My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Couldn’t bring myself to listen to this. One star is the minimum.

We don’t support Nazi’s. Can’t separate the music from the artist here. 0/5.

Ich weiß, dass ich das Album mag, aber ich mag Kanye nicht

used to love this record but FUCK KANYE

I don't get it. Whatever message he's trying to give with this album, I can't identify myself with it. Musically is not that bad, but when I read about the production process I feel sick. 24 hours recording sessions for a guy that believes he's a god. I just can't take this kind of art. And besides, Kanye sucks now a days. In this case I can't separate the art from the artist. Fck this and fck him and all his enablers.

Nope!

Bad man

Dookie

nope - too much swearing.

I have never listened to a Kanye album and I am 100% not going to start now. This is a real bummer because I was really looking forward to listening to something new today. At least there is only one more certified nazi album I have to skip on this list (that I know of). It is kind of strange that both Kanye albums I have gotten have been pretty soon after one of his major meltdowns. I can't wait to see what happens right before I get Yeezus. Lowest 1 imaginable.

Because I can’t give zero stars

Not for me at all. No thanks.

I can separate the man from the art. Or I think I can. I usually find his stuff ‘ok’ but this was tiresome

Absolute garbage

Just couldn’t bring myself to listen

I can't name a best song, so the worst song was Lost in the world.

Good stuff but cant stand the guy

kenya dear i like you as a concept but your music is giving me migranes

Not my taste

Neću uopće trošiti riječi. 1/5, 1/10.

Don’t care for this genre of music.

I can sum up what makes me hate this record in one lyric: "'Cause the same people that tried to black ball me/ Forgot about two things, my black balls" (from "Gorgeous"). I don't care. Congratulations... and people ate this shit up like he was a god-like rapper and lyricist. Look, this isn't my favorite genre, it wasn't fed to me along with my fentanyl-laced fruit loops. I don't know who the guest spots are by, I just listened based on pure sonics and lyrics. It's funny to think a few albums ago in my list people were complaining about the lyrics to a Motorhead album. These are a thousand times worse. The lyricist here comes off like a horrible, juvenile, misogynistic, paranoid, narcissistic, sociopathic person, there's just no way around it. And a lot of the lyrics are obviously references to little petty squabbles. That shit just isn't going to stand the test of time. The backing tracks are varied and interesting, at least. I was actually interested to dive into this partly because I'd always heard Yeezy was such an innovator back in the day. Man. Actual innovators need to take note of "Lookin' at my bitch, I bet she give your ass a bone", "I sent this bitch a picture of my dick", and other golden aphorisms. I guess it took big balls to stretch a 3 minute song ("Runaway") out to 9 minutes, or use a Black Sabbath melody to spruce up a hypnotic throwaway x-rated jam ("Hell of a Life"). "Lost in the World" ended up being the only tolerable, fully-formed track for me. Maybe because Gil Scott Heron was invoked? ... but then the last track just straight-up lifts GSH's message, perhaps trying to bring some gravitas to a record that doesn't have any. This record makes no sense and has no merit outside of the time, place and context in which it was made. Will they be teaching it in 400 years like Chaucer is taught today? I doubt it.

Hate filled man has breakdown .mp3

Can’t give 0 but atrocious album and human

Fck Kanye

Kuntye

how did this garbage even end up on this list

What a laste of time.

Disgusting, Awful, No, No, No. Can I give negative stars?

not for this piece of shit

I won’t give listens to this asshole. It may be phenomenal but fuck Kanye

Horrible person.

Admittedly, I will not listen to this. He's a disgusting human and I will not give one cent to him by playing it.

Here's another artist where I break from the pack. I do not like Kanye on the whole. I think he's an extremely overrated, egotistical, pampered artist that's been told he's a genius so long that he thinks he's a god. And all of that comes across in his work. His rhymes are decent (if self-indulgent) and his delivery has that lazy "I'ma get to it when I get to it" cadence which isn't my favorite. The production is, of course, off the charts good because it's a Kanye record. It's telling that the best moments on this record are the ones where the guest artists bring heat. The production really IS phenominal, though. And, when I stop and listen to THAT instead of trying to evaluate this record on Ye's bars (like I would any other rap artist), I like this album a lot more. I just can't with these lyrics though. So much shit. Giving it three stars because the production is huge.

Not for me. 1/5

Boo

no pienso escuchar una canción de este hombre en mi vida por muy influyente que crean que es

5 stars for carley rae!

BOOOOOOOOOOO shamelessly boycotted this one! Not a completionist and idc!

Not my bag.. I’m out in this guy

Pass

🙅

R&B, Rap, 2010 -> 1

Nope.

Not going to listen to this a-hole. Alrighty I listened to some of this album and I still feel the same…he’s an a-hole. Can I give this zero stars?

Hard pass

Albumi #49, 15.09.2024 Kanye West ei jaksa innostaa.

Crap

Not great

fuck this POS. Zero starts if possible. Nicki's verse on Monster is legendary.

no se

Enjoyed the song Monster, but still have a hard time getting past who this guy is.

Utter shite

Beyond Kanye's questionable actions and my deep deep desire to never give him money, this is his least impactful album.

Waste of my time.

awful

Didn’t like this album. Don’t like Rap Music. 1/5

Not my genre

I wonder if i would have liked this if i didn't have some inkling about kanye.

Got into a car accident with this playing. Never again :)

No.

I will never get the whole Kanye is a Genius thing. It's all boring as heck to me. Ah, well, not everything is made for everyone.

Trash.

I am not finding this terribly compelling, but I'll give it three stars because of the samples of "21st Century Schizoid Man" and the tune that shamelessly rips off Black Sabbath's "Ironman". I'm sorry, I'm just not all that interested in raps and auto tune lyrics about falling in love with porn stars. Actually, with the anti Semitism, I can't give this anything other than one star. "Ye" is an asshole.

Meh

Long, répétitif. Aucun intérêt pour moi. Je ne suis pas allé au bout.

I reuse to listen to something this idiot produced...

I refuse. Don’t care how good it is or isn’t

No me gusto

0☆

Won't even try this one :-(

Pure trash.

God damn I hate Kanye so much. It's rare I detest a musician but here we go. Even putting aside his recent mental deterioration, despite this album being shite I was pleased to hear some samples of stuff I like, including King Crimson and Aphex. Then I decided to read up on the album. Robert Fripp from KC quit the music industry after this was released a he had no say in it. Richard offered to redo the AFX sample as it was so poorly copied but Kanyes team said they own it now, not him, so do one. How do I give negative stars?

Maybe in some big city outskirts of adolescents a heard album ...

i only need to hear what i’ve heard to know this is dogshit

I’m not gonna waste much time on this review. I got half way through and had to give in. The only decent parts are the samples taken from other songs. The rest of it is Kanye ruining a good thing. He’s an embarrassment to gay fish everywhere.

Not my thing. Don't like his voice either. Didn't make it through the whole album.

Not my style of music

Yuck. Not my kind "music".

Tripe

Didn't like any song

I'm not a fan of rap, but this is music with lyrics floating over it. Sonically, it's pretty nice. I can't really pay attention to the lyrics, which I know is the "best" part. My character flaw I guess. The misogynistic nonsense is there, however, so I can't really give it a great rating. Men stuck in adolescence don't do anything for me regardless of the genre.

I found myself dancing to a few songs with nice beats, but overall I really didn't like this one. Very strange and juvenile lyrics. A lot of just annoying music production stuff with sound effects and samples. Kanye isn't for me.

Decided not to listen to any more Kanye West.

This stuff suuuuuuuuuucks

Kun je de muziek los zien van de foute maker? Erg lastig in dit geval. Allerlei euhm, expliciet taalgebruik doet de rest. Ik vind niet dat ik hier verder kennis van hoef te nemen.

I hope he gets the help he needs.

Once again - the man can put a tune together. That does not excuse him from being a massive meff.

Kanye seems like a real fun guy to hang around with. Misogyny, personal grievance, and a complete lack of levity. I dislike this album for the same reason I dislike The Downward Spiral by NIN: it's all just too self-involved. Me, me, me.

Not a fan.

I wish I could give this antisemite trash 0 stars. Not listening to the album.

No Refused to listen. In this case i am not separating art from the artist.

Maybe I could come through it, if "his highness" would stop his shit talking.

Nope Kanye is a nope.

Can't give no stars sadly

bad

Not for me in afraid

I am not a fan of Kanye West. I attempted to listen to this, but I don't consider it worth my time. Not my style, not my cup of tea.

The weirdest and worst thing about the Kanye West situation is that there’s a decade’s worth of people who were later like, “Come to think of it, he did talk about Hitler a lot!” He did a whole letterman taping where he talked about Hitler a bunch, to an uneasy crowd. Then they just edited the interview and released it anyway! Good album, a 1 anyway.

Hiphop, autotune, needless to say more.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but I didn't find anything about it I liked.

Okay... I'll listen to this overhyped buffoon. 1. Dark Fantasy... choir vocals don't do nothing for me... Kanye's flow is weak... the sample is the best part 2. Gorgeous....Cudi isn't even helping this one... I never wanna hear that again 3. Power... the hit... an amazing beat... it's cool despite the lame lyrics... lost points for all the a$$ play.... beatiful death... out the window? Jeeze go for it... more lost points. 4. Intro... cool 5. All the lights... another hit... more lame Kanye vocals... the guests are better... although the variety does not help the cohesiveness of the song 6. Monster... nice beat... could be good until Kanye started... 7. Appalled... nice beat... decent flow... elitist nonsense is not for me... Pusha's verse is the best thing on this album so far 8. Devil something... not really feeling it 9. Runaway... maybe the best overall song so far... a bit long tho 10. Hell of a Life... nice beat... the War Pigs reference... whatever... low minded subject matter... like the rest of this album 11. Blame Game... oh.. look at me... I can sing curse songs... be impressed... decent melody and keys... didn't need the outro 12. Lost... Bon indie boy... what are you doing here? Kinda lame. 13. Who will survive? Me! Thankfully that's over. 1 star for Pusha... forget the rest

Nice album, if only the artist weren't such a moron...

No

In the spirit of having an open mind, i tried. After two songs, i couldn't emotionally, give KW any more of my attention.

Eh, I know the hits already and this guy isn't worth my time.

Kanye West: great rapper, terrible person

I’m not gonna be listening to Kanye West.

I have never liked Kanye, this album did not change that. He is an obnoxious artist with obnoxious lyrics and an obnoxious fan base and this has always been the case. Every song follows the same format: he raps about how great he is and why everyone should bow down kiss his ass/balls. He is the epitome of a crybaby. None of these songs were enjoyable and he parrots the same shitty lyrical style in every song. Each generation that he is still idolized he’s dumbing down each generation. This is one of the only artists that I simply cannot separate the person from their music, mainly because he refuses to shut up about himself and how amazing he is, then is a fucking lunatic sociopath in real life. Could not wait for this selfsuckfest to be over. 1/10

Welp - I have explicit content blocked so … no Kanye

nope. up yours and fk off. not streaming a Nazi. 0 everything

It's not my musical style

This was not for me. There are much better hip hop artists.

really not my type of thing but i tried. most interesting thing i learnt from listening to this album is that bon iver is better known for featuring on other albums than for his own work.

No way is there room for more than one kanye album on this list. Fuck that fish stick motherfucker. 1/5

I refuse to listen to this tool

pedestrian

Garbage. It all sounds the same, and you can hardly understand what he’s saying. There are definitely much better rap artists out there.

Nope

Did not like,

Not a big fan of Kanye or his music

West knows how to make good music and he is good at telling the stories we need to hear in our society. He seems disturbed most of the time and I really don't care for his extensive use of serious profanity and sexual matter. In fact I find it disgusting.

Nein, einfach nein.

-is it fair to say i will not listen to this album because kanye west is a roaring antisemite? -i used to love listening to monster because of the queen and mother nicki minaj -i don’t think i will be listening to the rest of this album methinks!

Shidt

This could be good, but it isn't. similar story to Kendrick Lamar (but not as bad). Some good ideas, the music is well put together, but the lyrics and the vocals are dreadful. not only did his mother lack a bar of soap to wash out his potty mouth, but he sounds amateur with his delivery. great foundations but shocking build

no talent hack

Tried to listen, But made it two songs then i gave up. So shitty record.

Nope

Got through one track and had to turn it off. The guy is nothing more than a fruit loop.

Kanye. West. Why? Is he only famous for generating PR by being an idiot? That doesn’t impress me. Why does he have to collaborate with so many artists, producers, MCs or whatever’s on every track? To mask the fact that he is a talentless idiot if left alone to make ‘music’? If I judge the man just on this album, as I have tried to do, then there is literally nothing there to admire. A solid zero score.

Not 4 me

The only time I will listen to this album due to him being a Nazi. I like this album the best out of what I have heard from him. Although anyone that sample’s King Crimson has a fan. Minus 3 stars for being a nazi.

Honestly found it so exhaustingly unlistenable.

It all makes sense. He’s a narcissist, we know that now. So of course he thinks he can rap. “I’m a rapper”. And people believe him. And for him that means vulgar rhymes over a constant boring simple rhythm. This is awful. The fish sticks joke fiasco makes total sense now

No thanks. I’ve never understood the worship of this guy. The music is not good. At all.

I actually just can’t listen to the prick

The sad reality of what Kanye is now made it impossible for me to enjoy this.

Nope. A lyrical genius but filled with gutter trash. Having a gift and using it to spew vile and foul mouthed trash is such a waste of talent.

Fucking shite. Greatest musical hoodwink of all time.

I strongly dislike Kanye he can go burn in a fire. I don’t like his music or him as a person he has no sanity

Hard to rate in a vacuum. Some lyrics sound hollow after he sidled up to Trump. Background musical arrangements vary from tinny guitars to warm cello. Interesting at times… Bragging about drinking and driving as well as domestic violence. This is decidedly less interesting and same old shit… So Appalled?! Hahahaha!! This album hasn’t aged well…

Anti-semite. Really bad timing. Will never listen to this album.

bleh

Ugh, not listening to this.

Nope

Meh. I don’t care for Kanye West. Never have. Never will.

Nope. Still don’t like Kanye

I enjoyed his debut album when it came out. Maybe my tastes have evolved since then, maybe hip-hop has moved on since then and I expect more, or maybe I'm no longer willing to separate the person from the music. Whatever the reason, I did not enjoy this. Well produced, but you can't polish a turd.

Nope

Ye Sux.

I don't like rap so this one gets one star

-He should stop trying to sing -Autotune overuse -boring samples most of the time, some piano-pieces are ok i guess -lyrics are terrible -why the fuck is (was) he so successfull? This is a really boring, uninspired and hollow piece. Straight fire? Classic? LMFAO

Hard pass. Fuck this guy.

I'm choosing not to support this artist with my listen

I don't listen to the music of pieces of shit.

I’ve heard this album before and it’s good, like real good. But what an absolute trash human being. People still support and stand up for this man when really they should be pushing for him to get professional help. Or go live on an island in isolation, never to be heard from again.

didn't listen, fuck kanye

Don't want to give the guy any sound scans. Not listening to it.

bleh

Can I give zero stars?

Hard pass. No streaming revenue for bigots.

Will no endorse a nazi

This is my first time listening to Kanye in almost any capacity. Maybe I've heard a song of his here and there but had never listened to him. I had heard that this album was really good, but I don't get it since it was fine. However since he's a Nazi piece of shit, that lowers my opinion of everything. I try and separate art and artist but Kanye has done real harm and for that I do not support anything he does.

Might be a good album, but unfortunately from an artist with personal views that can't be justified and therefore don't allow to support his music in any way

meh... dont understand how its there, dirtbag

Not my type of music really so found myself either mentally disconnecting and not listening, or actively skipping songs that I did not care for. Just not my vibe.

Terrible music!

I see Kanye West i skip and then straight to 1 , because there is no 0.

Nope

Fuck Kanye

I hated everything about this album, except for the obvious level of effort that went into producing it. I’m clearly missing the point, but I did not hear one interesting song or musical idea.

Absolute shit

Hell no. 0 stars.

HARD PASS

Oh no thanks

No.

It’s great, but I just can’t anymore.

The genre makes this 1/5. The artist brings it down even further. 0.5/5

No thanks

Always thought he was an over-hyped prick. Now he's a bigoted, over-hyped prick.

Deixei tocar para ver se algo interessava. Nada.

Ugh.

bleah

Naw.

Strophe, Refrain, Strophe, Refrain. Langweilig und uninteressant.

N/A

Že zaradi principa, ker ga ne maram, nisem želela poslušati tega albuma. Ampak eksperimentalno sem se odločila da pač poslušam. Moram reči, da mi nasplošno rep ni preveč všeč. Nekak sprejemljiva mi je bila prva pesem na albumu, ostalo pa meh. Ne bi ponovno poslušala. Edina okej muzika je Dark Fantasy, ajde. Za silo. Ostalo pa wtf (Blame??)

Really not my cup of tea. Very generic sounding 2010's style r&b. I wanna say the autotune parts are the worst, but I think its probably more all the graphical descriptions of sex related stuff.

The opposite of music I get along with.

Kayne remains the most obnoxious thing on the planet. Absolutely insufferable. An occasional good bar or beat does not improve on the content of his words.

I’m not into this music genre.

Utterly dreadful. One of the worst things I've listened to on this list so far. Monster is the one bright spot on an otherwise derivative turd of an album.

There’s the odd interesting idea in here (the fuzz bass on Hell Of A Life, for example), but I found this monotonous after a while. Even with the various guest stars sampled or roped in to perform alongside Mr West. I also found a lot of the rhymes quite awkward, starting with "Look like a fat booty Céline Dion/Sex is on fire, I'm the King of Leon-a Lewis”. Seemed like wordplay for the sake of it, rather than telling me anything new. I lost interest about half way through, and when I picked it up again near the end, nothing seemed to have changed in terms of tone or pace. Dark & twisted, yes; beautiful? No.

awful

never.

Yeah this sucks. Monster is about the only decent song, perhaps since it barely feature Kanye.

Bleh

Gawd awful drivel, incessant drone, and pretentious barely begin to describe this work of a genius.

Sorry, no. I tried but it's just horrible.

Strong reject.

no way - don't even try to listen

Mid 6/10

not my thing. Kanye West is a bit of an idiot. I liked one song.

Horrible horrible horrible

2/10

literal shjit

Kanye West enemigo Taylor S

Queria ter a autoconfianca do Kanye West mas nao o "talento" dele

Enjoyed it

One of my favorites

Brought back some good memories
