808s & Heartbreak

So I went on myspace and previewed Kanye's new album, as advised by Mr. Tom. I have to admit, after watching his performance of "Love Lockdown", that I expected something different this time around. Yes, it is true that he keeps reinventing himself and he touches different genres with great skill... but I REALLY like 808s & Heartbreak because it transcends hip hop, and reaches dancey beats (which I really dig).
Some tracks I really liked: Amazing, Paranoid, the violins in RoboCop, Street Lights.
I read an article about his video for "Heartless" being, possibly, the future of music videos. If this is what the future looks like, I am intrigued as to what we will be seeing further on.
Check it out:


I am sorry about the brief post... The night might be young but I am officially running late for the opening of The King Is Dead in the Design District.
