Kanye West: MBDTF

---

So today, Kanye West dropped his new album, titled My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I've been listening to this album for a few weeks now, and let me be the first to say it is truly an amazing piece of work. Kanye has taken all his pent up emotion/ frustration with himself and his surroundings, and twisted it into something innovative and unique.

In my opinion, his best album yet...

Make sure you check out the Complex Magazine article about the making of this album, and check out a review of the album over at the Rolling Stone.

Oh yea. Don't forget to download the album and listen to it non-stop.

Ratatat-LP4 Review

At this point in time, I am sick of everything I've heard on the radio, TV, etc... crappy club songs that are made to be ringtones, not ACTUAL MUSIC. It seems that artists are so concerned with making a buck, they forget that music is an art form, meant to invoke thoughts and emotions.

Having said that, coming across anything musically unique these days is extremely rare. LP4 takes everything you knew about electro sounds and puts a twist on it. Combining these retro, 8-bit noises with the guitars and synth sounds creates a soundscape with a perfect balance of analog and digital; the perfect blend of past and future. If you wanna hear some sounds you've never heard before, be sure to check out this album!

My favorite thing about this album is the way I find myself trying to make up a story to go along with the music. The sounds of a book without the visuals. It leaves alot to the imagination, while conveying the emotion through the sounds and the dramatic tonal changes.
