New York Times Reviews Kanye West’s New Album
Let me be the first to say I don’t think this album, titled 808′s & Heartbreaks, will be a shining moment for Kanye. For all his critics waiting to see him fall, here it is. Why he chose to make this type of album, I don’t know. Maybe his arrogance has clouded his judgement. It does have some good tracks, I’ve posted some under “Download This” and mentioned him on my thoughts about rappers wanting to be singers. This is only one review so I don’t want to jump to conclusions. When you become as big of a star as Kanye, you get to enjoy the adulations of your fans and peers. When you don’t deliver, you must be prepared for the backlash. I hope Kanye has grown some extra skin because the next several months might not be kind to him.
