This song is amazing and my fav from the album so f***ing good

“ooh but the mix”.jpg is crazy when you’re conflating the mixing with the mastering

WHO WILL SURVIVE IN AMERICA
WHO WILL SURVIVE IN AMERICA

808s sounds way less dated than MBDTF

It really is a bunch of car commercial music + so appalled

I can just tell youve got those unmastered flacs sab

Definition of overrated but you had to be there to understand why niggas was flipping out.

once you realize the cheat code: strings + some 90s breakbeat + random vocal chop randomly pressed throughout the beat

The era loses its magic fast.

I will never forget putting it on for the first time and ascending to dark fantasy in my adolescence. Asked my dad for a red suit, he promptly shut me down and called me a . They could never make me hate you My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Finding out ye ain’t write Gorgeous legit did break high school insertcoolname’s heart ngl.

Mans is comparing Songs In The Key Of Life to MBDTF

DIAND still one of the greatest beats ever made and I hope Bink! gets his flowers for that s*** dawg.

A take that shall age more gracefully with time inshallah

Still hits like crack

It won’t but nice try.

need someone to collect all these dogshit music descriptors people like to use now

reductive anti-artist take

You can whittle everything down to ingredients, if it's just about strings and 90s breakbeat and vocal chop then AI could churn out a million of them a day

In saying this my interest in listening or talking about the album is low, I only care about the principle

one of you niggas in here really said he really tried to make an anthem with all of the lights

I’m saying it was most formulaic in this era lol.

Even back in his “xxxplosive snare or die” era there was still some sense of variety in his production.

But I understood why you kinda gotta stick to a script when you’re literally trying to get back into people’s good graces.

You replying to someone who still believes to this day his fav album was LR

i mean… 2010 was peak “make an anthem if you want a hit” era

Like I said when it came out I understood why folks was crashing out and why it was received how it was received.

The irony of MBDTF is that it’s the poster child definition of critic-bait versus a lot of albums that lot of yall on this site call critic bait, that either didn’t land well with critics or the public lol.

Peaked with Ali Bomaye.

God legit produced that beat

They just saying anything in here lol

Basically a hot takes thread

& it was one, I don’t even understand the attempted criticism there when he could have put even more features on that song if that was his whole goal instead of a version that fit the album

Yeezus

I understand what you're saying and I disagree with the principle of making it a discussion in the first place

I could give a snarky itemised list of characteristics of LR (or any YE album) that whittle it down to a formula and it would also be reductive
