I don't even have words for this I just feel the urge to quote this
The entire tone of this post is really weird. I think people are trashing it because the songs aren't vibing with them/Kanye is a MAGA asshole. Nobody's trying to quiet people struggling with mental health.
Or maybe I missed a few posts.
It finally clicked that Yikes = Wolves chorus X Heartless verse. Probably why I like it so much.
Buddy, relax. I'm glad you're enjoying the album, but some people don't care for it. I really doubt anyone is mad at you for enjoying an album
Good shit but I don't know it just doesn't hit as hard as Ye.
It doesn't help the production doesn't hit as hard. Good lyrics tho.
okay but on that line of best fit review someone linked earlier
can someone tell me why the fuck anyone thinks its acceptable to write things like "This man, clearly ill, is being indulged to the point of doing irreparable damage to his public image and has almost certainly done permanent damage to his mind."
like holy shit, fuck you.
how dare someone open up about their struggles with mental illness. let's publicly shame and attack them in the guise of a music review

I wondered if he basically used the hook for Wolves on purpose or not
I really think this is a garbage title for an OT where people are supposed to come and express their own opinions about something.
uh there have been quite a few people doing just that. Passive aggressively but still.
and what else should one take from all of the "I FOR ONE am totally not going to listen to this album..nosiree" posts?
One guy was saying that listening to this album was like being okay with Bill Cosby raping folks.
it's not even an OT
apparently it's acceptable to make a thread that nominally is about discussing an album and basically tell people in the first post to not even discuss or listen to the album, just to use the thread as another excuse to bash the artist. cus we really needed another bash kanye thread.
Ye is a masterpiece. Nothing but real life.
Anybody that has Graduation at the bottom of their list of Kanye albums are not to be taken seriously. Lmao

yeah you must have missed the posts calling him "crazy" for talking about his experience or saying there was nothing significant or interesting about his approach to talking about mental health on the record
not even passive aggressively. like literally people quoting and responding me telling me to stop talking about the album in the thread about the album lol
Wouldn't leave is pretty much booty to me. 6/7 still pretty great album. Doesn't break into the holy Trinity of Yeezus MBDTF and 808s though.
I fully acknowledge that this is your opinion and you're fully entitled to it. But I cannot believe in any way, whatsoever, that someone thinks Ye is a better album than My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
I don't know what album you're listening to because nothing about this "hits hard."
Agreed. If this is your opinion your opinions are invalid as far as I'm concerned.
It's hard putting it into words. The sound feels amateurish or maybe too minimalistic is what I mean. I don't see the effort put into this as what seemingly went into Daytona. This literally feels like he made this last week
Aside from the musical sound, the lyrics and his sound just is off. It's like going back and listing to yeezus and TLoP he sounds like he knows what he's doing. On Ye it sounds at times like this is his first time rapping and it doesn't even come together well. This is making me appreciate yeezus and TLoP even more and I don't even like those that much but at least I can listen to them more than once. I don't have any desire to listen to any of these songs again
I mean I get it, artists can change up their style and what they are doing. But you can't even put this in the same league as any of his other stuff, even the Garbo albums. I don't even know if he's trying anymore

So i skimmed through this and i just dont get it. Monotone spoken word with boring beats. What is there to like? Give me old Kanye any day over the new rubbish hes putting out.
I fully acknowledge that MBDTF is a better album, but Ye gave me something really emotional that hit me on a level I didn't even know I could be hit. It's special to me and it might even end up on top someday because it just... just does it for me. I can't really put it into words. I don't mean to shit up the thread or anything by posting absurd rankings.
That's what I was trying to say I my post above. It's nothing there. The beats aren't even really good. It's simple and he's talking as if he forgot how to rap and flow
The track names MUST be wrong on my iTunes download. The track titled "Ghost Town" that I'm hearing is one of the worst things I've ever heard that someone has charged money for. Yet the majority here act like it's one of the best tracks of the year, if not better. I understand folks have their own opinions or whatever, but there is literally a dude singing off key for a good chunk of this track. 1:14 and 2:22 especially make me cringe every time I hear them. Cudi sounds like a hearing impaired individual there. How this made the album blows my mind... And how people are enjoying it so much makes me question reality
Lol screw yall haters Ghost Town is fucking magical. I love how raw and messy it is. Say my opinion is invalid but the shit still good.
Violent crimes is also really amazing as well.
Brah and I'm getting a Cudi x Kanye collaboration next week. Damn I'm living the life.

No parts where Kanye is in it is great. Some parts are okay and flow well enough, but the rest he's so monotone it's practically spoken word, which is not okay when the lyrics are garbage.
I like the album, but I don't think I'd even give it the time of day if it wasn't a Kanye album, which is ironic cuz he's the worst part of it.
The production IS amazing tho, ghost town is beautiful
Edit: I got heavy "Wolves" vibes from Yikes in the beginning
Edit 2: Funny how people either LOVE Ghost Town, or absolutely LOATHE it. And somehow I totally understand that. It like barely works, but it stumples across that line of broken trash and falls right into something special for me. I sound stupid writing that, but thats how it is for me.

This is easily his worst album. Sounds like a bunch of songs that didn't make the cut for his last couple albums.
Wouldn't Leave and No Mistakes are alright songs.

Worst Kanye West album imo is TLOP and even then it still isn't a bad album at all.
Imo there isn't a bad Kanye album.

TLOP was a fall from grace, this album and Kanye in general this year is the nail in the coffin
nah it's a beautiful song. made me cry too
yup. everyone I've spoken to outside the forum, even people that aren't Kanye fans, are really enjoying it
This album is beautiful
2/2 GOOD Fridays
Can't wait to hear the rest.
I'll be replaying Push and Kanye all week til the next one.

Well it's definitely interesting. The way that "I Thought About Killing You" creates a sense of unease that frames the rest of the album is pretty cool. The way that Ye straddles the line between crying out for help and complete acceptance has way more emotional depth to it than anything from TLOP. Kanye does a fantastic job of sucking you into his mind with both the music and the lyrics, and holy shit it's an uncomfortable mess in there. I guess what I'm trying to say is Fuck you Kanye and your MAGA hat wearing ass.
bro what you gotta be fucking trolling with this bullshit
you gotta be so childish and full of yourself if you cannot separate ones personal life and views from their art
with that being said, I really fuck with this album, ye the goat, can't wait for ksg
The more I listen, the more I love this album. Then again I have loved Kanye's post-MBDTF more then his pre-MBDTF.
