To like this album you have to like MUSIC, and not just the hits. If you understand that music is art, and art is a form of expression, then you will love this. If you just casually listen to music only wanting something that sounds good, you won't understand how great this is. I respect Kanye and this album because of everything that has to do with it.

@legorocks3 I'm not assuming anything. I know you don't hate it anymore. But you were asking me questions still. I wanted to answer them. Things I've said in my previous comments have had nothing to do with your original comment when you hated it. However you still said you thought the lyrics were bland but you liked Street Lights. If you look at my most previous comment, I was only commenting on what you had said in your most recent comment. You're not an idiot, some things didn't make sense.

@iN31L I said the album sucked after I first listened to it.

and you're still assuming that I only like or listen to catchy music, stop assuming I can't appreciate it just cause I didn't like an album.

I don't hate it but I don't like it.

Let's end this now cause it's not really going anywhere, okay?

@legorocks3 You said even if you did only like catchy music why would I care? Because you said this album sucked. It sucks that someone only likes catchy music because then he can't appreciate non-catchy music (which a lot of good music can be). I've never called you an idiot for you not liking the album. Read my first comment again. I don't believe I was attacking you. You also said you didn't find the lyrics good, yet you like Street Lights. Also, 808's had more "catchy" songs than CD and LR.

@iN31L I was just used to the Kanye West I listened too. (Rap) In terms of production the album is fantastic (it's Kanye, what can you say?) But I really didn't like the auto tune and some of the lyrics (felt bland) If I'm gonna say the songs I liked on the album it'll be: Say You Will Bad News Love Lockdown Heartless Street Lights. That's it really My opinion on albums usually change when I listen to it for a while so maybe I shouldn't post my thoughts on it after listening to it once.

@iN31L Like I said. I posted that comment around 2 months ago

Opinions can change, it grew on me

I don't love the album now but I don't hate it as much as I did when I first heard it

YouTube only lets you post 500 characters.

and even if I only DID like "catchy music" (yeah cause all songs that are catchy are bad) why would you care?

The internet is a place for people to express themselves and their opinions.

and I think this album is pop, Kanye himself said it was pop or "Art-pop".

[iN31L]

@legorocks3 The only good thing you said about the album was that it had catchy songs. You commented on absolutely nothing else. "There is a few catchy songs but OMG the auto-tune is awful", who cares if it has catchy songs or not? That's not what you're supposed to look for when listening to albums. You brought it up twice and like I said, it's the only good thing you said about the album. If you think this is pop, you're in the wrong place my man. Graduation was more "pop" that 808's.

[legorocks3]

@iN31L Wtf.

You're assuming the only music I like is "catchy" music and you tell me to listen to freaking pop music. dude this album is POP and there is NOTHING special about the lyrics to this album.

I just don't like the album much and that's my opinion, okay?

It has grown on me since I first listened to it and posted that comment but it's not like I'm going to hope that Kanye will release another singing album like this.

It's just my opinion and thoughts, hope you can respect that.

[iN31L]

@legorocks3 You're looking for catchy songs. THAT'S the problem. You don't know how to listen to music and you don't know how to appreciate it. If you want catchy songs, go listen to pop music. You'll fit right in. I feel sorry for you and all the things you've missed out on because you wanted the song to be "catchy". Ah well, what can ya do?

FUCK YOU'LL haters!! this album is fuckin art n the auto tune used actually adds to the atmosphere of the album. you think i like auto tune but this album made me realize it just aint for sounding sexy and writing songs bout fucking. the production, the perfect use of auto tune and the lyrical genius called kanye just created a new genre of music with this album. sumtin not everyone can do. FUCK ULL TAYLOR SWIFT FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!
