808s and Heartbreak

Yes, it happened and none of us were there to hear it. I guess we will have to wait until it is released on Nov.2. I need this Cd now. Kanye West premiered 808s and Heartbreak in a warehouse art gallery in Los Angeles. Apparently the premier turned into a live art show, with vibrant lights beaming about and about 40 models posing with various face obscuring masks made of faux lamb's wool. 

The rumors appear to be true as Kanye implements the auto-tune sound throughout the whole CD. There are two guest appearances from Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy and Lil Wayne is said to sound a lot like Axl Rose. Many people are critical of the auto-tone style , but 'Ye defended the style only to say that is has given him the most fun he has had in a long time. 

So hear it is: the tentative track listing for 808s and Heartbreak:
1. Welcome to Heartbreak
2. Heartless 
3. Love Lockdown
4. Robocop
5. Anyway
6. Street Lights
7. Say You Will
8. Bad News
