half of these versus sound like Ye recorded them after putting his children back to sleep at 5am

So not a single curse word!?

Kanye cares soooo much about streams but he won’t admit it. If streams would be counted by seconds and minutes played these songs would be longer 100%.

Just finished first listen.
First impressions, a great piece of art on its own. Gonna need time to marinate. Ye did ruin the storm and Selah, but it’s ok in the context of the album. But yeah some people will hate this some people this might be their favorite ye album

How y'all listening to this more than once, the mixing don't hurt orr????

1st listen of Yeezus and ksg I hated em.

Gotta let that sht marinate fam.

The mixing on Selah and Follow God...

ok first listen i f***s heavy with like half of this

the other half hella mid. and it doesn't seem like a well composed album if it they were good songs

frustratin ass nigga smh

I can't believe someone of you are really saying this is as bad as The Big Day wtf

Hands On sounds like it could have been on a lot of Kanye albums tbh

is it supposed to taste good?

Yeah the perspective is shallow, but that doesn't stop it having a strong direction, purpose and some meaning. Most people's perspectives are shallow, this could be Ye's genuine perspective. It doesn't stop the music being great imo (the mixing not so much and I think they could have been more creative with the production).. Even a lot of the GOAT artists have shallow perspectives.. In hip hop not so much but in the other genres definitely.. And is the perspective really as shallow when it is building on 20 years of ideas?

I'm hoping he can expand on the themes (although he probably won't, and f*** it why should he, he's covered more in his discog themes wise than most mainstream rappers)...

My point was is I'd rather have this content than content that just comes off as strange which is where we would be heading if he hadn't taken this turn

This is the same feeling I got when Idlewild dropped. Just sad, man.

He definitely says “damn religion”

Album is f***ing amazing. Wish Glory was on here but I’m feeling good rn

It's a 6/10 for sure if we're talking thematically. He did really do what he set out to do. But for a rap album, it's alienating and it's selfish so it's got less appeal, the production and features aren't varied from his usuals too too much so it's got less appeal.

It's probably an 8/10 gospel album, but that doesn't do much for his hedonistic fanbase... it forces you to listen to his religious talk and come to terms with where you're at with that. For some that's cool and for others an instant-out.

So it's def a 3/10 from the community for sure. I gave it a 4.

i sadly cannot do a second listen to this album, the mixing on everything we need made me go deaf

why is pusha off beat

if he cared about streams he wouldn't have released it at 12pm lmao

yandhi leaks >>>>> JIK

same people saying it's bad were saying yeezus was trash
