your James Joyce thing is perfect. I felt the same way about the FlyLo album. I was impressed. I knew it was good. I just never felt like listening to it. And yeah, I'm getting a similar hang-up w/ TPAB man. I thought it was great on first listen. More impressed on subsequents... but I have so little desire to put it on.
I did read the Pfork review. Honestly, I'm still gonna give the album a spin. I respect you and louder's opinions immensely... but I need to hear it for myself and see what I think. I'll let y'all know.
At any rate - there's no Ye vs Rocky competition or anything in my mind. If 2015 is like 2013 the top 2 spots in my list will end up occupied by those two artists, and the #1 will simply be determined by which one I spent the most hours listening to.
