With some excellent bass and guitar work, the album is modern rock perfection. No other rock record has lent itself to multiple listens. No other has made me think about where the genre is going. Hyperbolic? To some, yes. But trust me, once the surf rock sounds of the album\u2019s opening track play, your view of alternative rock will change. Hopefully, the next eight years will bring us another standout release from this modern-day supergroup.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9635\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9635\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-9635\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kanye-West.jpg\" alt=\"Album cover for Kanye West's The Life of Pablo.\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kanye-West.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kanye-West-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kanye-West-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kanye-West-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kanye-West-144x144.jpg 144w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kanye-West-32x32.jpg 32w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kanye-West-50x50.jpg 50w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kanye-West-64x64.jpg 64w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kanye-West-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kanye-West-128x128.jpg 128w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Kanye-West-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9635\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtest of G.O.O.D.

Ye has finally released his constantly updated work. Baffling in its production and even stranger in its lyrical content, the album demands you ask questions. Kanye makes the case that all geniuses are crazy. He doesn&#8217;t only make that case, he exclaims it over Desiigner samples and an ever prevalent gospel sound littered throughout the album. It&#8217;s far from his best or most coherent work, but that&#8217;s what makes it such a great record. He knows he won&#8217;t top his earliest sounds, but he&#8217;s not trying to. He&#8217;s just trying to prove that he can release an album like this. Love him or hate him, there&#8217;s no denying his presence as a giant in the industry. His comparisons to Albert Einstein and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Off the Wall<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-era Michael Jackson don&#8217;t seem that far off.
