{"product_id":"kanye-west-yeezus-cd","title":"Kanye West - Yeezus [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew artists would follow a gilded masterpiece with something this abrasive. Kanye West's Yeezus is here on CD, the 2013 album that swapped lush orchestration for distortion, menace and raw nerve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded largely in Paris, Yeezus was pared back at the last minute with Rick Rubin brought in to strip songs to their skeletons. The result runs just ten tracks and around forty minutes, drawing on industrial noise, acid house and Chicago drill rather than the soul samples that once defined West's sound. It divided listeners on release and has only grown in stature since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaft Punk lend their hand to the opening run, and \"On Sight\" arrives like a malfunctioning machine before \"Black Skinhead\" thunders in on tribal drums and heavy breathing. \"New Slaves\" is a furious, minimal broadside on consumerism and race, its final moments opening into an unexpected burst of melody.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Blood On the Leaves\" folds Nina Simone's voice into a pounding horn-driven lament, and closer \"Bound 2\" flips the mood entirely with a warm vintage soul sample, as if the storm has finally passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfrontational, influential and still bracing more than a decade on, Yeezus remains West's most uncompromising statement, and a fascinating listen from start to finish on CD.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57439079465265,"sku":"602537432134","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/1200x1200bb_72605e49-0c6c-489a-bdc3-bd9ba2cc9e30.jpg?v=1794151957","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/kanye-west-yeezus-cd","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
