Classic Albums. Hosted by Stevie Nix
Not all albums stand the test of time, but plenty do and Australian music critic Stevie Nix will bring one to you each week. He'll cover all eras and most genres and tell you why each record is so revered and, equally, why it deserves to be. And he only uses six songs to do it.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Kanye West’s Yeezus is an album that defies convention, pushing the boundaries of genre, lyricism and sound. Released in 2013, it marked a radical departure from the lush, maximalist production of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and the soul-sampling warmth of 2004’s The College Dropout. Instead, Yeezus embraces harsh, industrial beats, minimalist aesthetics,and abrasive, confrontational themes. It’s polarising, intentionally provocative and raw in a way that no other Kanye West album had been before or has been since.
