      808s & Heartbreak

      Kanye's new album.

      It's very different.

      But it's a good different.

      It's a lot more mellow than his previous stuff. I like his use of Auto-Tune vocals, and the TR-808(hence the name) beats are real smooth.

      This isn't a typical rap album, but I really like it.

      I really suggest you check it out. A lot of people are knocking on him for not doing another full on rap album, but they're closed-minded. It's nice to see artists move away from their defining genre(even if only for one album) and succeed at it.

      Smoke an indica blunt and vibe to this album with some nice headphones and you're in for a good ~50 minutes.

      :peace:

      I couldn't listen to each song for more than half a minute. I couldn't decide what was worse: the cheesy melodies, the way-too-noticeable autotuned vocals which weren't that good to start with because they lacked a single trace of feeling, or the generic beetz.

      I know its going into new territories, but it doesn't know how to go about it and the sound ends up just being cluttered with layers that don't even fit together a lot of the time.

      I saw videos of Kanye in the studio making this new album, and half the time he is texting on his phone, I mean where are his priorities at?!

      Was it T-Bone that worked on that album? The stuff he does on his free time is much better.

      I am glad to see that you have a special interest in audio though, as I can see you are juggling some of tat audio terminology around.
