I have listened to this album several times, front to back - what I have found is that this is a case of directorial-masturbation. Sadly, Kanye has reached the point where he has a fan base loyal enough to pick up and TRY anything he puts out (except some of them pay for it). I am reminded of that scene in Zoolander where Mugatu says he could wrap a piece of shit in tinfoil and hang it on a fish-hook, because people would still buy it. Were it not for the piece of crumpled tin foil that is Kanye's production, this turd on a hook would be all too visible and easily recognizable as just that: a piece of shit. The beat on the track Welcome to Heartbreak is crazy... so at this point im sitting there thinking "this may not be so bad" until the solo-scat-humming at the end of Heartless. If you dont know what im talking about put that song on right now and peep this drowning-fish-singing-its-last-hoorah display of egomaniacal idiocy at its best. Then Jeezy comes on the next track and spits some sheer stupidity about not wearing jewels in the summer. Then we have a few 80's club bangers (<--pointless), followed by the dumbest theme/hook for a song ever... EVER: ROBOCOP! I cant even go on. Nay, I shall - PINNOCHIO! Kill me. Kanye... please, stop being such a lil bitch. You're an amazing producer, but Primo dont sing and Jigga dont dance...dig? This whole album is like a nine-year-old girl whining because some boy ignored her in fourth period P.E.. Undoubtedly you had good intentions and strong feelings (snicker) behind the making of this album - your only mistake was believing we cared. In conclusion: your album-cover is an appropriate one - a heart deflated... similar to the hunger that clearly has dwindled within you. Or maybe it is WE, who have made it too easy for you to catch a meal. Regardless, if Kanye wasn't Kanye, he would have never produced these beats for an album of this kind. Bet.
