MUSIC

摘要

Has there ever been another great album this bitter, this entitled, this abrasively unsatisfied-or this self-aware about it? Yeezus is brief, spare, nasty and as charismatic as a cult leader. Its music grinds sourly or lurches like an old roller coaster; West's voice drips contempt or hides behind frigid Auto-Tune effects. But Yeezus, has he ever got raw power. Vampire Weekend does with music what clever writers do with words. You can spend days unpacking its third album's allusions and juxtapositions, or you can just ride the ripples of its wry, absurdly catchy meditations on the shift from overcomfortable youth to uncertain maturity.
