This week on "I've Been Meaning To Listen To That", Andrew, Sean & Michael review 808s AND HEARTBREAK by Kanye West with special guest Ariam Tesfaye! Plus, Andrew, Sean, Michael & Ariam discuss how this album personifies the monotonous cycle of grief and trauma caused by the hollow promise of the American dream, the problematic ways Kanye projects his feelings of abandonment onto his ex-fiance, and Lil Wayne's sleep-paralysis inducing verse on "See You In My Nightmare!"
Michael's Pick: Click by Charli XCX
Ariam's Pick: Suicidal Thoughts by The Notorious B.I.G.
Andrew's Pick: Marvin's Room by Drake
Sean's Pick: Don't Speak by No Doubt
