      a NOT GOOD is better than a 0 or even 1. He gives NOT GOODs only to albums about which there isn't much else to discuss, usually by new artists. Someone like Kanye won't be able to get a NOT GOOD because there's so much to discuss if he made a bad album.

      @@StrawberryLanza I cannot believe that a person on this green earth can say those words unironically. Are you deaf?
      I can kinda understand Runaway, I strongly disagree but I get it. But Power has bad mixing? That's literally one of the best mixed songs of all time, with one of the most unique beats in hip hop history. It has three separate samples in the first 45 seconds of the song in ways that all uniquely add to the overall experience. And worst of all, Devil in a New Dress is too quiet?! What the fuck are you even talking about 💀
      Did you listen to it with like, broken headphones or something? What part of the song is quiet? Just because the song isn't bombastic doesn't make it quiet. In fact, that lack of bombast is part of what makes Devil in a New Dress my favorite song of all time. It has an impeccable mood, starting with the fantastic beat and very evident emotional rawness in Kanye's voice, before a fucking awesome Mike Dean guitar solo and an amazing Rick Ross verse.

    OK OK! So I just listened to MBDTF **for the first time** and knowing about your review of the album for a very long time, I was expecting the record to be just OK. People kept calling it one of the best albums ever and yadda yadda but, thanks to your reviews and finding hella good music, I was really expecting this album to not hit as much as people have said, but, man...this album is damn near flawless to me. MBDTF is amazing, it sounds like all the best sounds of that era in music in which I grew up.

    I don’t think this album has no skips and every song is great, but as a whole project it’s amazing, it all just works as an album and showcases everything Kanye has been about up until that point, silly lyrics with a thought provoking line thrown in every now and then, grandiose and well produced beats, great features and a vague, underlying sonical and overall theme.
    If I ever want to get someone into Kanye I tell them to start here because it’s a good place to understand his sound

    The year is 2042. The white house announces that the president, Ye North-West has died. The funeral, held in the politician/musician's hometown, is attended only by those close to him. His wife, Vinetria, his husband, Kanye West. As well as all close friends and family members. As well, Anthony fantano comes. He is the world's biggest Ye fan, and a respected critic of his work. He has remained that way even through backlash and controversy. He loved Ye's works, and prepared a speech going through the life of pab- Ye. Some other people come up to the podium at the funeral, and go through their own speeches. Anthony remains stoic and serious, despite some of the world's most beloved music playing, Ye's entire discography. Finally, it's his turn. He walks up to the microphone, glancing down at his flashcards, right as the final song of Donda ends. Anthony takes a deep breath, when suddenly, he hears a familiar tune. MBDTF begins playing, and immediately, melon's flight or fight instinct kick in, but he freezes. Having nearly died after the Threedux review received immense hate, he buried this album from his memory. As the true reality of the situation sinks in, he thinks back to his reviews of the album. All three were 6/10s, and that's all he can muster. After a long silence, he begins yelling uncontrollably; "SIX OUT OF TEN, SIX OF TEN" shortly afterwards being escorted out by secret service agents. Melon loses all credibility after a video of his incident is published online. Melon spirals into despair, doing anything he can to remain relevant. He published redux reviews of every album he reviewed. He gives A2TC a 10 and TPAB a NOT GOOD. But, ultimately it fails, and pitchfork buys his channel for 10$ and 5¢. Melon eventually locks himself inside his home, listening to Nostalgia critic's "The Wall" on repeat, never to be seen again.

      Sometimes people begging you to love something is precisely why it can be so easy to see it as relatively bland. The higher you set a person's expectations and/or the higher you set the bar for greatness then the sharper their scalpel of scrutiny is going to be. Case in point, Kanye would've had more fans over the years if it wasn't for him practically begging people to see him as a genius; some humility would've done wonders for his career.

    I enjoyed the deep dive on this redux review. A lot of things I never even noticed from the lyrics that you pointed out here and I think I always liked the album. Never was my favorite like many Kanye fans but I see the art in it. That whole part of penitentiary chances, the devil dances, and autumn falls low key blew my mind when I really looked at the layers of it. Never thought very much about those lyrics for some reason. I just always just focused on some image of the devil rubbing his hands together over locking people up and teasing them with freedom only to be locked up again. But the multiple layer multiple use of ''autumn' is really clever and very symbolic in many ways. Especially looking back from now where Kanye is living as a Christian and how maybe he would interpret this line today with the whole Fall of man in the bible, or perhaps he intentionally meant that line to be interpreted. So many meanings spring out of those opening lines that I always glossed over them and tried catching up on the meaning in later verses.

    gorgeous reminds me of a pre battle speech type build up, with an internal rap style almost like hes talking to himself at times, then addressing us with what he comes up with. i think its placed well on the album, and the production is almost necessary… considering he writes cinematically.

    While I massively disagree with this review, I do really appreciate you actually going into detail. The big problem I had the the original review is that I don’t think it really went into free ail or explained itself, whereas here you were really clear and explained all your decisions. Shows how much you’ve improved as a reviewer over the last 10 years

    This is a very thoughtful review, Anthony. Despite what the comments overwhelmingly say, I think your points were put much more admirably this time- and I still don’t agree with you on a lot of points! But what a boring world this would be if every big critic mindlessly fellated every single beloved album in existence.
