I think the new album will go a long way to undoing the damage (at least to my ears) done by 808s & Heartbreaks and remind us all that he is both a major talent and a risk-taker. But I do worry a bit about his state of mind - he's still cocky and witty like he was six years ago, but with this film he's essentially imitating the Michael Jackson of Earth Song – all fatuous overblown save-the-children, cruel-cruel-world guff – rather than Thriller or Off The Wall. All seems a long way from the bloke who wrote Spaceship. He's still got it though - anyone who writes an epic fuck-you like Runaway is at least in touch with his sense of humour.Steve Yateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01021976317102987732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829811540302601127.post-79281203432090074882010-10-15T12:47:23.885+01:002010-10-15T12:47:23.885+01:00great article steve, I've become increasingly ...great article steve, I've become increasingly torn between kanye between genius or genital, i think it's the former but he needs stronger people around him to help him self-censor<br />hope all is well, long timeDan Greenpeacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06712460933512739066noreply@blogger.com
