now that the dust has finally settled, what do you guys think?
It's pretty great so far desu
This shit came out of left field. I thought he had finally lost it.. Proved me wrong
It leaked like 35 minutes ago, the album is an hour.
He should retire desu senpai
On Highlights rn
Holy shit this song tho
>>62525201
the joke your head
4/10 I'm being completely serious too
here's a poll nigga
http://strawpoll.me/6813029
At Wolves right now.
It's awesome. Only thing I've not liked so far is I Love Kanye but it's just a meme track anyways.
>>62525153
Ultralight Beam is a fucking killer opener
Its pretty good for a 2016 rap album. Its really underwhelming for a kanye west album
>>62525281
Seriously
>>62525296
Accurate
Better than Yeezus
Worse than MBDTF
>>62525296
True, jesus christ most of these kids are literally <15 on /mu/ now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia3yagw4Whc
>>62525153
It's like a 5/10 so far.
I've only listened to it through once, but I think I'm gonna stay around 5/10 tbqhwy
WTF is up with the mixing and mastering?
it's 320 but it still sounds bad
>>62525458
You think this nigger knows anything about mastering. Can't even put out the album out correctly
it should have/maybe does end at Wolves, everything from there on out sounds like an extra EP he tacked on w/a transition in Silver Surfer
>>62525458
this album was rushed dude what do you expect?
On Highlights
> Only difference is I'm rich
> 53 million dollar debt
>>62525458
This. I swear I'm hearing shit peaking.
>I be puerto rican day floatin
I still cringe every time
The further down the tracklist you go the more you start to see his grasp on the album's concept, theme, and general creative tone slip away.
This album is a masterpiece of mediocrity.
>>62525856
agreed. Toward the end of 30 Hours I really lost track of what i'm listening to.
Garbage like all of Kanye's music
>>62526008
well on the end of the track he said this is the bonus track, so i assume everything after it is bonus
Anyone who says this is more than a 6/10 is delusional desu
It feels more like a 4 or 5/10
I mean even the production is just really uninspired compared to his other projects...
>>62526008
i hit that point around Freestyle 4
Has like only 4 good songs.
Guy needs serious help man. The trauma from his crash and his mother's unintended suicide from her plastic surgery obsession ended up really flipping his brain chemistry sideways.
A lot of fluff in the beginning but I have to give it a few more listens while I mediate in nature. My first impressions are these are what he should have just kept on the album.
Ultra light beams
Father stretch my hands part 1
Waves
FML
Real friends
Wolves
30 hours
No more parties in LA
Facts
Fade
This is either complete garbage or some post-post-modern next stage in music
>>62525281
lol leave pleb
>>62526189
808s, MBDTF, Yeezus all came after that
Notice how the negative people are the most vocal? In this poll its like 75% positive
http://strawpoll.me/6813029/r
>>62526201
>no feedback
Nigga you crazy, that's one of the few good songs on the album
>>62526230
Exactly.
>>62526202
Exactly. I have no clue what I'm listening to right now. Its not hip hop, thats for sure
it's so good omg
do we have a 320 link yet?
>>62526305
hello KTT
>>62526305
liek omg!!11!!1
This album is 10/10
it has great tracks but its another step backward, kanye is basically done. least consistent hes ever been, after Yeezus was already the least consistent he had ever been.
>>62525296
yeah that works for me
Its like he's running completely on his own meme appeal now. Alright album, definitely a poor kanye album though.
Definitely like this more than Yeezus
>>62526202
hint it's the latter. Album is incredible
can we all agree Freestyle 4 was bad
every voice in ultralight beam fucked me up bad
they sound so good
>>62526471
It's like the baby between Yeezus and Graduation, going to have this on repeat for a while for sure
>>62526387
true. this album feels awfully schizophrenic and i'm only halfway through it. it's not bad aesthetically, sounds like art music, but not consistent at all. i feel it would be appropriate if kanye killed himself tonight and left this behind to finalize his descent into insanity
cringed at father i stretch part 2
ye really cant rap that
kanye destroyed wolves
Pretty shit desu senpai
>>62525153
it's bad and hack pop garbage like all of his other ghost written music, and "art" he's ever "made"
I just assume the people here who say they like it are being ironic or /v/edditor 16 year olds
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN
Fade feels like sitting drunk at a nightclub and wanting to be home.
>>62525341
oh stop. yeezus is everything
strawpoll.me/6813129
1) It sounds awful
2) it overcroped
3) Waves sucks
>>62526201
>facts
I cant wait until pitchfork pretends there is some kind of coherent concept or theme to this album when he literally changed the title and cover 4 times (that we know of), with two of those being in the couple weeks before release.
There are good things on this album but in general its a mess (which we all saw coming), however p4k and other dick riders will give him a pass because "muh postmodern music is SUPPOSED to be a mess"
you hear the songs and think, wheres the stuff
The songs are missing content .
anyone else think the colour of the artwork suits this record perfectly? could just be from staring at it for the last 4 hours straight though. goodnight /mu/, pretty good album, even better threads
>>62525396
eh
>muh hands up dont shoot
ok, ok, ok. That's what hiphop has always been.
But when your music is 90% lyrics, I want to hear something interesting.
>>62527053
48*
>that mastering at the beginning of the wolves outro
.10/10
>that mumbling on 30 hours
jesus
I just got to Wolves, that fucking production hnnnnng
One of the greatest works of art to ever be released ever, irregardless of medium. Sonically some of the greatest sounds ever constructed. Album of the year, decade, millennium, creation of the universe. Honestly i just feel appreciative that Kanye would bless me with the privilege of hearing this. 100% serious btw
Low Lights / Highlights are my favorite
I really wish Thug had an actual verse or that the piano / strings would have lasted longer
the start of Highlights literally made me feel amazing, the wave of nighttime dread I was having completely went away
>>62527282
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>62526830
these changes were all planned to build hype, senpai
How could he have added 7 tracks in a day
anyone have a download with the correct track names?
256 320 I dont care
>>62527250
Thinking it's going to be the first time i've changed an album, will replace it with the soundcloud version
>wolves
only good track desu
I wish he didn't have that "livestream" shit show.
I would have crapped my pants hearing that Frank Ocean feature.
>>62527319
Not him, but he's right
>>62527282
i-is it really.. album of the life?
>>62527282
>irregardless
At 30 Hours rn. pretty good.
Lyrics on this really are horrible.
Chance has the best verse and the opening track is the best
can't get into Facts, that song's awful
rest of the album's solid aside from the interludes
He had a perfect fucking album on his hands but he just HAD to:
-ruin wolves
-have a blatantly shit cover
-dumb name with forced meaning
-tracks that outright didn't belong
-mixtape tier interlude
With some editing you can get extremely close to perfecting the album.
I like all of the songs in a vacuum. I don't think they work as an album though. Like it goes from one sound to another.
Just finished my first listen, these are inital thoughts.
It is KINDA all over the place, but I think with time, that'll fade
Waves is gonna be a huge hit
Fade is dope as shit.
Pt. 2 is banger
It's not better then MBDTF. But one think I like about Ye is he always does something different.
8-9/10
WHERE THE FUCK IS FADE SOMEBODY POST FADE IN MP3
Link
It's really good.
>"3 Stacks, can you help me out?"
>SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
>he literally just sings the hook
WILL WE EVER GET THE SIA/MENSA WOLVES RELEASED??
>>62527335
they were already finished in demos dude
just like what happened with all day
>>62527476
not really no
>>62525153
Father stretch my hand pt 1 is so shit.
>>62525153
my copy of the album doesnt have Fade
i listened to the whole thing and both tracks 17 and 18 are Facts
can somebody give me Fade
>>62527345
Pic related will help you name them bruh
wtf whers a link
10/10
potentially usurps MBDTF as Ye's best.
Facts doesn't belong tho.
>>62525153
I just finished my first listen. I think Fade is a weak closer, and the first half of the album seemed a bit all over but overall it sounded great desu. The stream presentation scared me, but finally listening to CDQ shows me how good the production on this joint is.
>i guess a blow job is better than no job

not even joking tho
real friends and nmpila were fantastic and got me hyped a few weeks back
but the album is shit
>still trying to download it
>feeling as if there's fate/destiny level bad luck
Feedback is amazing. Holy hell.
>>62527563
Can you compress the flac files, i barely have any storage left on my phone
>>62525153
one of his best albums
def aoty
best rap album of all time since yeezus
Pretty fucking bad
The first 6 tracks are pretty much just random incoherent bullshit
First half = GOAT
second half = feels too disjointed from the first half.
With the exception of Freestyle 4 the first 9 tracks are perfect.
The next 9 seem like they are a bit all over the place. Waves is kinda shit to me, and some of the other tracks felt more like material that shouldve stayed part of his Good Fridays series. If it was 10-14 tracks it would have been a much tighter and cohesive album. Good album, not great.
I think I would like this album more if I hadn't heard 80% of it beforehand.
>>62527545
How can you say 10/10 and then post a flaw?
Did a 5 year old produce this shit
I like the songs but god damn the audio quality is awful
>>62527655
WAKE UP NIGGA WAKE UP
>>62527637
bad
>>62527425
it really should've been called Swish. I agree the material of a perfect album is here, and it's kind of painful to listen to the mediocre parts
>>62527694
there are more than 10 tracks
>>62527425
agree completely. fucked up wolves
>>62527694
Yea it sucks when the best songs are Real Friends and No More Parties in LA
This is really good
This shit is experimental as fuck but not minimal like Yeezus was
did anyone manage to listen to full song FML?
after the beat change.. Kanye is really surrounded by yes men
>>62527282
are you 16?
>>62527637
>The end of Feedback
Why does Ye think he's funny?
This album is seriously awful
It's a bit hit or miss. But where it hits, it really hits. A bit like Graduation in that regard.
>>62527694
Because I'm under the impression it's a bonus track.
The bass line on Fade is so fucking groovy

thoughts on No More Parties?
as much as i like kendrick this song is really shit, esp after 30 hours. it doesn't flow at all
the lyrics are hit or miss but these beats are fire desu
>>62527775
I wish I knew how to make the noise he makes after he says BIG BOOTY BITCH FOR YOU
YFW NO "FEEL LIKE THAT"
YFW NO "CAN YOU BE"
YFW YOU HOPE HE STILL DOES GOOD FRIDAYS
>MUH COHESION
lmao fuck off nerds, album is fire
>>62527691
Waves, FML, Real Friends are all good senpai
Wolves is where the second half starts getting worse for me
lmao FML @3:56 did anyone else think they were getting rickrolled?
>>62527805
Good enough to be on the album, should've been placed differently though.
>>62527811
not even
>>62527798
Other than LR>CD i'd say you're pretty correct famtbhfam
the production is fantastic
especially "feedback", that beat is DISGUSTING
>>62527588
Fair enough. Like I said, initial listen so really I haven't gathered my thoughts. I like it a lot more than I did when he streamed it though, what do you think?

7/10
>>62527836
sorry was looking at wrong time. at 2:00.
>>62527811
Yeah, the production outshines the fact that it's a hiphop album. Shit goes hard, but the lyrics are lacking badly in some spots.
The album was a journey some parts were ok, but when the album highs came along, boy were those highs fucking amazing, the great parts were beyond great, especially those opening tracks, jesus christ.
Easy 9.0+ from Pitchfork
Easy 6 or below from Fandango
>>62527860
soft nigga rankings imo
Famous will be a huge hit.
>>62527775
I laughed
THUGGER'S VOCALS OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
senpai
>>62525153
It doesn't live up to his last 2 albums.
fantano is going to ether this album
For someone how doesn't give a shit about Kanye, I have to say that this is pretty good. A lot of solid songs.
Probably a 7-8/10
>>62525458
agreed, the mix sounds murky af
>>62527858
but the mastering is bad. this shit needs to be cleaned up
It's a good album, but nothing stands out as something I'd put in my top 10 Kanye songs.
It's not a very cohesive album either. A couple of good ideas that never seem to fall into place. This album is everywhere.
Feeling a 6/10 right now. Could go up or down.
>>62527832
It's fucking garbage
I CANNOT STOP BUMPING FAMOUS
JESUS CHRIST THIS GOES SO HARD
>Freestyle 4
SCARY

>>62527515

Waves high key takes me back to that 2008 Chris Brown feel. I mean it doesn't sound like 2008 CB, but uhhh.... yeah.
Oh, and another thing! That long speech on Low Lights is going to be so annoying on repeated listens. Hell, it got annoying the first time.
I JUST WANNA FEEL LIBERATED I I I
>>62527833
Fml is good. Real friends is good too. Waves, idk everyone was saying it justified the extra days in the studio, but idk it doesn't feel remarkable in any way to me, compared to some other tracks that are incredible on the album. And yeah Wolves idk, it's not as good as id expect. The first half though is fucking masterpiece level shit. And it's just a shame it starts to feel disjointed in the latter end, it's like he abandons the gospel vibe he perfectly captured early on. Should have had less tracks.
>>62527515
Fuck off
On track 6. Some first thoughts:
>Father Stretch My Hands pt. 1 needs to be so much longer. 11/10
>Famous goes hard
>Feedback sounds so much like a Lil Ugly Mane beat
>dat steve austin reference
>>62528043
it sounds like shit that was/is on the radio all of the time
got some gross nostalgia
>>62528044
It's a skit. You can skip them.
Ultra Light Beam best song hands down
POST YFW PART 2 HITS

>>62527860
I'd personally agree with 808's being high up. But i know most people don't really dig it. Shit's pretty perfect though. No way yeezus is better than LR though, and i'd put LR over CD. I'd say graduation is kanyes weakest, while still remaining a good album which says a lot about his discography.
>>62527637
30 Hours features Andre 3000 (he helps in the vocals). Nice little cameo
>>62526600
>i feel it would be appropriate if kanye killed himself tonight and left this behind to finalize his descent into insanity
you should actually kill yourself you braindead fuckhead nigger
>>62527860
Nah. Gonna have to guess:
TLOP (potentially, just first listen now, but I adored it and it's such a great summary/melted pot of his whole career till now) >= Yeezus >= LR > CD = MBDTF = Graduation >> 808s

>>62528154

>>62528146
Graduation and MBDTF are similar to me in that like the first 70% is fantastic and then the tail end just pretty weakly tapers off. Love 'em both, so of course it's hard to rank (and 808s too - it's great, just the album with the least great of all of his)
>>62527985
Ultra Light Beam is fucking amazing, but barely includes Ye, which makes it hard to put in top 10, but fuck is it fucking amazing.
Agree about the lack of cohesion, imo he knocked the gospel vibe outta the park in the first half and then just abandoned it completely for the second half, making it feel really disjointed. Should have had less tracks. 13 was a sweet spot. I'd give it a 7 or 8. The highs are fucking high.

>>62528231
This is kinda it.
It's cool cause Yeezus & this are like two sides of a coin -- Yeezus was unlike the rest of his discography and was compact and hard af, TLOP uses those same raw beats and adds the core elements of all the rest of his albums, and then the particularly soulful vibes as well. Fucking awesome.

>>62527858
yeh, this mang
people nowadays confusing the word "production" for something different.
you have to go to school to learn how to engineer music - the mic-ing technique, balancing levels, mixing/mastering, etc.
but "producing" music is what Kanye does. He makes it hit, thump with that nasty aggresssion, or lul, lilt, and bob on the softer tracks. You can complain about peaking, but Kanye doesn't care too much for that. He will fuck up a beat to make it speak to you, fidelity and production technique come second to the musicality of it all. Always.
>>62528330
ULB or Wolves
>>62528231
TLOP is the logical sequel to Yeezus... it's an abstract, surrealist expansion. Yeezus brought out the darkest in Ye, but hinted at a weird, potential happiness towards the end with Bound 2. This album is that happiness.
Waves wasn't worth the delay.

808s has no bad songs imo, and Yeezus only has two. LR had a huge impact but there are a handful of songs with corny ass lyrics
But overall I agree. As much as Kanye tests everyone's patients, he's made 7 good albums in a row, and that's unprecedented in hip-hop. Even in pop and rock, you can basically only credit that Bowie

Let's clear some things up.
- The ridiculous rating: If you think you can rate this already, you probably care more about your strong opinion than the music itself. On a site like RYM, that's superficial and just sad. Also, to me, you lose your credibility.
- On the show: it was messy as fuck to say the least. People spent money on this? Lol. It looked like a bad houseparty, everyone wanted to be the dj, shuffling around cellphones on the aux cord. I hate it when that happens.
If you didn't see it, forget about it, you didn't miss a thing. Clearly, it was nowhere near the historical life-changing event I kind of naïvely hoped for.
Besides, tidal sucked balls as usual. 240p stream brought me back to the stone age of internet.
- On the music: I have the feeling this is gonna turn out just fine. Real Friends already grew on me. Vic and Sia were cut out of Wolves, couldn't care less. There's a meta track about a lot of Kanyes which could become tiresome. A lot of the tracks didn't make any sense yet but that's a good sign.
Fade sounded really dope with that Mr. Fingers and Hard Drive sample, I hope he includes it. You guys will have to stop whining about No More Parties, I think he was just riding that 'Kendrick train'. And besides, it would be totally out of place here.
- On the videogame: Seeing that trailer twice made me realize mr ye isn't god after all.
Nevertheless, he is a great producer and innovator, losing his mind on the fame. But you know what? I like that, I loove that. I want more of that.
Ultralight Beam is the best thing Kanye has ever done
I think I'm gonna put NMPILA after Wolves and have the others just be bonus tracks
I like them but they don't fit and Wolves isn't a really fitting ending to me I dunno
6/10
>2nd half of famous
>>62526748
Yes.
>>62528258
This is what makes it so good t b h
It perfectly represents Kanye right now, it sounds like he's slowly losing his mind if you hear his discography straight through and when you get to this you realize he's gone off the deep end.
he should have just kept this track list.
To much bullshit filler on the final cut
>>62528371
>Graduation
>trip
get the fuck outta here
Part 2 -> Famous -> Feedback
That is an amazing run of songs.
>>62528445
.....you never heard Yeezus, have you?
Or is it that you haven't listened to TLOP yet?
You can't hear these bangers??
I fucking love it tobebh
>>62528415
What church do you go to I want in
UMB, Parts 1 and 2, Famous, Feedback > The rest of the album
Anyone know where i can get a rip with all the songs
mine is missing fade
>>62528486
same
>>62528331
that was a really weird choice. But I love the DJ vibe of this album, kind of expanding on some of the disjointedness of Yeezus.
>>62528330
Ultralight Beams. Highlights, Wolves, and NMPILA are all on the second tier
>No Sia and Vic Mensa on Wolves
I like Frank Ocean and all, but I liked the other version better
>>62528475
It's awful
I didn't realize how awful /mu/'s taste really was until I saw everyone praising this pile of shit
>>62528491
this tbqh
best tracks: ultra light beams, famous, feedback
>>62528499
Graduation is good tho. Especially Bittersweet Poetry.
>>62528491
nah, waves should have been put in somewhere
Where are the production credits?
WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP IT
>>62528235
Damn bruh, MBDTF and 808's at the bottom? Crazy rankings homie. I'd put those 2 at the top. Then LR>Yeezus=TLOP>CD>Graduation.
>>62528486
yeah baby
>>62528477
confirmed
Where's a mega with the right track names?
CRYYYYYYYYYY IM NOT SORRY
CRYYYYYYYYY WHO NEEDS SORRY WHEN THERES HENNESSEY
anyone got fade link?
>>62528499
that trip was not for this board
i think that loving kanye is mostly a meme by now
>>62528330
digits confirm 30 hours
>>62528424
One of my favorite beats, it had me fucking going crazy during the Season 3 stream
>>62528298
probably the song i liked the least. other than it, the first half would be absolutely perfect.
>>62528263
GET OUT THERE AND TALK TO HER ANON
FOR YE
FOR US ANONS
GO
Yo 30 hours is boring as fuck
damn
I thought three stacks was gonna drop a line on this bitch
ye scared
Why do people pretend like Chance the Rapper is good?
like i'm baffled this weirdo has any career
>>62528541
There will be good edits at least
Better than Yeezus but its lows are really low.
It's peaks are pretty good tho.
>>62528599
andre 3000 though
he only says two words but it gets me erect
what the fuck happened to fade
WAKE UP NIGGA WAKE UP
>>62528531
whatcd
>>62528258
That's exactly what it is
I'M JUST HAVING FUN WITH IT
YOU KNOW THAT A NIGGA WAS LOST
Absolutely loving this guy's voice on Pt. 2
>>62528548
>>62528548
I'd throw wave into the mix.
But shit like I love Kanye, Silver Surfer, 30 hours and facts are fucking trash
What the hell? Did he take Sia off Wolves?
>Songs that should not be on the album
No more parties (no disrepect to Kendrick)
Waves (Album shouldve been out 2 days ago)
Wolves (this new version)
>Shit that should be fixed
PUT THE OLD WOLVES BACK ON THE FUCKING ALBUM
Also remove that shit freestyle.
>>62528606
what the fuck
>>62528606
ay fuck u nigga
>>62528513
It uses all kinds of beats... I've listened to Yeezus about 4 or 5 times and I'm almost done listening to TLOP... Feedback, Freestyle 4, and maybe Famous could work on Yeezus but everything else is nothing like Yeezus-style production. Just because something is a "banger" doesn't mean it's similar to Yeezus.
>>62528330
ULTRA LIGHT BEAM, easily i'd say.
I LOVE KANYE: RUNNER UP
HIghlights, Father and Feedback are fucking up there too
>>62528599
checked my phone when the ringer went off lel
It's so fucking incredible. I love this minimalist production. It's like MBDTF was Kanye at his most grandiose, Yeezus was Kanye at his most raw, and this is the perfect combination of the two. ITS SO GOOD FUCK!
>>62528330
FML
Pt 2
Fade
Waves
Ultra Light Beams
Wolves
>>62528643
And Vic Mensa.
But we got new Frank Ocean. So that's nice.
I really wanted a more abrasive Yeezus. This is a good album, but could have some fat trimmed. The experimentation and epic feel is there. The album as a whole doesn't mesh too well.
7/10 for now
>>62528643
Sadly yeah
ANYBODY NEED FADE HERES THE MP3
http://www88.zippyshare.com/v/EKwsZlUz/file.html
>>62528606
Careful, you're gonna trigger his dickriders who won't admit he's tumblrcore.
Damn, I must be the only one that loves the new Wolves.
I still think only one should have closed the album.
Man, fuck Kanye for this trash ass Wolves verse. Fuck CyHi too.
i'm so disappointed and sad and mad that vic mensa isn't on the album anymore
it's not because of vic, i just loved that part so much
if at least kanye or frank sung it or something
HOLY SHIT ITS SUPPOSED TO BE CRAZY SCHIZOPHRENIC AND SHIT. LOOK AT PABLO PICASSOS PAINTINGS I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT IT SUPPOSED TO BE BUT IT IS AN ATTEMPT AT IMMITATING PABLO.
Album is just as disjointed and nonsensical as the album rollout
But really, is this what we were waiting for? Where is the redeeming quality for Waves? It's just a boring Chris Brown R&B song.
>>62528486
yup.
>>62528709
Chance the Rapper begged Kanye so blame him for that disappointment.
>>62528543
(you)
why does frank ocean always sound like he's recording inside a bathroom stall
>I was literally listening to this track before giving Fade a listen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_0b37BCkYQ
Them samples fire familia
>>62528640
>30 hours trash
nah senpai
>>62528736
He probably is. The guy cries a lot.
>>62528684
true. this album is an easy 8.5 with cleaning up.
>>62528410
Yeah seriously, i always put Graduation at the bottom which is crazy considering even Graduation has some killer tracks. And i'd agree 808's is flawless. TLOP adds to the list of good albums. Kanye is nothing if not consistent.
tbqh, Pablo is based
Is freestyle 4 the one with the eerie strings or is that feedback? Im confused
>>62528736
COME AND MEET ME IN THE BATHROOM STAAAAAAALL
AND SHOW ME WHY YOU DESERVE TO HAVE IT AAAAAAAAAALL
>>62528735
Except that it's terrible and you have shit taste
If only the rest of the album can live up to the feel and intensity of ULB the way MBDTF did with its opener. MBDTF felt like a fairy tale, this feels like a scrapbook of good ideas scattered all over the place. Some dull spots and filler, but Kanye delivered.
7.5/10
>>62528606
DUDE ACID LMAO
>>62528263
play MBDTF loud as fuck since it's actually good
>>62528768
thats feedback
WHOEVER THIS MAN IS ON PT. 2, HIS DEEP VOICE IS MAKING ME FUCKING BUMP LIKE A MAD MAN
>>62528410
just realized I typed "patients" I'm going to fucken bed
Are we happy he added more songs or no?
I feel some of the fat could've been trimmed
>>62528645
>shit freestyle
Get out.
You are literally retarded if you can't figure out why Chance liked Waves so much and wanted it on the album (rightfully so)
>>62528768
freestyle 4 is the one where he goes WHAT IF WE FUCKED RIGHT NOW
An album was released where songs are instantly becoming part of the popular landscape and collective memory. There is no need for judgement yet, on either end of the spectrum, there is only the simple truth that pop music has always been meant to be a rewarding/refreshing experience to its listeners. Kanye understands this better than anyone, so if we feel underserved in any way than we need to go out and make our own music, because he's giving it to us.
Kanye understands this better than just about anybody in music.
>>62528558
Iiiinteresting. It's cool that I can understand most of the rankings, but that I'd have MBDTF & 808s just switched to the other end. Respect, though.
>>62528658
Of course being a 'banger' doesn't mean it's the same, dude. But the way alot of this shit knocks is certainly similar to Yeezus' non-stop booming. Like I said before, Ye also adds his other styles to this too, especially on those pre-released tracks.
This is a great album.
And the Max B inclusion just seems like a fucking Wiz diss. Shit only French Montana could get that before.
>>62528491
Yup. Less tracks would have been better. 18 turned out too bee too much. Too much of a good thing.
>>62528793
Desiigner - Panda
check it out
>>62528799
Considering that all of the new tracks are awful
no
>>62528691
nah i'm with you, big fan
>>62528816
Top kek.
>>62528826
Thanks much fa.m
None of these songs give me the feeling of a "I Wonder", "Devil in a New Dress", "Last Call", "We Major" ect
He's done
>>62528793
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsJLLEwUYZM
He sounds exactly like Future. I'd say just listen to some Future.
>Father stretch my hands PT1+2

I love you guys, but I don't know why I'm on the opposite end all the time.

>taste
k. Enjoy growing up one day
Imagine 30 hours but with Drake's voice. It fits perfectly.
>>62528406
this. based kanye will help you. do it, pablo
>>62528330
Chance had to keep waves on the album that's fuckef
It's a throwaway
The more I listen to Real Friends the more I think it may be one of Kanye's best. It's like a cynical, modern successor to Family Business.
It just dawned me this rework of Facts is just the replacement for All Day.
>>62528849
>Last Call
Imagine Kanye left Real Friends as a surprise and didn't make it a single.
Everyone would be so emotional right now losing it over this track.
Arguably the best on the album behind the opener.
>tfw I know I'm gonna skip NMPILA every time
>>62528874
Both of those songs suck
There's only like 4 tracks on this whole album that aren't garbage
if you don't like this album you're pretty much an atheist edgelord redditor
facts is the perfect example of a song that comes out every day by people nobody know but then kanye does it and people think it's objectively superior
THIS ALBUM IS SO FUCKING FRONTLOADED
>>62528881
imagine drake doing those background vocals instead of that annoying guy
everything after Wolves is just so bad
30 Hours sounds like a complete joke
>>62528913
I'm sorry anon.
>>62528889
Even though it was released weeks ago it's still the best track on the album. I love that vulnerable side of ye.
>>62528913
ok nigga
>>62528907
Same. My God does that song drag on and on and on
>>62528907
Why would you skip one of the only good songs on the album
>>62528916
reddit is obsessed with this album
t. redditor
>>62528818
I guess you have a point. Yeezus' songs all had a similar style of beats, well except for Bound 2. This one is all over the place. I mean look at Real Friends or Ultralight Beam or Highlights. There's definitely some Yeezus here but I'd say it's only a secondary part of the whole rather than a defining one. Sorry for being so hostile earlier, have had a bad day 2bh
>>62528685
if this is fade, what is waves? both my shits are the same
>>62528889
i agree w this
people are underrating it tonight because we've all heard it, but its seriously essential yeezy
Goddamn "Real Friends" just is so... wow...
>>62528917
Shut the fuck up you soundcloud shitter
No more parties at LA is the best song on the album.
>>62528785
I'd agree, i think if it had less tracks it'd feel less scattered. He should have kept that 13 track layout. It'd feel tighter. The highs on the album are fucking high, but the lows just leave you feeling like they're severely lagging behind.
>autotuned wolf howl
that was actually pretty neat
Isolated incredible moments, lacks cohesion. If he didn't add on the ill-fitting good fridays tracks like no more parties, 30 hours and facts, and also took off the skits and low lights, this could have been one of the greats.
>>62528966
dat piano line tho. Reminds me of the aphex twin sample in blame game, and of this for some reason:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mukiMaOSLEs
>>62528889
I'm coming around to this too. You're right about that too. Really shows how different his life is now than how it was then.
>>62528785
You sound like a fair person. Nice description.
Remember when Wolves was supposed to push Drake to do a WTT with Ye because that was going to be their title?
>>62528970
>getting mad
did i disrespect your cult leader?
>>62528865
CUS YOURE A MAD MAN FAMTBHFAM
Real Friends is a masterpiece.
>>62528931
Fade is great. No more parties is good but not suited to the album. other than that i agree
>Best
Ultralight Beam
>Runner-up
Real Friends
>Worst
30 Hours
What do you guys think?
>>62528849
I feel you, but 30 Hours, my man.
+ Glad you pointed out that string of similars, too. "I Wonder", "We Major", and "Devil in a New Dress" (& "So Appalled" too) all have that really cool, epic, slow-burn type feel. I feel like "Last Call" is echoed in the fact that Ye credits all his friends & inspirations, or even brings 'em all on stage like at the MSG event. He's paid his dues, man.
>>62528959
Exactly! This is also like twice as many tracks though, which makes sense -- there's about as many of those Yeezus-type knockers as on that album, and like an anon mentioned earlier Bound 2 kinda signaled towards the older-school vibes on this one. Definitely those tracks you mentioned aren't like Yeezus, you're right.
As far as secondary, I can understand. To me it's more like half and half, but maybe that's just me thinking about how that was the last album so it seems even more apparent? Idk
No worries man, glad you even brought up apologizing. Hope hearing the album'll make your next days better <3
>>62529029
Woooow, definitely forgot about that
>>62529034
No fucking retard. Most people have disliked that song since its release. Only with the remix have people said it's remotely tolerable. No one listens to your music because it sucks shit sorry m8
>>62528917
If kanye re-released the original Love Me Do, fanbois would praise it as a masterpiece.
>>62529082
How the fuck you gonna say that no more parties doesn't fit on the album when there is literally no cohesion at all
Lyrics aside how does this compare production wise to MBDTF?
30 hours is good as fuck, wtf are you guys talking about
>>62529087
>Best
Ultralight Beam
>Runner-up
Freestyle 4
>Worst
Facts or Wolves. I waited so fucking long and he completely ruined it.
>>62529097
Not that guy, but facts is one of the best songs on the album compared to all the other garbage on it
can someone throw me a 320 zippy/mega/whatever with the right track order pls? I want my first listen to be perfect
Man you can really tell 30 hours was supposed to be the last song. I'm not mad NMPILA was added after it, but Facts and Fad shouldn't be on this
>>62529116
Same, 'cept Kanye's not giving fuck about whether they can play this on the radio. It's cool.
>>62529126
Yeah really, damn. Really is the soundtrack to vibing in the car on a looong ass drive.
>>62529149
Seriously, how the fuck do you replace Sia AND Vic Mensa? I mean I love Frank Ocean but even he doesn't make up for how good the original Wolves was
>>62529116
Production on MBDTF shits on this, but TLOP isn't bad at all
>>62529126
When you get 3000 on a track to say two words and half of it is just Kanye ad libbing, people will think it's weak.
>>62529126
Shit's wavy. Felt like it dragged on first listen but shit's smooth dude. Just listened to it for the second time and immensely enjoyed it. A have a drink and chill kinda song.
I really miss Say You Will. I wish they put the work into something else and took out waves for Say You Will. That shit is gospel.
I like Facts
>>62529116
>production wise
Maybe slightly worse?
Really depends
Honestly sounds like some sort of amalgamation of LR/Yeezus/MBDTF
Still fucking great though
Real Friends
;___;
>>62528995
I rate the track Mirthful / 10.
Whole album seems to be shaping up generally as that as well.
I could split hairs about exact numbers but fuck that. It's either worth multiple listens or it's not, you know? And it is.
>>62529166
Complete with the worst verse on the album. baka desu senpai
fade is really good but a fucking TERRIBLE ending track
>>62528415
>hating the best song
>>62529181
What the hell, Say You Will is on 808s?
>>62529181
>Replace a completely new and original song for a shorter reworked version of an older song
>revert Wolves
>revert 30 hours
>remove facts
>remove fade
>fix the mastering
AOTL
>>62529115
nah if he left off the unnecessaries at the end, would've been a cool balance between transcendental sounding stuff and darker, aggressive tracks
Now that I think of it, 30 hours would be a pretty good ending if ye put more effort into the outro story telling thing like Last Call. It would have been a cool throwback.
I WANT TO BUTY THIS ALBUM ON KANYEWEST.COM BUT SOME NIGGER IS FUCKING TALKING REEEEEEEEEEE...
Does anybody have a download mirror
>>62529223
Should have been 30 hours with the Max B phone call chopped into the beginning
>>62529233
Ye reworked it on sound cloud a while back and its fucking wonderful
https://soundcloud.com/kanyewest/say-you-will
>>62529275
It's kanyewest.tidal.com baka
the mixing isn't that good
Which song has Travis Scott?
30 Is bland as fuck. Like I'm falling asleep to it.
Waves lacks the good vocals. If Frank was all over the song it would've been tolerable.
Lowlights is a retarded interlude
Pt2 Why did he even sample Desiigner. We know from All Day he can create his own bangers.
Facts shouldn't even be on there
>>62529115
Everything before Wolves is cohesive. It starts high then winds down after I Love Kanye.
For real, why the fuck is Facts in the album. I thought it was a joke track.
>>62529186
me too, it's a solid banger that would have been totally at home if it was on Yeezus
>>62528975
>should have kept that 13 track layout. It'd feel tighter.
I feel like the way that the album is so disjointed is kind of the point, considering the BS around the launch, and the fact that it's called the Life of Pablo... "Which one?" right? And if you look at the paintings of Picasso, they're disjointed and schizophrenic, like the album is. Who knows. >>62528700
This is an artist that nearly died in a car crash and got big in hip hop by sampling soul music and talking about dropping out of college... a guy whose main characteristic that is different from other rappers is his sensitivity... yet made an album called Yeezus, saying I Am A God.. a guy who interrupted the queen of top 40 at the grammys, called the President racist, and turned an art/music show at Madison Square Garden into an aux cord passing session. What the fuck is Kanye West man? Who knows. The album is a bunch of crazy ideas not really fitting together and kind of being cobbled together, just like Kanye West. I think the cover makes more sense to me now.
>>62529319
I said waves. Meant wolves.
>>62529330
What is a bonus track
>>62529310
Ain't that a phishing site?
>>62525153
Excited for BP
>>62529317
None of them thankfully.
>>62529358
No it's tidal.
>>62529304
Oh you meant that. Yeah it sounds great but not placed here I think. You should check out Roomful of Teeth, their leader is who did that with him.
Wow, Fade you just gone take me that high up and cut off? That felt anticlimactic as fuck.
>>62529333
yo pass the aux senpai i got some new shit
>>62529238
you forgot:
>remove waves
>remove no more parties
>remove silver surfer
2nd half of the album would be much more coherent this way
also, the beat in highlight sounds too much like chris brown's loyal
Tracklist with features for those still confused. times are right, too.
>>62529359
I'll give. Whats BP?
>>62529332
I think people who really liked Yeezus are more inclined to like Facts, it captures that delirious aggressive egomaniac Kanye that he super played into on the last album
>Desiigner
Does New York even have a sound any more?
>>62529424
ah, you nailed it, I did like Yeezus and do like Facts
>>62529433
I thought he was another random Atlanta rapper that was lucky enough to get sampled
>>62529424
I loved Yeezus but I still don't like Facts. And really with Pt 2 it seems like that's what Facts should have been anywhere.
man Wolves is just bland af
don't understand the hype around that track at all
>>62529467
It was changed
>>62529155
You have unbelievably bad taste hahahahahahahah
>>62529333
I'd agree with you except for the fact that i think he fosters a pretty uniform style in the first half and it's thrown out completely in the second half. The first 9 songs feel like one album. The Second half feels like scraps put together to complete it. that's not to say they're bad songs, because they're not. I love most of them. But they don't fit the style he crafts in the first half. If the whole album was nothing but scattered ideas i'd agree, but it's clearly not. There was thought put into it, and then disregarded.
I'd still stay the album is fucking good, but with less tracks it's be up undeniably great.
>>62529395
>Mary J. Blige
>Sia, Vic Mensa
try again
>Those SFII samples in Facts
ALBUM OF THE FUCKING LIFE
>>62528963
The waves version you have is fade, and is mislabeled.
Fade should've been after Highlights.
just for once i was hoping for a kanye album without kid crud's MMMMMMYEAHHHHH moaning
Not feelin it desu
>>62529510
Agreed
>£20
lol fuck off Tidal
>>62529487
2nd half should be
I Love Kanye>FML>Real Friends>Wolves>30 Hours
Remove everything else
>>62529460
fair
>>62529525
I'm at a 7 with it. not really in meh territory but i felt something kind of.
>>62529467
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXifZbq6iBY
Was changed on album version
>>62529558
Yup pretty much. I think i'd even squeeze Fade in there, but i think it'd belong in the first half. Or atleast towards the transition between halves. Perhaps after I love kanye serving as a skit dividing both halves.
WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE WAVES?!?
>>62528963
waves has chris brown on it my nigga
>>62529319
Yeah, 30 is the only track I don't really like due to how long is it.
>>62529655
BLEACH FELL OUT THE ASSHOLE
>>62529655
BECAUSE IT'S WAVY
Jokes on you guys, I actually like Chris Brown
>>62529648
Fade could go before or after Highlights
Also, I'm going go against consensus and say Wolves fits better without Vic and Sia. Their vocals sound too unique and the track works better with a minimalist presentation.
Can you confusing dicks make a full list of what order you want which songs as your ideal yeezy 2016 album?
>>62529698
>Try not to like him because he beat rihanna
>Keeps putting out great tracks that I can't ignore
At this point hes done more good than bad
>>62529729
I think it's better too.
>Cover Saint in lambs wool We surrounded by the fuckin' wolves
If those were the last lines on the album that would have been a much better closer for Kanye.
>>62529778
>beat rihanna
He made that bitch famous.
>>62529827
The rest of that verse is fucking terrible though
Waves is poop.
>>62529879
They're alright
Not great
Not terrible
Alright...
