Better than his last couple efforts, but he's been treading water creatively for a while now. Nothing in this release is exciting.

KSG is gonna be better than this for sure, yeah

I'm surprised by the (at first glance) lack of MAGAisms on this album. He talked about the TMZ shit but most of his bad bars on this are just, well, bad bars. Is there even a single mention of Trump on here?

Album is gonna be a grower for this reason TBH. Hearing these songs again cements it, especially seeing the manic contrasted with the depressive in the first half of the album. First two songs aren't as bad as y'all are exaggerating. Menacing bangs, first song is a vibe and nice intro.

Medulla Oblongata is the weakest song by far.

4th song is the transition to finding peace, which is the rest of the album.

Again, album is really sad, it's a sad journey through his struggles, perceptions of him, him lashing out at times and then retreating, and then finding peace with his family (the breakthrough) by the end of it.

Kanye stans primarily value production. If you like deep or intricate lyrics you are a Kendrick fan or someone else.
Everyone knows Kanye isn't Shakespeare; pretending like he's never had a knack for some good lyricism, that people look forward to, is straight up false. Who are you kidding talking about real Kanye stans lmfaooooo.

I think I'm landing on it's not his worst album, but none of the songs really stuck out to me. It doesn't help that the songs themselves were so short.

First listen is very meh..

Beats/Production is absolute GOD TIER FIRE I just wish he got him a writer. Around song 3 it started to become great.

I think this is going to be one that grows on me but will be solidly behind MBDTF and Yeezus

I like the first two actual songs best, aside from the spoken word, "premeditated murder" part (is that actually a separate intro track)?

Not really into the rest. It's not bad, just not my thing.

The whole of it is better than TLOP I think
