Yeezus

Kanye West's new album is set for a June 18 release.  He performed two songs from it on Saturday Night Live this week after premiering one of them in cities across the globe by projecting videos on sides of buildings.  I was really liking the primal screams and high energy and intensity of them.  I like Kanye West, a lot. I know he gets a lot of hate, which I think is mostly based on his public persona.  The dude makes quality music, though.

This new album has been titled Yeezus.  I get it.  It's controversial and draws attention.  I didn't like when Kid Rock proclaimed himself "the Rock and Roll Jesus", though, so I'm showing consistency here.  I'm already convinced Yeezus is going to be an amazing album from the 2 songs he performed, but I do wish it was titled differently.  If you haven't heard them yet, check them out.  They're already queued up for my next workout playlist.
