For the record I loved all of MBDTF, and thought Yeezus was awful (bar Blood on the Leaves and Bound 2). I can’t quantify my dislike particularly, beyond noting that to me Kanye is great as a great producer. His voice can be pretty annoying, and his lyrics dodgy. Usually his production is enough to make me overlook it. I thought the production on Yeezus was all over the place, so I didn’t have much to distract me from not liking his voice or lyrics, and in fact was bad enough that I rated the sound of the album as something that dragged it down instead of the usual propping it up.

I definitely agree that the lyrics on Yeezus don’t stand on their own, but I absolutely loved the sound of the album. To each his own, I guess.
