Kanye West - 808's and Heartbreak

 

Boys and girls, let me start by saying I know I'm gonna get shit for posting this, but it must be posted. This album is absolute thizz (that's a good thing - thizz)! This is much different from his previous albums, mainly apparent from the absence of any rapping on his behalf. As I recall there was only one guest artist who rapped a verse. I've listened to this a couple times through now, and I'm amazed. It's a dark, heavy compilation of songs dealing with his breakup with his fiance and the death of his mother. The beats are incredible but simple. Kanye said he was going for a "minimal but functional" approach. There's lots of contrast here, too. Many songs have a nice light sound, but, as implied by the title, this album deals with heartbreak. If you're open to something either than what we usually discuss here, then please check this out.

Not being rude or anything, and I know this is the Non HH related music thread, but you really should have resisted, really you should. ;)

Rumor has it that this is going to sell around 450,000 copies this week and beat the new GNR easily.

I think a Cliff Richard thread would get more positive posts than this :unsure:

 

 

Steady!! ;)

 

Anyways, has anyone gone out and bought Kanye's masterpiece yet? I went out and got three copies this morning just on the recommendation from riding a shag pile carpet boy. :bowdown:

Is that all? I thought for sure I'd be crucified for this.

Now, what I wanna know is, out of all those that harassed and criticized me for this, how many of you were curious enough to sample it? It's obviously a rhetorical question. You guys are hilarious!

Mate, you can't turn on a radio without hearing his shit all over it. You can't turn on a TV without seeing an ad for his upcoming tour of Australia (sampling a lot of his "finest work"). As much as we pray for a world where you don't hear this kind of shit, sometimes you can't avoid it. You really think everyone here doesn't have very, very good reason to hate this crap? What is anything it has in common with any of the music people on this site enjoy???

 

And what next? We listen to the new Usher and Nelly albums too?

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}
    • Your Eyes - Darkstone (2024) Two versions of my song number 6     https://suno.com/song/e8c1e85b-21ee-4d35-a64b-e786f00944d2   https://suno.com/song/9144c77a-bd7c-49c1-9508-f724d0832fdb
    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
