I felt an immediate connection with all of Kanye's albums prior to The Life of Pablo that rarely happens when I listen to music albums. The Life of Pablo just felt like another album that dozens of other artists could have made. It has more duds on it than 808s and Heartbreak, possibly more than his first six albums combined. The last time I listened to it, it felt like half-baked gospel mixed with B-side ideas from MBDTF and 808s. It and Arcade Fire's Everything Now are my biggest musical disappointments in recent memory. And I tell you, Kanye's recent behavior has made me very disinclined to reevaluate my opinion on The Life of Pablo or give Ye a shot.
