yeah not liking this album is fine but saying it's trash or irredeemable is just a garbage hot take with no thought put into it at all. there's a lot of substance here, and even if it doesn't tickle your fancy, it's still music with merit and shouldn't just be dismissed entirely
preemptively dismissing people's opinions regardless of what they think seems more garbage to me
I like the honesty around Kanye's mental health issues, but I really could not get into this album. Maybe after a few listens.. maybe not.
I Thought About Killing You is easily my favorite song on the album, followed closely by All Mine and Violent Crimes.
But I like every song on here, which I wasn't expecting. Ye's nonsensical/manic lyrics really sum up the whole album for me.
The cover-art reading, "I really hate being bi-polar, it's awesome" strikes a heavy chord within me, as someone who's dealt with their own mental health issues, as well as dating a SO with bi-polar disorder for half a decade.
Like, while listening to Yikes, all I feel while listening to it is... "Yikes. This man sound wild af," but it really works for Ye, because if anyone would feel like bi-polar disorder and mental health diseases are super-powers, it's him and I kinda fuck with that interpretation of his illness, despite how OC he acts.
I'm reading folks say that the album doesn't address his recent behavior, and listening to it, it clearly does.
He just a wild fucking dude.

yup. it's a brilliant record. one of his best and most significant. it gets better the more i listen to it
but hey, don't dare say the album strikes a chord because of its raw approach to mental health issues if you don't wanna get dogpiled
I think saying it's garbage is totally a fine opinion. I tried giving the songs a second listen and even if it tries to get at some deeper themes, the execution falls flat because the lyrics are terrible.
FTFY, his mental health issues have been out there forever , he's addressed them before, maybe not as clear and direct but in a much more mature, impactful way. All it took was that album cover and some shallow ass, on the nose rhymes about how whacked he is/can be and suddenly it's this grand and moving thing. Some people ITT need to listen to more genres of music thinking Kanye is doing anything new here, as if he's the first "tortured genius" to lay out all his anxieties in his music.
I wish this were as deep and as thought provoking as he's been in the past but it's not, at all.
For example, the auto tune outro on Runaway resonated more with me than anything here. The Autotune is garbled, the words nigh unintelligible, as if he's just so exhausted at the end that he can only use the music itself to communicate the pain inside him. So you get human emotion distilled into just pure rawness: the literal sound of the emotions he's feeling . THAT was beautiful, that was deep, that was moving, because it was earned.

Yeah, someone above was hyping it up but...it's not good, and I love me some Cudi.
spare me your patronizing lectures about music. no one said he's the first artist to address these issues
Who said he was doing anything new? Niggas just like it because I can relate to it personally.
Y'all act too pretentious about entertainment.
The Ye water is shallow as hell compared to the depths he's plunged into before but If just flat out saying " I'm bi polar" works best for you then ok
Current Ye isn't for me, heard the album did nothing to me sadly. I hope the fans enjoyed it.
I don't even like most Cudi stuff but his hook on Ghost Town is amazing. it's definitely peak drunken off-key Cudi but it works really well in contrast to Ye's surprisingly on-key verse and the lyrics about trying to make you love him
Fuck it Ye is album of the year for me so far. Nothing has hit me strongly as this album has so far. Fucking Ghost Town while messy was raw as fuck and gave me such a open vibe that it completely surprised me.
I'm waiting for that Cudi x Kanye album cause goddamn. Also that Nas album too.

highlights is actually my fav from the album
the entire song is the goofiest shit lyrically and he realizes it
I don't think he's just flat out stating it. It's more of the implications of the ludicrous-ness that are the lyrics he uses
He's just talking reckless on the whole record, really. Like taking potshots at his sister-in-law's domestic issues so casually and basically going "id do some big wild shit for some pussy too"
It's just "I make bad decisions: the album"
yup. there have been some good records this year, but nothing with this kind of impact.
Can't wait for part 2.
It honestly feels like it could be like a complete project together but he decided to split them.
you got less than a week to make a new KSG track Kanye make it happen
The thing that surprised me is how he did it with few songs compared to other albums.
yeah absolutely. but i think that makes it even more effective because the whole thing is so easy to get familiar with. it's a lot easier to digest than if it was some four hour triple album epic. it has a lot of replay value. but i feel like i have a pretty firm grip on every song here after only a day, which wouldn't be the case if it was a lot longer. not to say i wouldn't have appreciated another track or two, but it doesn't need it. amazing record.
Same, it's my current AOTY. I want it to be next Friday already.
IF I PULL UP WITH A KARRY WASHINGTON
THAT'S GON' BE AN ENORMOUS SCANDAL
I haven't listened to this yet, but I feel the same way about it as I do about Yeezies: I wanna love it and enjoy it, but hoping/waiting for statements from him that'll lead to Kanye redemption. The Trump endorsement is ruining everything.
God damn, it grows on nearly every listen. Honestly surprised at this, as my initial thoughts last night were that the hype might have gotten to me. Woke up today and have had it on repeat since.
He seems committed to only 7 tracks per album so it probably won't
Reborn will be SOTY. Book it.
also peep them KKW hearts lmao
bless up, also up there as AOTY for me (DAYTONA inches ahead of it, slightly).
the short length makes continuous listens really easy and viable. it's the only music I've listened to all damn day
same here. this really could've been way worse than it was, with the chance that there could've been MAGA bars and other bullshit
I'VE BEEN TRYINNNNNNN TO MAKE YOU LOVE MEEEEEE
biggest grower on the album. initially thought it was total basura, but now i love the track for its minimalism and straightforward nature. and quotables
