Hi, so this is a review of Yeezus and stuff, it's gonna go song by song and I'll reveal my final score at the end, alright.

1. "On Sight"

I wouldn't say this works as an opening track figuring since it's a new style for Kanye, I wouldn't want to thrust the listener into that new track, but, you have to do it at some point, and this was the time. The sample of this song was probably the best part of it. I give this track a 7/10.

2. "Black Skinhead"

This song is certainly one of my favorites on the album, the intro is nice with the breathing sounds, and the beat is just crisp and hard-hitting. 8/10.

3. "I Am A God"

This song is pretty good, it's one of the more memorable tracks off the album, even though all the tracks were pretty memorable. I give it a 7/10.

4. "New Slaves"

This song is probably the best song on the album, in my opinion. The main synth line of the track is just mad tasty and I love the variations he does with it on this track. The outro of the song with Frank Ocean was also superb, but it could've been much better without auto-tune. Then again, it's a Kanye album, so auto-tune doesn't really affect the score much. 9/10.

5. "Hold My Liquor"

This track is pretty decent. The chorus is solid and Kanye's verses are pretty good, so I give it a 6/10.

6. "I'm in It"

This track is good, and Assassin's verse on this track, oh my lord. Needless to say he rips it to shreds and then Kanye comes in with the chorus, if you want to call it that, and it's just so tasty. 7/10.

7. "Blood on the Leaves"

This song is pretty good, nothing too special about it, although the "Strange Fruit" sample is pretty nice, though it can get annoying sometimes. I give it a 7/10.

8. "Guilt Trip"

I don't know why but the intro to this track seems like it would be perfect for when you're high. Anyway, this track is pretty good, nothing too special about it, but nothing bad about it either. 7/10.

9. "Send It Up"

I feel the same way about this track that I've felt about most of the other tracks on this album, it's a solid track which doesn't really have anything too special about it. 7/10.

10. "Bound 2"

A great song to end the album with, although the ending is a little abrupt. That isn't a bad thing and it doesn't change the quality of the album at all. The sample is great and the song in general is even a little reminiscent to Graduation era Kanye. 8/10.

So, now that the tracks are out of the way, I give this album a 7.3/10. This album had great tracks but it didn't seem like there was much special from "Hold My Liquor" up to "Send it Up". I mean sure, those tracks had their special moments, but they were all mostly just solid songs which weren't necessarily bad, but weren't really exemplary in the album.

I still have to listen to Tomorrow's Harvest by Boards of Canada but I wouldn't be surprised if I made Yeezus my album of the month.

Favorite Tracks: "Black Skinhead", "New Slaves", "Bound 2"

I don't see why Spotify doesn't have it up while they uploaded Yeezus right when it came out.

Where is Aphex Twin though? Really getting mad he hasn't made a full album in years, but that's RDJ for you...
