My Favorite

I don't think I've ever explained why I choose the titles that I do on these posts I submit so this shall be the first (for the ones that don't know why or have trouble figuring it out if it isn't obvious. Oh yeah & if you care).

About five days ago, I shared that I had listened to Kanye West's new album. & after watching the full-length film of Runaway this morning, I noticed how that particular post came off as I didn't give a damn about the album. So. I'd like to address that here now. Reminder: don't be fooled when you feel like you matter, I do this for myself.

Accepting & embracing the fact that Kanye is exceedingly creative & to me, a genius.. I did NOT have a high anticipation for this project. Don't take it the wrong way. I KNEW it would be prodigious. Knowing what Kanye HAS been capable of, it would be a limit to doubt or expect a certain worth particularly because of his craft, his ability. That being said, I was dumbfounded to listen once (without rewinding or having a repeat listen of any track) & FEEL as if too much was going on. You've heard "too much of a good thing can't be good for you." My point is similar to that. Not to mention the songs are over five minutes, so with all the different instruments, melodies & beats I remember thinking, 'oh, what song is this?' I'd check & see that it was the same damn song. I thought, 'What the. Could have sworn it began different.'

I must be in a certain mood to listen to a few artists such as, DOOM (MF Doom/Viktor Vaughn/whatever), Café Tacuba & even Joe Budden. With MBDTF, I don't know how I'd have to feel to listen. It's everywhere. Best word to describe this album is overpowering.

So Appalled would have to be the title for this post.
