Fair enough, I guess. Out of curiosity, did you like MBDTF?
For the record I loved all of MBDTF, and thought Yeezus was awful (bar Blood on the Leaves and Bound 2). I can't quantify my dislike particularly, beyond noting that to me Kanye is great as a great producer. His voice can be pretty annoying, and his lyrics dodgy. Usually his production is enough to make me overlook it. I thought the production on Yeezus was all over the place, so I didn't have much to distract me from not liking his voice or lyrics, and in fact was bad enough that I rated the sound of the album as something that dragged it down instead of the usual propping it up.
I definitely agree that the lyrics on Yeezus don't stand on their own, but I absolutely loved the sound of the album. To each his own, I guess.
I really liked about half of it, and thought the other half was meh.
Kanye West is an extremely talented musician, so even when he sucks I find it interesting.
Edit: Playing Yeezus now ... yeah, this is entirely disappointing compared to MBDTF and I'm thinking "what happened?" I realise he's going from deliberate maximalism to deliberate minimalism, but nevertheless ... He's also under the delusion he's as good at words as he is at music.
