Any thoughts on Kanye's new musical direction?

Personally from what i've heard so far I like it! I'm happy to seeing him going more "pop"! I know a lot of his fans are probably dissapointed but good for him for trying something new. I've wanted to like his music but couldn't really get into it until now. I will be getting his new album! cool

It's something new... but I tell you one thing it's better that he didn't repeat those sped-up soul samples that he used to do. lol

I have a ton of respect for him and although I still on the fence about some of the songs I've heard, I believe this is something he has to do. Alot of these songs are filled with loss and confusion.

He's releasing "Good Ass Job" in June which is the continuation of the College Dropout series

I think it sucks! Everyone is jumping on the auto-tune wagon, and it is getting tiresome already. It's bad enough that T-Pain and Akon has their whole career based on it, and now Kanye is being lazy as well! Hate it.

Is the whole album through the vocoder? I can’t believe how people are overkilling this thing. I’m not really impressed with what I heard. The vocoder gets tired real quick, the music is pretty weak and it’s not as if he can sing. I don’t quite get it.
Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off

yeah but isn't part of being an artist taking risks and trying new things? why do people want artists to make the same albums over and over again??

I cant get into him because he is such an annoying person, and that does have an effect in the end, if i cant stand you as a person for the most part, i have no patience for anything you do.

I'm really impressed with Love Lockdown but I don't like Heartless. I think it's good he's taking risks and it was cool to see him toning it down in a song for once.

He says he's always used auto tune though...

But EVERYBODY is doing this sound - making it NOT a risk or anything new.
tho' I battled blind
love is a fate resigned
memories mar my mind
love it is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
and laughed at by the Gods
and now the final frame
Love is a losing game
