Posted in Music Tagged 808s and heartbreak, album, auto tune, electronic, hip-hop, kanye-west, rap, review Leave a comment I know I’ve done ratings out of 10 in the past, but I figured it would be easier to list what I have rated each song in my iTunes library. Song Ratingsįyi: I do not have a standard rating system. If you have the biggest ego in the world, you better have some quality material to back it up. This doesn’t really bother me, because tons of crap gets passed as quality on top 40 radio stations everyday, but I did expect more from Kanye. The first two singles were carefully picked, and they are doing their job. In conclusion, this album will sell tons. He needed to keep it on (so I flip flop about the Auto Tune… maybe he just shouldn’t sing). The strings and glittery bells belong in a Christmas compilation album, and at some point in the song, Kanye ditches the Auto Tune. Aside from the lyrics, I also can’t stand the music to the song. If Kanye is just having fun with his lyrics and don’t mean anything by the references to Misery, the joke was lost on me. But when Spank Rock raps about Backyard Betty, it’s tongue-in-cheek. Again, let me clarify that every song in my library isn’t a deep, introspective on human emotions. The majority of the lyrics don’t make sense, and those that do are just ridiculous. I cannot figure this song out for the life of me. Picking out the biggest offender, I especially loath the song RoboCop. Maybe it’s me, but this combo does not scream experimental or pop in any way/shape/form. Go to Kanye r/Kanye Posted by PuzzleheadedBus112. Taken as a whole, it seems that Kanye wanted to break molds, so for some reason he picked the effect that has framed T-Pain as a one-trick-pony and the drum machine that everyone in electronic music has used at one time or another to make beats. The formula of using Auto Tune over every vocal paired with simplistic beats constructed on a Roland TR-808 makes a couple interesting experiments, not an album. From Paranoid (featuring someone with a very average voice) on, this album was torturous for me to listen to. Solid song (but let’s not get into the music video).Īnd that’s as far as the complements go. And I don’t really try to ever get it out of my head, it’s just catchy. On top of that, I constantly find myself singing the chorus to this song. Even though 808s is already about his depression at two major losses of love and companionship, Pinocchio Story makes me go back and listen even more so to the. I love the breathy flute/woodwind stabs featured throughout the song. Pinocchio Story is Kanye's completely raw and un-altered emotions: no autotune, no loud and catchy beat, nothing to obscure the fact that Ye is telling us how real his sense of loss is. The same applies for the album’s second single Heartless. As far as the Auto Tune goes, I think it’s used appropriately here as an instrument and not as a coverup for poor vocals. It’s a well-intentioned crack at a minimal pop song (but the hip hop still lurks somewhere in the background). ![]() The first single Love Lockdown, which Kanye premiered live at the MTV 2008 VMAs deserves some credit for delivering on what was promised. ![]() But an album of filler does not cut it for me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t need 12 singles to think an album is good I wouldn’t even say that one is necessary (ie. This album has 2 (maybe 3) songs that are single material and the rest are filler. Just as I hadn’t really listened to a TON of Radiohead before In Rainbows, I wanted 808s & Heartbreak to make me fall in love with Kanye, to look past the asshole persona and see some genius inside. I enjoyed Kanye’s previous albums, and while I found it odd that everyone of his songs relied so heavily on sampled material, he is without a doubt mastered the skill. In all honesty, I wanted this album to blow me away. Unfortunately, rap’s megastar has decidedly turned his back on the genre in some misguided attempt to save pop music. He was a producer-to-the-stars before The College Dropout, and he has gone nowhere but up since that first album came out in 2004. It seems that ragging on Kanye West for anything other than his oversized ego and inappropriate public outbursts was off limits.
