Even if I went through the effort of separating the art from the artist (something that Kanye has by admission gone against with every post-Dark Fantasy album being all about his self-absorbed persona) this is still the most disposable, forgettable album that he's put out.
Say what you will about TLOP; the novelty of that album wore off for me fast but at least it felt like there was still a method to the madness. This in contrast is him being on autopilot. Most of the instrumentals here aren't anything we haven't heard before. Ghost Town sounds like a pale imitation of a MBDTF track, and while the lyrics on this album don't quite sink to Tentacion levels of shallow, they're nowhere near as provocative as something like Real Friends. Violent Crimes is the only pretty okay track in here.
I dunno, this is just such a mediocre effort. Among the hype that this would be "Fantasy: The Sequel", that the scoopidy-poop track was just Kanye trolling people, that Real Friends was allegedly the inspiration behind the album, what we got is a half-baked mixtape masquerading as an album. I don't know why people let Kanye's personal goon squad get people hyped about his albums. Of course they're going to sing it's praises.
