The music, the lyrical complexity, punchlines, the guest roster… Pretty much everything is an improvement. ![]() ![]() “Listening to kanye west’s new album is like swimming around in a swimming pool filled with Picassos and horny mona lisas” critics (such as myself) in recent interviews, primarily for apparently neglecting to give him credit for the amount of influence he wields – that was never the issue, FYI – he seems to have at least focussed on, as I put it a couple of weeks ago in an editorial on the matter, the creation and distribution of his “art.” And here is the short spoiler: Kanye West has made the most impressive album of his career, have absolutely no doubt of this. But this is the kind of album you need to let wash over you, so don’t expect it to give you “a happy ending.” That may be hard, considering the GOOD Friday free gifts, leaks, interviews and hype. The one piece of advice I’d dispense, if you were one of the few that hasn’t actually heard it yet, is to leave your expectations at the door. “Apparently the new Kanye LP is sex incarnate, I look forward to being disappointed with it, just like with everything else Kanye has done.” album in six years, Taylor Swift, “Through the Wire,” Auto Tune, ego, soul, tantrum, producer-rapper, overblown, genius… You know the Kanye West story it needs little repetition.
