It's why I'll never argue against someone for College Dropout or MBDTF being his best album. Because while yeah to me at least MBDTF is better when I actually think about it, but goddamn if I don't go back to a specific place and time when I hear; We Don't Care, All Falls Down, Spaceship, Never Let me down, Jesus Walks...really those first 9 or 10 tracks that just puts a goddamn smile on my face.

Well what would you say is his worst? LR is still good but it's not as good as College Dropout or Graduation or 808s or MBDTF or Yeezus.

And I have more of a compulsion to keep listening to TLOP so far than I did with LR when that came out.

Personally I like his first 3 albums the most and they haven't been topped by anything post-graduation in my mind, it's all personal/nostalgia related for me though. Whole catalog is insanely good though (even yeezus)

For a brief bit, I liked Yeezus more than MBDTF, but I think that's changed around. I think my favorite is Graduation because it's me, I'm the pop slut, and Graduation is easily the poppiest. But he's really drat consistent.

Same and I'm not much of a pop fan. I can't even articulate why I like it so much because objectively there's no reason why it should be my favorite but it just is

Graduation is a straight up bad album and nowhere near the caliber of anything else Kanye has done. How about that new album, though? Anybody want to rank songs? The whole thing is a mess so it switches really fast between amazing and not very good, just a whole bunch of times. From best to worst:

1. Ultralight Beam
2. Real Friends
3. FML
4. Feedback
5. Fade
6. 30 Hours (minus the second half)
7. Freestyle 4 (minus the first half)
8. No More Parties In LA
9. Famous (minus the first half)
10. Waves
11. Highlights
12. Father Stretch My Hands Part 2
13. Part 1
14. Wolves
15. Facts

Plus those filler things.

Yeezus is one of the most compelling and narratively focused albums I've ever heard. It's a tongue and cheek retelling of real anger/id like The Clash or The Sex Pistols. The way Kanye gets all of these sparse and chilling sounds to coalesce into something beautiful is amazing. It's his best.

How can Yeezus be bad when almost half the tracks (On Sight, I'm in It, Blood on the Leaves, Send It Up) are 10/10 and most of the rest are pretty awesome too??

I don't love Hold My Liquor (minus that one part I forgot about ^^^) and Bound 2, but the rest are close to 10/10 for me.

Fade is seriously an all-time favorite Kanye track for me, along with Ultra Light Beam, Real Friends and 30 Hours.

e: I wish this had more Yeezy vocal moments like "Every time I talk they say I'm too aggressive / I was out here spazzin', all y'all get the message?" on Facts. That poo poo's real good.

What if he fixes it while the album's still a Tidal exclusive and releases TLOP 1.1 for iTunes/all the other services and gives everyone who bought the 1.0 digital version a free download of 1.1?

It's actually the right thing to do if he's still changing it technically. But yeaaaah its obviously a plot to push Tidal subs
