Always love to see another "Brighter Than Creation's Dark" fan - it's stayed at the top for me the longest, if I remove some nostalgia around the others.
Very much do not agree. He's quite charming and hilarious! Sorry he doesn't click for you but I find him to be brilliant! And the self-satisfaction is just another layer to the ceaseless meta-criticism of his career that is his schtick.
I appreciate the Drake apologia - Lord knows I've made my own in the past - but I'm not sure I'm as over the moon with this one. There's definitely some bangers but why does it have to be this looooooooong. Still, it'll probably even out far more than Donda, which is just boring.
Also, Scorpion sucked but Views is fantastic, dammit.
"The album is also way, way too long, and it often blurs into the background, transforming into spartan and architectural background music" - this is easily the worst aspect of the album imo. I had to start it over 3 or 4 times before I could actually get into it bc I just kept zoning out. Almost nothing here catches the attention. It just feels...thin.
Remember her goth outfit at the grammy's? I'd definitely prefer that aesthetic backed up by Reznor to the half-assed 70's pastiche of this last record (which, to be fair, I did seem to enjoy more than many)
