OK, honestly this blog post might not be anything at all …
you know … earth shattering however I’ve been meticulously following your weblog for awhile now and never ever commented and I read another submission on your website somewhere .
..
dang, cannot seem to locate it now but as I was reading the articles right after that one seriously connective one I thought to myself, “Self, you have to comment on this dudes website. But not this web site submission the future one.” And here I’m. Hope to obtain much more shares from you in the future! how to make money online

Man, i think the first 8 tracks of this album are all good to great. Gonna make great enjoying-being-lonely-and-drunk-on-a-night-plane-ride music for sure!

and Buckcherry are working with the same sound and formula as the Rolling Stones, but brother, it don’t make them the Stones.

This album’s a boner kill, but it’s basically working with the sound and formula and not-there-ness that’s sent so many “indie” bands to the top of critics’ lists…if say, The Knife or the last Radiohead were interesting to a listener, they SHOULD like this.

@Dan Gibson: i think it's one of the worst records released by a major artist in a very long time. it's Dylanesque - in a bad way.

@Lucas Jensen: I was tromping back into this thread to basically make the same comment, minus the Beck reference.

I think what interests me most here is that this mode of production jumped from semi-underground to very mainstream pretty quickly -- it's certainly something I never expected to hear from someone as utterly mainstream as Kanye, and that, at least, pleases me greatly.

If you haven’t heard the remix of “Amazin’” Novel and whoever produces for Novel cranked out the day after that leaked, well, you’re missing that there will still be great beats on this album.

I’m actually feeling a lot of these songs, so maybe I’m crazy. I like that he took a chance. Listen, Beck gets to put out deviations here and there, and everybody lauds him for it, even if they don’t necessarily feel them. I think Kanye deserves the same latitude.

@Maciej: Yeah, he totally has done cool stuff by himself. I'm just thinking that he needs another head in the studio with him to help him get back to the bangers, and Jon Brion would be an obvious choice. The line about "gussied up demos he made with his new toys" is totally right on.
