Welcome to Heartbreak is like listening to the problems of a depressed, drunk acquaintance of a friend of a friend you haven’t spoken to in years.

Listening to this made me feel bad for him. And that was all I got out of it. I wasn’t nodding my head, I my mouth was hanging open in shock. First, why would you put something out there that sounds like a track you made on your laptop while you were waiting for a flight? Second, how are you going to make a “blues” album that nobody can relate to? I’m sorry, Kanye, I don’t know what it’s like to have a Lamborghini instead of a daughter. I can feel your despair, but it is kind of creepy to be honest with you, because I don’t know you that well, and I’m not your therapist.

The beats? It sounds like he took Mortal Kombat arcade samples and made them WORSE somehow. Everything he is trying to do has been done before AND BETTER by the people who did it first. Get your own gimmick.

Lyrics:
“when i grab your neck i touch your soul”
what? that doesn’t even make sense. what is he trying to say? for most of his songs it sounds like he is just talking to himself, as if we’re not here.

Seriously, the more i listen to this, the sadder i am about this whole thing. They are just shoving this garbage down our throats. This sounds like my kid brother made this on fruity loops after his high school girlfriend broke up with him. They gotta make it big, so everyone goes along with it, even though “the emperor has no clothes” so to speak.

KanYe’s new “effort” is like a duck with a speech impediment: wack, wack, wack.

(kanye, please seek professional help, seriously for your own sake, don’t do anything extreme you will regret)

The album is mediocre….and trust me, I’m being generous with that opinion.

“Dear Kanye, lose the autotune & vocoder, start rapping again and stop trying to sing. You are not a good singer”

All these HATES and LIKES aside Kanye will kill em’ on the release because he is smart. I think everyone in this post has expericed one or more situations that he has talked about on this album. The ambience and the instrumental feel along with the deeply emotional lyrics will drag any person in for the ride and really put them in a state of awwwee. I’m not a fan of the autotune but I can say I am a fan of music and musically this album is great with the exception of Robocop even though it is hilarious. Kanye is like 50 in some cases “In The Money Makin Business” thats why he is releasing another album at the first of the year. And he released it at the end of this year so that he can get the album of the year cause if you have something fresh bringin in the new year thats the only sound you can pretty much wrap your ears around but if he put it out at the beginning of this year we would already be tired of it. Most albums of the year released and the end of that quarter. Its a money making game guys. Real music don’t get the notoriety that it should… You will never hear no Elzhi on the radio in regular rotation unless its a friday night flavas show or something of that sort.
