* VindicatedByHistory: The album was met with critical acclaim, but the general public was divided on its industrial influences, with some unfavorably comparing it to Music/DeathGrips. However, while still a bit divisive, it's much more fondly looked at in recent years, being widely seen as one of the best hip-hop albums of the decade.

-->"We hadn’t really heard anything like ["On Sight"] in hip hop before. That may have been one of the inspirations for the minimal direction for the whole album. So we put it first, and it was really non-musical, super aggro, really noisy. I loved it, it made me crazy. A lot of people hate it — it divides people."

Yeezus went double-platinum, so it's not an Audience-Alienating Premise example. It is, however, a Broken Base example.
