abraham linksys posted:so now that I've had some time to digest I think I like TLOP a lot as an album but the individual songs don't do that much for me Exactly how i've been feeling. There aren't many tracks I want to just pick out and listen to on their own, but the album as a whole goes down well.

The album goes by real fast for its length i think. I like it way more than yeezus. I skip the silver surfer, wolves, and low lights usually that's about it though. The old kanye new kanye skit is brief enough but ill skip it if im close to the button.

I really like the TLOP, but its a bit frantic and all over the place for me to say it's one of my favorites. Some tracks sound like the advertised gospel, some sound like B sides to Yeezus, some sound Like watch the throne, some sound like cruel summer. It honesty sounds to me like the creation of a mentally ill person off his meds, which makes a bit of sense given Kanye's recent twitter activity. The highlight of the album is honestly Chance's verse on Ultralight beam, followed by Famous, Father Stretch My Hands Pt.2, and Feedback. The biggest problem is honestly there are tracks that are just hot loving garbage, which is very rare for Kanye. The Version of Wolves he released loving sucks, which is dumb as hell because the one he performed at SNL was one of my favorite Kanye things ever. Facts is bad too, but the biggest piece of poo poo is definitely Fade. How that got of this record is beyond me.

I found the OG version of Wolves and I'm very happy he cut Sia and Vic Mensa because Sia sounds like poo poo. she needs to cover face and her mouth

Fade is good  I find it kind of hard to believe that Ultralight beam or at least Chance's verse on there was meant for Chance's album though.

I left out a word but chance's verse strikes me as something he wrote for himself and I didnt hear that anywhere it's just my own speculation Im glad it is on this album though either way it's one of the best things on there. Waves is great too wouldve been a shame if it didnt make the cut.

Chance's verse is incredible, and so is the Donnie Trumpet album. I can't wait for him to release his first real album. Ultra Light Beam is the highlight of a great album to me. I really dig Famous too, with that Sister Nancy twist in the middle.

I'm sure this post has been made before but I've seen mostly only love for pablo... Is there context or something I'm not getting about the album? I've listened to it a couple times and it's the first project from Kanye that I really don't like. Maybe it just hasn't grown on me, but theneedledrop's review perfectly sums up my opinion of the album. I'll eventually listen to it more, I didn't have any hype or expectations for it pre-release but was completely underwhelmed.

I could see people being turned off by how slapdash and all-over-the-place it is, but I really enjoy how loose, fun, and carefree the album sounds. That, with all the different covers, tracklists, and versions of the songs makes me feel like Kanye leveraged the album's messiness (intentionally or not) into becoming part of the art itself. The only criticism I would levy at this album is that Kanye really phoned in his verses even more than usual, and even then there's not really a huge focus on Kanye's rapping to make that an issue for me.

Silver Brushes posted:My only criticism is the god-tier cocktease of saying "help me out Three Stacks" halfway through the track. Kanye does that poo poo all the time, like on Pusha's new album it says MPA features Kanye and A$AP Rocky and Kanye just sings the chorus and A$AP sometimes quietly sings a long. At first glance a song with A$AP, Kanye, and Pusha looked incredible but overtime it played I kept thinking I was hearing the wrong song or missed a verse or something. Or like when Four Five Seconds features Paul McCartney and he doesn't say a single thing. Kanye can be the king of feature cockteases.

There's literally no one else in rap who has an album run, from College Dropout to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, like Kanye Its hard as hell to do that for so many years in rap. Especially someone who has switched up his style multiple times.

And you don't have to qualify it with "in rap", his musical run stands up as one of the best ever, regardless of genre.

This album is the end of the run. It's the first time he's released an album that isn't a classic. In a decade, this will be the least remembered Kanye album.

But with music I would say "one of" with Rap there is no one close. Closest would have been Kast if 3k didn't stop. Eh I don't think Yeezus is a classic though I don't hate it like other people do. Pablo is still up in the air. Talk to me at the end of a year and I can give you a better answer personally. Dexo fucked around with this message at 05:56 on Feb 22, 2016 |

Yeezus owns. I dunno how you define something as "a classic" but atm Yeezus definitely seems like the end of a run. Maybe it's because all his other albums feel so much like total packages within themselves whereas Pablo is a huge mishmash

Its funny how Kanye and Rihanna both dropped around the same time, both being held up for a long time. I'd say this is a pretty long run-up for both. 10 years from now, I think people will have some interesting stories to tell. Or whatever time frame specified in the NDA. TLOP sounds like 3 different but unfinished albums. 1/3 Gospel 1/3 trap 1/3 old Ye. Its really strange looking at Kanye's past output. Even if I don't like his production or lyrics, I like his taste. Listening to something like Late Registration to TLOP, you can't even imagine how they are the same artist. Beyond his growth, he simply lacked the quality control that he had in the past. Everything else I could say has been said by Anthony Fantano. Fantano is pretty embarrassing but he had Kanye's number in the TLOP review. There are just enough bad lyrics and weird musical flourishes that you know its a Kanye album but only because those things are so predictable at this point (post MBDTF). Its like Kanye is imitating himself, which is funny considering he is imitated, so who is copying who? TLOP is the inception of rap albums. Yeezus is probably won't be remembered as a classic. It is still a quality album in the greater scope of things. I think he wasn't imitated as much but he was in sync with the noise, singing, and racial sentiment of the time. Yeezus is Ye distorting the sounds in the direction of anger instead of ennui.

TLOP and Yeezus are both great and interesting albums. Kanye's worst album is Graduation by a large margin (and even that one is still good)

Other than maybe Blood on the Leaves, the great tracks on TLOP are a large margin better than those on Yeezus. There are a ton of real quality songs on this thing .

Agreed. I really only like 3 songs from Yeezus - Blood on the Leaves, Bound 2, and New Slaves but I am still enjoying giving TLOP full run throughs Seems like the people who like Yeezus aren't that into TLOP and vice versa. crazy how music works. Anyway, can I still not buy this anywhere? I thought it was coming out on Itunes but I don't see it
