that's the most ignorant thing I've ever heard.

also, I would rather an album make me feel exhausted as in 'partied out' than 'ffs, when will this track end?!'. Discovery's mediocre rating doesn't reflect it's cultural significance. I mean if you ask most people, I doubt many of them would rate it two stars.

guys criticizing Kanye is just wrong, especially after the witchhunt he went thru during Swiftgate

it really is galling that Taylor never ONCE came to his defense

especially since they were snogging
― spidermark, Sunday, 28 November 2010 19:57 (thirteen years ago) link
she may not have come to his defence, but it's not like she actively capitalised on it either. she mentioned it once, and then refused to talk to the press about it iirc & also wrote a song about it obviously, but I think it was a situation she wanted to deal with in private.

i mean interviews about her ordeal w/ country radio, an snl monologue, a song on her album - yeah she totally didn't milk 'this one time a black man interrupted me when i was speaking' like she was elie wiesel.

also this album is hella boring, luv "power" as a single tho
it's crazy how simultaneously belabored and lazy this album can sound. how is it doing on radio? i have a hard time picturing anything here being unavoidable like 'stronger' or 'gold digger'. then again eminem's been having huge hits with miserable sounding shit all year so who knows.
― balls, Sunday, 28 November 2010 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah but Eminem is an emo white dude, nowadays that's what ppl expect/want

'monster' is doing well on radio tho nowhere near gold digger level
― lotta diamonds ... but prolly more display names (deej), Sunday, 28 November 2010 20:47 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm actually kind of consistently surprised at how low "Monster" is on the R&B airplay chart (currently #36 after peaking at #30) because it's felt like it's been at "hear it every time I get in the car, often as soon as I start the car" levels of heavy rotation for a while now.

attempt at getting back into standard mode album after moody breakup detour album only you can't go home again esp if you lack the willingness or ability to do so? could be; would explain why even though i keep thinking use yr illusion that album was at it's most amusing ('get in the ring') or compelling ('estranged') at its most dark twisted moments, mdtf never approaches those highs or lows.

rehash of his old style with some jams?
this doesn't have a beck comparison. this is how i see blonde on blonde imo. i.e. no fucking quality control, stupid direction to go to, too long and yet at the height of his fame and bummed straight into the canon.

Well, no, this album just feels like listening to fourteen "Rainy Day Women"s at various speeds.

You guys make it sound a little like "There's A Riot Going On" for the 21st century.
Love Riot, can't wait to hear this insanity.

More like a There's A Riot Going On for Kanye's asshole, in that for full resonance it requires you to be up it

Even though the past decade has made "douche bag" a term used by everyone, I still have no idea what one is. And it would have been so much funnier if it was 'let's have a toast for the ball bags'.
