Regardless of what you thought about 808's and Heartbreak as a musical project ,В he nailed that title too, it described both the sound and concept of the album perfectly. Another college-themed title past Graduation would have been like thoseВ wack couple seasons of Saved By The Bell: The College Years when the show was making too much money to stop, but it didn't make any sense for the charactersВ to still be inВ school when everyone in the cast looked like they were 25-years-old.

The College Dropout to Late Registration to Graduation trilogy was perfect, establishing a theme that paralleled his trajectory through music, andВ even better, he let go of that themeВ before it started feeling too forced. Kanye doesn't need any more accolades, but he'sВ inarguably one of the greatest album titlers of all-time. So at least we've got that going for us, which is nice.ДЄnd now, back to the original article. And yet if there's any good news here it's that it's still better than SWISH or WAVES - can you even in your life imagine if the real, actual, final title of this album was SWISH? The Life of Pablo feels misguided, but SWISH would have been a Chernobyl of an albumВ title.

The Life of Pablo isn't the title of a concept album, it's a title that suggestsВ concept that got attached to theВ album after the factВ like a whale barnacle.ДЄgain, I reserve the right to update this again if by some miracle I hear the album and that title makes perfect, brilliant sense, but in the spirit of this article, based only on the title as a title in-and-of-itself, it's Kanye's worst album title yet. But The Life of Pablo? What did you say?В Who's Pablo? Pablo Picasso? Pablo Escobar? Famed Argentinian field hockey player Pablo Lombi? It could have actually been a dope idea for Kanye to make an album that followed the life of a fictional character, Pablo as some sort of everyman traveler seeking adventure and enlightenment,В but we know that's not the case. Obviously the College trilogy followed an easy to follow storyline, 808s was about heartbreak, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was exactly that and Yeezus was meant to shock. Second, out of all of Kanye's album titles so farВ it's the most immediately confusing. See, same name, totally different feeling. Now let's say you're named Pablo and your parents told you that actually they had picked out three other names but when you were born they kind of panicked and started doubting their previous choices and went with Pablo because at the time it seemed like the least-worst option. Let's say you're named Pablo, and your parents told you that they named you Pablo because itВ feltВ strongВ and as soon as they heard it they knew it was the right name for their son. Once Kanye announced the official title for his upcoming album (again) to The Life of Pablo I immediately got requests to updateВ this piece, and who am I to deny the will of the people?В It's going to take some time to truly come to grips with TLOP, most prominently we don't know how well the title reflects and encapsulates the music,В but we can make some immediate snap judgments.ДЇirst, this will likely fade with the passage of time, but right now it's impossibleВ to think of TLOPВ without thinking of all the names that came before it - circumstances matter.
