Oh my loving god, the end of Real Friends into the beginning of Wolves is fantastic.

They used the wrong version of Wolves though. poo poo.

I barely remember the SNL version of Wolves but it was definitely better than this version which just has no impact whatsoever

God drat do I love Fade. I don't even care that there's barely any lyrics, it's just a dope house track that Kanye put on the album for shits and giggles

Right. It's real weird because I was sure Wolves would be the best, most chilling thing on the whole album, but then 30 Hours comes right after this version of Wolves and kinda trashes it.

e: Oh but he straight up says it's a bonus track, so I guess the physical edition will end with Wolves and this will be in the deluxe edition or whatever?

Okay what the gently caress, I'm even reconsidering my position on No More Parties in LA. I think it works more in the context of the album than it did on its own, but Kendrick still lays waste to Ye in this thing.

Also, hold up, I'm gonna have to listen to Fade like ten more times in a row. How did this end up on a Kanye album? This track is too loving good but it doesn't sound like it belongs on here.

e: Did he collab with Daft Punk again or something?

Seriously man. I loving hated the everliving poo poo out of Facts, listened to it like once and didn't listen to it again. But yeah this version loving goes...

Listening more I think my initial confusion and reservations were way about somewhat poor sequencing than anything else. I feel like quite a lot of these tracks should be in a totally different order

This is the sequencing I'm going with:

Ultra Light Beam
Father Stretch My Hands
Famous
Fade
Low Lights
High Lights
Freestyle 4
Feedback
I Love Kanye
Waves
FML
Real Friends
Wolves
Silver Surfer Intermission
No More Parties In LA
30 Hours
Facts

It still feels like a random-rear end mixtape, but a very fun and well-made mixtape

I have actual skeletons in my closet
I like 30 Hours, and No More Parties. I listen to a lot of house so Fade was a given but instead it is an unfocused mess like the rest of the album.

Listening to Famous, you do find yourself wondering if anyone else has ever managed to seem so brilliant at what they do and such a thundering cock and balls of a man at exactly the same time.

Dead. Looking forward to listening to the album, hoping I like it better then Yeezus.

I certainly do. It's way more diverse stylistically, but I think overall that doesn't detract too much from my enjoyment and I'll probably put it right behind MBDTF.

I honestly wish that this project had been cut down to 11 tracks like Kanye originally planned. Listening to it in the original order cuts out so much filler and it feels so cohesive.
I'm most tushy-tumbled that Wolves isn't the outro since that Frank feature is a perfect way to end it all, and I really was sort of hoping that leaked song Feel Like That would be FML or maybe FML would be a newer version, but it wasn't.
