KANYE WEST 808's And Heartbreaks - Reviewed by Ace Billionaire

This album may be the oddest out of Kanye's fleet of albums, but it is by far the dopest. Its been a lot of talk about the whole Auto-Tune thing, but listeners should be thankful that he is using it cause without it, your ears would probably fall off attempting to listen to the album. Plus Ye been using auto tune since his first album, so this isn't new to him.

1.) Say You Will- This track really set the mood of this LP. Its very dark with beautiful harmony. He actually capture your attention with the groove of this song. The background choir is amazing, and the lyrics are cool, but everything else this track makes up for it. Its personally my favorite track of the album. And this song is great cause its infectious and when you get into the song You forget you were listening for 6 minutes. The arrangement is perfection! This is definitely a stadium anthem, and a perfect intro. He is on he Elton John shit! 5/5

Welcome To Heartbreak- First off, the drums are incredible. This song really gave the listeners insight on what Kanye is going through at this point in his life. The strings at the chorus are nice and well placed. Kid Cudi did his thing, Its a good song, just expected more since the Say You Will was so perfect, Any real Kanye fan would love this, the lyrics and the drums saved this record in my eyes 4.5/5

Heartless- You can't deny a hit! Everyone can relate to this song, that's why its such a banger. The chorus is incredible, and the auto tune was used perfectly. The bridge was very impressive, the distortion could have been better on the line "And we just gone be enemies". But other than that, Kanye did his thing. 5/5

Amazing- This track is "Put On" on steroids! Everyone is the world (Thugs, Businessman, Stripper, anyone) would love this song. Could be a club banger, but I wouldn't play it. But signs that the original Conceited Kanye bleeds through this record, so its good to know he's still there, Jeezy didn't impress me at all, (while he haven't impressed me since the Trap Or Die mixtape). So he kinda took away from the record. And the random animal sounds got to be better. 3.5/5

Love Lockdown- The 808's are beautiful! Really everything about this record is perfect. Especially the pianos! When I first heard this track I was amazed and it still does. Enough Said! 5/5

Paranoid- This sounds like something off Thriller! I like the synths on this, its like Lionel Richie, but with a darker feel. The lyrics are great. When I first saw Mr. Hudson name I thought he got his Granddaddy on the track. But he really impressed me. His songwriting skill has increase drastically and it shows. And he definitely used 909's on this song LOL so mu. Its a great record. Very Euro! This is another stadium anthem. 5/5

Robocop- Every man can relate to this song, lol! The drums are kinda muddy, but the strings makes up for it. The background vocals are nicely placed. It sounds like some superhero music, But its a dope song. Its will definitely grow on you. 4/5

Street Lights-The distortion is a little much in the beginning, but it start to get better when the groove arrives. Its a kinda weird, I really think that its a good song but I hate how it sounds. It sounds too compressed. 3/5

Bad News- The effect he has on his voice is not good, but the instrumentation is incredible. The drums again seems muddy but on purpose to show the listener the pain he is feeling. This is the song you have to look at as art. The keys and strings in this song is right on time and saves the record. Very melodic, I long the arrangement and 808's. It just sounds muddy. 4.5/5

See You In My Knightmare- This has a nice bump to it. Really don't understand wait Wayne talking about but the background effects saved his verse. The synths are hard, and the baseline is thumping. This song sounds like a concert. So I guess Ye achieved his goal. Wayne needs to be the poster child for a NO DRUGS campaign. And Kanye have the best strings EVER!!!!! Its retarded!4/5

Coldest Winter- The song sounds like a race on a movie. Its severely dope! And he showed out on the vocals. The drum are hitting perfectly! The emotion is there and infectious! Great Closer! 5/5

Overall this was a classic albums. It was definitely a piece of art, I don't expect another album like this but I am glad he put his life and emotions out there. This album are full on stadium anthems. Kanye West made a great piece of art and I reward this album a 4.9/5!
