Oh yeah, 808's is great too. Musically fantastic and some decent lyrics/themes.

That's the only one of his albums I've never heard. Would you say it's worth checking out if I dislike everything else he's ever done except for Yeezus?

It all depends on how much of his auto tunage that you can stomach because it's heavily rampant throughout that album

If you like "Love Lockdown" go for it, but I don't expect it to go down nearly as well as Yeezus.

Well, that's certainly a point against it. Though I'm not a fan of his vocals in general so it might be neither here nor there.

What is "Love Lockdown"?

I don't have an issue with autotune and I think Kanye often uses it really well (No Church In The Wild is the first thing that springs to mind) but honestly I can't stand 808's. I think it's just one of those cases of an artist trying to force himself into a more "respectable" style that just doesn't work for him.

A song on the album.

I don't see it that way. He was going through a rough breakup and decided to translate into his work and came out with this moody emotional piece of work that he experimented with sonically.

Ah, like I said, I've never heard the album before. After listening to that I can't say I'm in much of a rush to do so.

**Goofle** · 06-30-2013, 08:57 AM

That's the best song so don't bother then
