    Hahaha. You have to embrace the absurdity. I know you don't like rap though so I understand. That's his most recent big hit so it's not the best starting place.

    I kinda think of rap like speaking Japanese. I once heard that if you don't learn to speak Japanese when you're young and your brain is still moldable then it is nearly impossible to learn. Not even sure if that is actually true but I heard it and it stuck with me. I think rap is kind of the same. I didn't learn to appreciate rap at a young age so there is very little chance I can learn now. The way Japanese sounds like an alien language to me where as other Latin based languages have a faint recognizability to them, rap doesn't even really sound like music to my ear.

Projecting Kanye into the words he speaks (I like the qik f**), it's a bit inane and trashy. Not sure what to make of it, but it capture a lot of what people are thinking these days, and it's kind of a shame.

    It's brilliant in the same way a good Pravda facebook meme is. You hate it if the meaning matters, but admire it if you are agnostic to social affect. But then you think 'who wants art that destroys the value of meaning itself?'

    Wait wut.

    So about Dark Side of the Moon...

    Interesting. I learned to like rap. I think if you listened to it all the time for a few weeks, you might be forced to appreciate it at least. Maybe not. It's probably not high on your priority list anyway.

    Point being Kanye is a revolutionary musical figure and haters gonna hate!

    alright knuckleheads.

    I got one for ya.

    Eagles - Hotel California.

    IS NOT a concept album. Just some good songs strung together. Although the B-side has a soul.

    What about Fleetwood Mac Rumours? This one has been torturing me since I raised the question.

    That probably can apply to any album that someone considers a classic correct?

    Kanye West is nothing more than an egomaniacal shock jock.

    I don't know? What gives an album an identity? A forced narrative or boorishly imposed 'concept'? Segues and linkage between tracks? The silence between two tracks, does that matter?

    It's a hell of an album start to finish
    See previous post, but this is their best album. The story is even better. After there last album, Warning (which in fact, does suck) sucked, they spent a bunch of time (years) getting a new album together. Somehow all the music was stolen or some shit (no really, Google it) and they said **** it and threw American Idiot together in like 3 months, and it's a brilliant rock opera.

    It gets a lot of shit for political reasons, but if you even close to the badass lvl of Davii (lol, good luck) and can put any preconceived political feelings aside its brilliant album.
