Kanye West Yeezus
One of the most annoying problems that comes with evaluating Kanye West's music is that for many people it's virtually impossible for them to actually talk about the music without associating it with his public persona, regardless if its positive or negative. So considering that 'Yeezus' sounds like West baiting absolutely everyone and a deliberte attempt to play his caricatured image to the furthest extent for maximum reaction. I can't help but feel that Yeezus is *not* him but rather what the world thinks he is, but enough of that crap because thinking about that just constantly gets in the way of the music, and much of it here is pretty da		3.5

U2 No Line on the Horizon
I find this album better than most people find it. Yes, it isn't perfection, the lyrics could have been sharper and 'Get On Your Boots' was an embarrasing flop on a single (it's not *that* bad though and is far better than Stand Up Comedy, which is awful and 'Crazy' which is possibly even worse). But when this album is good it is brilliant. 'Breathe' would've made a great first single, 'Magnificent' is very good, too, the title track is awesome and if you ignore the lyrics 'Unknown Caller' is breathtaking musically. So while it is wildly uneven, the parts where it succeed are some of the finest stuff in the band's history.		3.0
