Yeah same here, I think I've done a full listen through about 30 times at this stage. Also not getting the love for Power, one of my least favourites on the album.

Kanye just tweeted the album cover and preorder link to https://www.watchthethrone.com. From what I could tell, still no dates attached.

I like Power okay, but it's not nearly as uplifting and empowering as I feel it should be. I think Kanye went way harder in the Good Friday Power Remix. That has one of the best verses he's ever laid down.

Speaking of Good Friday, I am completely infatuated with "See Me Now" feat Beyonce and Charlie Wilson...like, listening to it 15 times a day infatuated. One of the absolute greatest hooks ever.

Go to Kanye's website and scroll down past the videos, above the cover/link to Fantasy. You will see 2 rows of song titles and artist names. Those were the G.O.O.D. Friday releases. He put out one song every week for a while. Monster used to be up there, but isn't anymore. They're all free to download.

webmeister: Jan 31, 2007; The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I hadn't heard the Good Friday remix of Power until today, and I vastly prefer the album version. It's kinda hard to keep an open mind since Power's my favourite track on the album but I feel like the Good Friday version is way more schizophrenic than the final version, which feels a lot tighter and more focused.

Although Kanye's second verse where he drops that line in Arabic is pretty cool.

some kid posted:

1) NO CHURCH IN A WHILE - sick beat with heavy drums� frank ocean sings a hypnotizing melodic hook � jay-z has a great verse� theres a sick bridge with sorta distortiony like effects� sounds like what kanye did with bon iver on monster sort of� there were animal noises in the outro too� probably my favorite song on the album it was loving amazing
2) LIFT OFF - really good synths beyonce has a killer hook and kanye and jay both had pretty good verses on it i dont really remember them though� should be a mainstream success� all the bitches in the room when nuts when it was playing hahah
3) THAT poo poo CRAZY - HIT BOY PRODUCED its a ridiculous beat sorta like a better version of drop the world and more swagged out� samples blades of glory in one part quoting will ferrel at the beginning and goes �there is one song we will skate too� and one song only�� then the song starts� pretty dope verses from what i could tell should be a favorite its an absolute banger
4) OTIS REDDING - probably my other favorite song from the album� poo poo was amazing� soul sample for hook and chopped up the sample for the beat and it just builds up really well and is amazing� kanye has an ill verse and it is top 3 on the album
5) not sure of the name - mentions RZA in it so i think it was produced by him� there is a piano/sample driven beat� the sample is weird at first but it meshes really well � its sorta a weird vocal effect (the sample) and i dont really know what it was but the beat turned out very well� one of the deeper songs on the album and kanye reflects on his wrongs in life and how he wants his kids to grow up ego free and loved by everyone and jay reflects on the drug game
6) LIVING SO ITALIAN - loving amazinggggg� samples POR TI VOLARE!!!! no dj pauly d� its just a really laid back fun song and its super good i really really liked it they just rap over por ti volare basically
7) WHO GON STOP ME - This is where i got confused two songs were played in a row and i didnt know if it was two songs or just a beat change but i think it might jsut be one super long song� the first part is a cool soul sampke and ye and jay bounce off eachother� then the second part (possibly new song?) is a ridiculous club banger sounds like lex luger but refined and sophisticated and it just gets you so hyped and kanye has distortion when he says �who gon stop me� again and again � really great jay verse on this song
8) MURDER TO EXCELLENCE - sorta an african soul sample i would describe it as and it talks about black on black violence and talks about the murders in chi town and the violence in iraq� the beat switches up part way through i remember � don�t remember what the second part sounds like tho
9) SWEET BABY JESUS - drum baseed beat with sorta airy zoned out synths layered over it � frank ocean sings the hook talking about jesus and what not � kanye has amazing verses on this song and has some good lines
10)WHY I LOVE YOU SO - least favorite song for me� mike dean said it needs work hahahha � the beat is sick but the hook is kinda annoying � jay and ye have good verses though its very mediocre to me�

This is the only album since A Long Hot Summer came out that I never skip a track. Even Rihanna's no singing rear end on All of The Lights grew on me. This is my favorite album by him, I just couldn't get into 808. Maybe I should give it another try.

808 is like the black sheep of Kanye's discography, though I personally love it. If you want something that sounds more like MBDTF, check out literally any of his other albums. They all have hints of the MBDTF stylings.

808 is my second favorite album of his, after MBDTF. In fact, my scale of favorite to least favorite with Kanye goes in the reverse order of release.

So was that review that claimed they had a song that sampled the Andrea Bocelli song bogus then

That review was legit (it was a listening party...you don't get more legit than that), but they most likely did some song title changes.

I'm relieved that the Flux Pavillion track is not going to be on there.

The second half of You Can't Stop Me or something was supposed to sample I Can't Stop. I think it would have been amazing, maybe it'll be a bonus track.
