June 21, 201313 yr I'm just guessing here, but is it rarer for the midweek #1 album not to be #1 on Sunday, than it is for singles? Probably commoner I would think, lots of fanbase acts get a midweek #1 album which drops down to the lower top 5 or even lower by the end of the week.
June 21, 201313 yr You do realise it has no cover art for the same reason it had no pre-order and no singles/videos? Because he is lazy?
June 21, 201313 yr Because he is lazy? Lol try calling him lazy once you've actually finished listening to the album!
June 21, 201313 yr I think it's fine. It only seems to be fans of female pop stars who care about the picture on the album cover anyway. I don't think that is true. Ask people whether they would prefer to buy a cd with or without album artwork, and I'm pretty sure most people would say with. It's 90% of the attraction of a physical copy.
June 21, 201313 yr What an utterly predictable response! "The physical CD edition of Yeezus was released in a clear jewel box with no album artwork, reflecting the minimalist tone." So pretentious it is then. Similar stuff has been done before - the Hard-Fi "No Cover Art" ridiculousness. Edited June 21, 201313 yr by iain
June 21, 201313 yr You probably wouldn't think it was pretentious if it was an artist you liked but okay then.
June 21, 201313 yr I made my own artwork. :D http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm82/TheMagicPosition86/yeezus_zps2161bd57.png
June 21, 201313 yr http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/c/cb/cbayly/1238476_dvd_or_cd_and_case.jpg Who needs a sticker with the tracklisting on, we've got iTunes/Wiki for such trivialities, he should have left it truly blank for the ultimate minimalist feel.
June 21, 201313 yr There was some "rumoured" artwork that proved slightly too controversial and was dropped! http://www.aceshowbiz.com/images/news/kanye-west-s-alleged-yeezus-cover-art-deemed-blasphemous.jpg Unsure if true or not though!
June 21, 201313 yr I made my own artwork. :D http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm82/TheMagicPosition86/yeezus_zps2161bd57.png This wins. :D

This artwork was actually confirmed IIRC but later got dropped: http://cdn.rap-up.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/yeezus-cover-art.jpg I quite like the lack of cover but I would've liked that to be legitimate artwork as well.
June 21, 201313 yr Kanye definitely comes off as pretentious, I don't see how being a fan makes you not see it, Bre.
June 21, 201313 yr Digitally, i think the lack of a cover works really well (because the actual image of: http://dailytrojan.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/WEBKanye-Yeezus.jpg on iTunes among the other albums really makes it stand out) - but i would have liked the one Bray posted (either of them :P) when i come to own it physically. I rarely get physical albums, so it's odd that one of the rare times i do, it's one that i could have made in my bedroom HA! (and i do get that it's fairly pretentious, but he did say he wanted to remove his "celebrity" name from the project and let it stand alone away from that so it kind of makes sense in that regard - and where's the fun in it all if there's not a bit of Kanye's ego getting involved!?)
June 21, 201313 yr OMGZ WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH CHART PREDICTIONS!!!! MY BRIAN IS GETTING CONFUSED!!!1 (oh and Kanye is king and is better than all of us mere mortals combined (apart from Queen Nicki))
