Not sure that's a rule. Actually I'm fairly certain it's not. There's no mutual exclusivity between "masterfulness" and "evenness." Imagine Abbey Road, for example. It is "uneven" structurally and in terms of quality, as the first half contains a crap song and the second half is just one long-ass song that's awesome. It is masterful, however, by all accounts.
Your logic would dictate that any album that is not entirely consistent (e.g., songs in first half are better than also-good songs in second half) cannot be masterful, and I would take issue with that.

Yeah, I kind of agree. Like I said, fun reading for a Kanye freak, but is it actually goo music writing? Ehhh... I know it's not great journalism.
