It has a lot of my favorite Kanye songs but one thing the review definitely gets right is that TLOP feels like his most ambitious album yet his most unbalanced.

Still soaking it in but I've been getting a lot of these songs and passages from Pablo stuck in my head.

I feel like he was maybe partly inspired but what Kendrick was doing on his last two albums and tried to make it more emotive. While it definitely has its moments I feel like it's too unbalanced and doesn't follow a structure. *sigh* well that is the mind of Kanye anyway :/

Incredible album with multiple diverse sounds that call back to his previous works, yet it is somehow still cohesive. There are a number of tracks that are just breathtaking production wise, the only low point of the album is his lyricism on many of the tracks but it's nothing unbearably bad.
>>
Pretty good album I think but too much bullshit interludes and random shit in between (like "I miss the old kanye , talking shit "Low lights')

BEST :

- No more parties in LA
- Ultralight Beam
- Father Stretch My hand pt 1+ 2
- Fade
- Waves


Shit + random garbage :

- Low lights
- I miss the old kanye
- Silver sufer intermission
- Famous


the rest is meh , 6.5/10

I don't know how to give scores, but 9 doesn't seem off. It's a very good album imo.

If Facts, Silver Surfer, and maybe Lowlights weren't on this album it was perfect.
>>
Should be a 10. Kanye "Jesus Christ" West is the only politician alive who makes all of his own beats from scratch and never samples.

It's easy to flip through a bunch of Marvin Gaye records and loop a 10 second sample and then talk over it. Creating a melody from scratch while trying to sound both original and appealing at the same time is a rare talent. Lots of diversity on this album as well.

Is it his best? Maybe not, but it's up there and it still deserves a 10.

>>
>>62568203
Well that's the thing, he's such smart and talented that even when he's not at his best, it's still perfection. If we're gonna rate all of his albums relative to each other, then the other ones would be 11s and above.

How can you listen to Highlights and not be absolutely floored? I Love Kanye is hilarious and it's the perfect statement to address faggots like you who need to weigh his new albums against all of his previous ones instead of just judging that at face value.

The track was a statement and everything he said captured his audience and critics perfectly. It's not meant to be "music," it's just meant to be a statement.

What bothers me with this review is how whoever wrote it acknowledges that Kanye now comes off as a regular asshole, that some of his lyrics are his worst ones to date, that this album doesn't bring anything new to hip-hop and won't influence people, that his antics are getting too vulgar and can't be defended anymore and that TLOP feels rushed / incomplete, but still allows him to get a "best new music" with a 9.

Not that I expected p4k to not be swallowers for Yeezy, but damn that's a lot of negative points that don't seem to be taken into account when giving the rating.

>>62568935
m8, it has long been common knowledge that all major reviewers are paid whether it comes to music, video games, movies, books, or any other artistic medium.

We should be so lucky that those who read the reviews got a legitimate opinion of the album rather than just a number. That number solely exists for the masses who glace through a Wikipedia page before deciding whether or not to add an album to their Spotify playlist.

The words themselves scream 3 or 4 at best. The 9 is just politics as usual.
>>
Good to see that Pitchfork still recognize that Kanye West is the greatest genius in the history of music. They remain the music magazine of choice for every decent liberal.
BAKA at all the racists in this thread, go listen to your metal you fucking permavirgin neckbeards.

>>
>>62567702
the kanye hype is so real atm, if he died tomorrow they would erect a statue of him in major cities to commemorate his greatness. and they would change his album reviews to all 10's across the board.

He's almost as famous when Michael Jackson did thriller, if not beyond. The masses (dumb asses) will eat up anything this guy makes
>>
>>62569066

>>
>>62567746

>>
>>62569087
But Kanye makes white people's music.
>>
>>62569066
That's doesn't make his art any less incredible. Kanye is constantly pushing the barrier while remaining mainstream. He is practically pulling an OK Computer -> Kid A with every new album that he releases, and he still remains relevant and true to himself.

He's absolutely unstoppable, but he deserves it. I hope he runs for president in 2020 because he has proven that he's simply brilliant, and he represents everything that America should strive for - faithfulness to their wife, not whoring out your family/children for money and publicity, speaking your mind regardless of political correctness, and working tirelessly over your passion.

>HEY guys. Lifethany ofPablo here, checking out the NEW Kanye WEST LP.... the Life..... of Pablo.

>Kanye West (DUN) is an American recording artist, record producer, fashion designer and entrepreneur. He is the founder of the record label GOOD Music and creative content company DONDA. West is one of the most acclaimed musicians of the 21st century.[1] He has attracted both praise and criticism for his work and his controversial, outspoken public persona.

>Raised in Chicago, West first became known as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records in the early 2000s, producing hit singles for musical artists such as Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, before pursing a solo career as a rapper. In 2004, he released his debut album The College Dropout, to widespread commercial and critical success, and founded record label and management company GOOD Music. He went on to explore a variety of different musical styles on subsequent albums that included the baroque-inspired Late Registration (2005), the electronic-tinged Graduation (2007), and the starkly polarizing 808s & Heartbreak (2008). In 2010, he released his critically acclaimed fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. He collaborated with Jay-Z on Watch the Throne (2011), and released his sixth album, Yeezus, to further critical praise in 2013.

>He just released The Life of Pablo and it's good. I'm feelin a light 9 out of 10 on this record

1. Ultralight Beam
2. Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1
3. Pt. 2
4. Famous
5. Feedback
6. Highlights
7. Waves
8. FML
9. 30 Hours
10. No more Parties in LA
11. Fade
12. Real Friends
13. Wolves (old version with sia and vic + the frank verse added - minus the kanye verse)
something like this would have been a goat album.

As a huge Kanye fan (MBDTF is my aotdecade, enjoyed all of his releases) I thought this was album was delightfully ambitious in part, and not that far from what we've seen from Ye over the years, but a lot of the tracks were not served due dilligence with the rapping. As a rap album, it's like a 6/10, creative beats and interesting changeups (ie. great production, in the hiphop sense) can only boost it up to 8/10. Yeezy himself, like always, is the worst offender lyrically. Some of the shit he says is funny "ehhh lol, classic yeezy", but most of it just underwhelming attempts at being cheeky with pretty weak flow.


I actually had to wait til last night to listen (my gf asked me to wait for her), but I was reading the threads and getting everybody's opinion for an entire day. Readingg songs like "Famous" and "Feedback" and "FML" were all 'bangers', and then actually throwing them on led to major disappointment. Hearing how bad "Facts" was repeatedly, then realizing Kanye made the beat at least twice as hard as the earlier incarnation - it was actually p good. "No More Parties in LA" 'doesn't belong on the album'? Well, then I guess the album's a 7 because that was FAR AND AWAY the best song on the album. "Ultra Lightbeam" and "30 Hours" were good (but isn't an Arthur Russell sample a little too on-the-nose? It's just hipster pandering, really). Chance was fantastic on Lightbeam, I don't get why some people aren't into him. He's just a smiley, happy, likeable guy with a very strong sense of musicality, even when mumbling and grumbling.


Like I said 8.0. Good, could have been great (may still be if Ye keeps editing). Had a lot of the same ambition of Yeezus and MBDTF, just a little less sensibility than both.

There's a reason people love critics. It reassues their opinion and validates them, as these critics are seen in their eyes as an objective voice, but in reality their opinion is just a valid as any other person who listen to the album. Plus I mean it's /mu/ can't expect much more than that.

>Pablo Picasso and Kanye West share many qualities—impatience with formal schooling, insatiable and complicated sexual appetites, a vampiric fascination with beautiful women as muses—but Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole. Kanye, specifically, toasted them. The Life of Pablo's namesake is a provocation, a mystery, a sly acknowledgement of multitudes: Drug lord Pablo Escobar is a permanent fixture of rap culture, but the mystery of "which one?" set Twitter theorists down fascinating rabbit holes, drawing up convincing stand-ins for Kanye's Blue Period (808s & Heartbreak), his Rose Period (My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy), and his Crystal Period (Yeezus). If Kanye is comparable to Picasso, The Life of Pablo is the moment, after a turbulent life leaving many artistic revolutions and mistreated women in his wake, that the artist finally settles down. In this formulation, Kim Kardashian is Jacqueline Roque, Picasso's final muse and the woman to whom he remained faithful (she even kinda looks like a Kardashian), and the record is the sound of a celebrated megalomaniac settling for his place in history.

lyrically/thematically it's weaker than even the most shit-tier Youtube nigger trap, but musically it's like prog-rock tinged hiphop. Nobody makes a beat like Kanye man, u deaf?

RAM was Daft Punk for fans of Daft Punk that are now parents. The kind that used to do ecstasy in their youth, and now dedicate one day a year to it (send the kids to grandma's for the night).

I've been here way too long. Soon nothing in my life will matter. Nothing but pitchfork scores. They'll drive me to obsession, I've got to have that extreme reaction to numbers and words, it's the only way I can still feel some sort of excitement. On that day, I will kill myself.

Common dude , it's top quality albums no MTV pop shit ... But I agree that Random Access Memories is a bit more for music lovers , you have to listen to with a good headset to appreciate the thing . Can't listen this while doing sport or go to work . At least for me

imo

BEST:

- Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1
- FML
- Real Friends
- Wolves

GOOD:

- Ultralight Beam
- Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 2
- Famous
- Waves
- 30 Hours

OKAY:

- Feedback
- Highlights
- Freestyle 4

rest is just random filler (low lights/i love kanye/silver surfer)

don't dislike anything on it, indifferent to the filler material

>"Father Stretch My Hands" tosses a sample from Southside Chicago icon, activist, and one-time fraud convict Pastor T.L. Barrett into a gurgling trash compactor alongside some pigeon-cooed backing vocals and an entire undigested verse from another Future knockoff, Brooklyn upstart Desiigner. It's the least-finished-sounding piece of music to ever feature on a Kanye album.
