Maybe no one attempted it because it's hard to make 5 great albums in a short amount of time. It's a cool gimmick, but not really impressive since some of these songs sound like demos/rough drafts.
Understandable, but I wish he would elaborate. It's crazy to me a person friends with Talib Kweli, John Legend, Common, Pusha T, etc. would have said what he said. Hopefully eventually he elaborates, and possibly clears up what he said/what was going on.
Just listened to it for a second time (first was last night during the party). It's trash. I can't understand how people are crying over this.
Loved it on first listen. 7 songs worth of different Ye vibes, and nicer lyrics than TLoP by far. Lacking a standout single, and I wanted some more, so I hope there's some stuff that grows on me. I can already predict at least two skips.
Still reading through the hot takes in this thread...
I'd take TLoP's best 7 over this album, though. Since that's about how many of the songs I still listen to. Kanye's not immune to having skippable tracks, even if they're good.

Gotta remember Kids See Ghost is a collab not just a Cudi album. So I'm fine with 7 songs since they are releasing so close to each other
Daytona and Ye plays actually pretty well back to back.
Ye and Kids See Ghosts could probably be one full length album if KSG ends up good.
if Ghost Town is any indication of KSG, then my ass is not prepared.
Is it? With that big ass warning at the top of the OP and your opinion on the album in the title? (or maybe someone else's opinion, IDK)
Maybe it's the Cavs game that still has me shook, but I think it's lame to change the OT like that after the fact.
Swap Ye and Pablo and put Fantasy at the top and this is a winner
The "yikes" beat is tough af. "Yikes" and "No Mistakes" are my favorites by far. I really don't understand the "Ghost Town" love here. Some of those vocals are real uneasy on the ears
Yeezus is one of the most acclaimed albums this decade. It isn't a "this forum" thing unless you purposefully ignore reality.
Sounds like they did it in one take. It could be a great song if it's re-recorded.
The hot takes in this thread is amazing especially the OT.
This album hit me so much that I am damn surprised. Wow

the whole "YOU ONLY LIKE IT BECAUSE ITS KANYE" thing ITT is so contrived. seriously, maybe consider that some people like it because they...think it's good?
the talking down to people who like this is seriously wack. feel free to hate the album, but don't put down people who like it smh

The more I sit on it, the more I enjoy the album.
Back half is stronger than the front half, with All Mine and Ghost Town being the standouts. I liked it, even though it felt like a watered down 808s.
My rankings are:
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Late Registration
808s & Heartbreak
The College Dropout
Ye
Yeezus
Graduation
The Life of Pablo

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is my favorite Kanye album. Just because it felt like the perfect balance. It was raw, yet polished, and it had a great rollout.
It felt like the perfect hip-hop concept album. Artistically, from the album covers, videos, production, it just feels better than everything else. Yeezus is dope too, though.

This is a reasonable perspectives too, it could just be him expressing self-righteousness.
I think I've barely scratched the surface of the story so ima definitely have to revisit all this. Although, generally, I would not expect Ye to swing the humility-narcissism pendulum completely in the humility section either.
Ugh...
Is this the Kanye you wanted? You 808s and MBDTF people?
The College Dropout
Late Registration
Graduation
Dead to me. I can't do this garbage.
I'm liking the album a lot more listening to the official version on Apple Music. Every song was good-great besides Ghost Town, it was not bad but there's something very off about the singing and mixing, maybe Kanye can give it the 'Wolves' treatment.
I'm... not sure I follow your post outside of frustration directed at me.

I don't know about ye yet. It's not in danger of being at the top.
I almost like no more parties enough to put tlop above graduation on its strength alone

Weird. It's like he made an entire album out of the Ultralight Beam sessions.
It's decent. I could see some songs growing on me.
TCD and Yeezus still the reigning Kings of the West discography.

Took two listens for it to click. During the live stream, didn't really feel the the first 3 tracks, but it got better, and the last two tracks amazed me. I love the whole album. Ghost Town, and Violent Crimes still the best tracks on this. Some of his best work.
Huh? I love those albums and hate this. Actually, the more I listen to it, the more I hate it lol
Fair point. My frustration was pointed at the shittiness of the album which I was going to speak on. But then I saw your shitty list and that derailed my post. So yes and no. I'm confused.
You're part of the problem.
