Mr. West dares to non-investigated terrain - the vinyl edition is a must-have for fans!

First of all most of the tracks act of love and heartache, as it suggests, the title. Kanye's previous album GRADUATION this is actually not addressed, it is likely equipped with provocative and admittedly more mature texts. 808s & Heartbreaks draws a much more delicate and sensitive to enrich it.
Another indication of its willingness to experiment and a corroborating point showing that 808s & Heartbreaks represents something else in Kanye's career, is the disproportionate benefit of the vocoder, the Voice Changer. His voice is very mechanical in songs, and so you have to first of all make friends, but it does not negatively falls ultimately on. Many artists from the genre Hip Hop rely recently on the help of the vocoder. Who the singles LOVE LOCKDOWN and HEARTLESS have already fallen, which is able to make friends with the Autotune on 808s & Heartbreaks.
Another change and a corroborating point that proves that 808s & Heartbreaks is a completely different and unexpected album, is Kanye West's way of presenting his songs. Was he more known in the past, rapping his lyrics, he sings it this time on 808s & Heartbreaks. Kanye not as born singer sounds, but this experiment with his abilities can Mr. West from the crowd of rappers stand out. His old image as Rüppel rapper he once placed to surprise the listener obviously.

The vinyl edition is a real eye catcher. The cover of this edition has been processed and is not as monotonous as the CD release. The two records are in a high-quality packaging for folding and as extras you get a complete song lyric sheet and a double-sided poster. The Vinyls are high in the top league, they are in fact a little thicker and heavier than ordinary discs. Presumably there are two 180-gram slices that are available for a full sound. For this, the complete music CD is mounted in the middle of the fold-out cover plate. So that everything is for digital use and can consequently enjoy the music on the MP3 player. Both visually and technically efficient, the vinyl edition is a round thing and a real collector's item for fans. For this, the price-performance ratio is very good for this article, the CD edition costs alone often just as much as the present edition vinyl. Vinyl and Kanye fans will be in their element.

Conclusion: 808s & Heartbreaks is a completely different album from the former Rüppel rapper Kanye West, that convinces to the fullest melodic line. The opener Say You Will convinces in this sense, and remains in the memory stick. Lyrically it's not quite as sophisticated as GRADUATION, but the current work knows how to surprise: The song PARANOID is compared to the other numbers on 808s & Heartbreaks about cheerful and lyrically stands out. The song would have fit in another form on the last album and it shows that the old Kanye is not completely gone. In total package of new Kanye nevertheless convinced but to the fullest line.
