until the autotune nonsense
the way it builds is just great
also lol for all time at Kanye sending girls pictures of his dick and then writing it in a song and then the pictures turning up on the internet
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:52 (thirteen years ago) link
like for real, I think the chorus to this song is fucking fantastic
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:53 (thirteen years ago) link
i still love this album and the pitchfork score just reinforces how surreal and logic defying its appeal is
― samosa gibreel, Monday, 22 November 2010 19:53 (thirteen years ago) link
djp u are enjoying this record in all the right ways imo
― samosa gibreel, Monday, 22 November 2010 19:54 (thirteen years ago) link
like that highly reverbed hit that substitutes in for a snare hit on the second half of the chorus is a tiny detail but one that adds momentum to the beat and pulls it forward into awesome
of course things start getting incredibly self-indulgent around 3:30 but for some reason I'm not mad about it, maybe because the string chords that pull in shortly before 4:00 really fill out that sound
there's some really effective heart-on-sleeve warmth all through this beat in terms of the selection of that analogue bass synth and the tinny reverb on the Penderecki-esque piano bit
and yes, it should stop at 5:50, I do agree with that
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:57 (thirteen years ago) link
actually this extended coda would have been okay without the autotune over it
as it stands it's just kind of like "dude I know you love this song and it's incredibly dope but now your just rubbing it raw"
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 20:00 (thirteen years ago) link
grr "you're"
okay I was a little disappointed that "Hell of a Life" wasn't full-on 6/8 but the 3-against-2 is actually kind of hot
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 20:01 (thirteen years ago) link
ha, so it's like "how can I make this song more awesome to DJP after piling it full of polyrhythms.... oh I know, I'll put in an a capella break"

why the hell don't I have any John Legend albums, is what I want to know right now
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 20:07 (thirteen years ago) link
what makes this album fascinating/enjoyable to me is its imperfection
this is true -- my prob is that this is true for every single kanye album, & of course by proxy kanye himself -- and 'my dark twisted fantasy' is not his best/10.0 album
