totally didn't understand this album, but I read a great review that gave good context/perspective.

glitter on the wet streets, silver over everything

this is what bi-polar sounds like

biggie smalls is the illest

While the music may not be as iconic as others, this album marks the return of the artist to work (Bowie hadn't released an album for almost 10 years).

man, I haven't heard this album in decades. felt like finding an old familiar lost shoe.

Respect the game, that should be it;
What you eat don't make me shit.

watch video of the band. hep af.

grandma sent a check for $10 when I turned thirteen. I spent it on this cd. I wrote her a letter thanking and explaining my masterplan to collect all beatles' records in my lifetime.

that's when it started.

Not an interesting album by Kanye standards. It takes the spirit of Graduation and Dropout (both amazing albums) to push recycled tropes in a directionless manner. The album intro: an airy voice providing a bit of non-sense narration has been done sooo many times. But does he do something inventive? Does she become a character like on ATCQ:Midnight Marauders? No. Does she reappear later to provide insight or relatability? No. Does she provide any value at all besides clicking off the cliche check-box? No. She's included only to say: what follows is semi-clever fully-confused claptrap.

This is just the first three seconds, I know. But everything on here is a rehash, and it just gets boring. Unacceptable for anyone calling themselves the GOAT.

imagine this did very well in UK. can hear where Matt Berry was influenced.

I do not prefer the pixies

got this on Christmas day . . . lol everybody's buying

5 stars for Sam the Man; -1 for live album

the title is a tongue in cheeks reference.

name is misleading

banger after banger

not a lot that interests me here.

this is literally the music I listened to growing up.

the guy's voice is a lot. second half-ish of the album was more interesting.

thought the album cover was a laugh at first (see: nan and brian in bed), but it provides context for one of the album's themes: just kids dealing with some grown-ass business.
