God dammit it's your fault if your tastes just aren't as strange and incomprehensible as mine.

Umm...0/10...I dont know what to think of this to be honest. I thought it would just be the intro of that style, but no it kept going, I made it through 4 minutes of it, extremely boring, what the hell is this, what was that, that sucked.

I really like Coheed and this is some classic stuff from them. As a live song, not too bad, the crowd singing is a nice touch, 7/10

Kanye West-Last Call

2/10.
I don't know what it is that people here like about Kanye West.
In any other place I would understand, but here?
This is just the same as any other R&B/Hiphop out there, for me.
Not my style, but even if I try very hard I don't see what's the point of Kanye. Sorry

And now for something completely different:

well, if I may elaborate then, the thing with Kanye is that he came out with this style of music when hip hop was all about the gangster and thug image of the late 90s-early 00s and with The College Dropout, he brought more of this vibe to the mainstream. There was R&B and rap at the time, but the way that Kanye did it combined the the soul aspect of R&B and the lyrical prowess of hip hop.

and yeah, you can say that there's a large amount of this style present, but Kanye was one of the first in terms of mainstream hip hop to do this, so that may be where some of the appreciation may come from. that and his use of sampling and abilities as a producer.

oh yeah, and the next poster can skip this post seeing as there's no song posted anyway, hehe.

All I can think is "this is sooo Euro" haha. It was okay though, I guess. Not catchy enough to sustain the repetitiveness, but not bad.
4/10

Aside: I think Sleigh Bell's Treats wins the award for Most Times Appeared in this Thread with three songs from the album posted...

I'm not really a fan of Flobots, I kind of liked Handlebars when it first came out...but this is just not my sound. 3/10

One of my favorite, if not my favorite Christmas song of all time, Merry Christmas MB!

I find this quite offensive actually, a lot of people on this forum love Kanye, including me. I don't think it's fair to judge status as music lovers just because we like an artist you don't. Seems quite elitist to me.

Your on a music site, in case you haven't noticed, Kanye is pretty popular everywhere, not just "here"
