Very well said. Just an emotionally empty album. What drew me to him early on was his openness and vulnerability. He had so much soul, and even though I never found him all that impressive lyrically from a technical standpoint, I always enjoyed listening to him because he was so endearing. MBDTF feels like the super insecure red-headed step brother of those early albums. Still has some really high highs, great technical moments musically but .... yea. Empty. I get nothing from this album emotionally.

Yep. Nailed it. And Yeezus, IMO, took it even a step further. Production was super boring, lyrics were just as obnoxious and overdone.
