Love Lockdown
What do you think of the new Kanye single, "Love Lockdown"?
You can find an mp3 link here.
I thought the performance at the VMAs was visually interesting, but the song was kinda boring and disappointing. I kept expecting it to break out into truly mind-zapping territory, like "B.O.B.", or something. I felt similarly about the mp3 at first, but then I found myself listening to it like twenty times in a row whenever I would cue it up. Now I realize it is fairly mind-zapping precisely because it does not try too hard to do so. It remains low-key and restrained despite the obvious urgency and desperation. Dumb analogy, but in that way it reminds me of the Boss's Nebraska.
Anyway, if you haven't heard it, download and give it a listen.
