![]() ![]() Bands like Pink Floyd and Radiohead alone have produced countless songs that you might pick over “Pyramids.” But I will make my case nonetheless.įeaturing all sorts of imagery, parallels, plot twists, various literary and historical references, and some of the best production I’ve ever heard, “Pyramids” is split into two parts. Obviously these types of discussions are highly subjective and futile in many ways, and I don’t expect many people to agree with me. What better song to start with than the greatest one I’ve ever heard? Frank Ocean’s sprawling 10-minute track “Pyramids” (on his iconic R&B album, Channel Orange) comes to mind. So you’ll start to see some reviews of mixtapes, EPs, and even songs that seem worthy of consideration. ![]() ![]() I am very excited to announce that I will be reviewing ALL types of music from now on. ![]()

![]() ![]() In May of 2019, Ryan Florence, co-creator of React Router and Reach Router, announced the impending release of a new version of React Router that takes advantage of React’s Hooks API. React Router v6: The future of Reach Router and React RouterĮditor’s note: This post was last updated on 30 December 2021 to include information about React Router v6. ![]() Just keep in mind the purpose useLocation() is getting information from the current route, and it will return these attributes.Yusuff Faruq Follow Frontend web developer and anime lover from Nigeria. push from history in the example localhost:3000/blogs?id=5#react.įrom that URL, if we are trying to call useLocation, we will get this object. I will use the previous link that we tried to use. UseLocation doesn't have any function like useHistory, and it is just to grab information about your current URL. If the URL is changed, the useLocation will be updated as well. I also prepare codesandbox to help you understand.īriefly, this is like a state that always returns your current URL. I have never used the three go function, but I just want to let you know that this function has existed in history go(delta: number): move to a different index and can specify how many indexes from this position (can be minus or positive) goForward(): move forward to the previous history. goBack(): move back to the previous history. replace, it will not go back to the previous one.

For example, if you want to know where the user came from, you can utilize the state. However, after I read the documentation, the documentation gave me an idea.

While yeah the auto-tune vocals can get annoying the beats are solid, the melodies often are too and the lyrics range from okay to great. But where Kanye doesn't quite make good with tracks such as "Street Lights" and "Amazing" there are at least interesting ideas in each and throughout the whole album. It's a pity the whole album can't be so solid. The vocals are more natural here and the mechanical sound effects provide a good hook in the chorus. Hmm? Well yeah I'm not sure why, it's probably the upbeat string section coupled with the fast pacing. Following that is "RoboCop" which again conjures up thoughts of another band (and lazy blogging) this time Arcade Fire. The auto-tuned faced paced vocals really suit the music here as well and it shows what this version of Kanye is capable of. "Paranoid" is one of the best things here and it really reminds me of earlier Cut Copy stuff, the 80s synths and the quick beat are great. It's all pretty obvious but it's a fun break up tune. The melodies are stronger and the lyrics focused more on Kanye's ex. ![]() "Heartless" is more upbeat and rides again on the auto-tune train with some smooth bass and snazzy piano chords. It sucks that he can't keep the lyrical standard this high throughout the whole album but it's nice to see a more vulnerable side shining through in his work at least occasionally and to be fair this is quite an emotionally honest album. "My friend showed me pictures of his kids/and all I could show him was pictures of my cribs" mourns Kanye coupled with a dark and reverb drenched atmosphere. "Welcome to Heartbreak" is a lot better with some of the album's best and most heartfelt lyrics as Kanye ponders the nature of his success compared to those around him. It at least succeeds at setting up what the rest of the album is going to sound and feel like. It might have worked if it were cut shorter but the minimal glitchy beat with soft tribal drumming can't really sustain some weak melodies from Kanye's computer enhanced vocals. Things start off slightly awkward though, with the 6 minute long "Say You Will". Maybe at least to satisfy their curiosity. ![]() Sure there are missteps and I could see why people wouldn't dig it, but as a pop album it's something I think people with a passing interest should look into. ![]() The good thing is that 808s and Heartbreak is actually decent, it surpassed my (low low low) expectations and it's at times sad, fun, different and for the most part, enjoyable. Initial single "Love Lockdown" was good, something different and something I could get on board with but a whole Kanye album full of auto-tuned vocals is a different story. Review Summary: Kanye's latest effort proves to be his most daring and experimental to date. ![]() |
