“VULTURES'” artwork, meanwhile, features a painting by Caspar David Friedrich, the Romantic-era German landscape painter who was later championed by the Nazis. The choice of artwork has further fueled speculation about the album’s themes and the direction that West may be taking musically.

As “VULTURES” finally Prepares to drop, fans and critics are eager to decipher its meaning and determine whether the album will live up to the hype that has surrounded it.
