Seconding Bastard. It's my favorite album of his. Goblin is pretty decent too. I've never liked his serious stuff, he's gotten great at production but I don't think his voice doesn't work over the beats.

Wolf. Bastard has some good tracks but don't bother with Goblin at all, it's tiresome poo poo.

The faces he makes while posting are inexcusable! When he writes a post his face is like a troll double checking bones to see if there's any meat left! When I post I look like a peacock softly kissing a rose! Didn't his parents provide him with a posting mirror to practice forums faces growing up?
I'd start with Wolf

Sorry guys was told to stop asking for recommendations. Guess I'll throw on Goblin.

Bastard and Cherry Bomb are both really good and represent the two ends of his aesthetic (i.e. edgy horror-core teenager poo poo and n.e.r.d-lite). His two albums in the middle tried to be a mix of the two styles and imo are not very good albums as a result

Hello!
Although I maintain Yonkers continues to be the best solo work he's ever produced.

The best group work is, of course, Rella.

fwiw I agree with this except I don't hate Goblin or anything just don't think it's very good. Wolf is where Tyler peaked before just deciding almost all his music should sound super ugly and not good

Yeah I think Cherry Bomb is really good and it's kind of bizarre to me that someone would choose that as the album where his music sounds "super ugly." None of his albums are particularly great as albums but they all have great songs and I think he's really interesting as both a persona and a producer. Kanye fans dipping their toes in definitely need to check out Smuckers off of Cherry Bomb tho

It's because of the mixing/mastering. I don't think that album would get nearly the amount of poo poo it gets if Tyler didn't intentionally mix it to sound like it was playing out of the speakers of a McDonald's drive-thru

It's been a couple of weeks and after originally loving the record, now I notice some flabby parts. The run of Feedback to Low Light to Highlights to Freestyle 4 to I Love Kanye is not great. That's a tough run right in the middle of the album. From there it's golden all the way out.

This is pretty much how I feel about it, and to me the tracklist he first posted with the Waves title is just a lot better in general, with regards to flow and everything. I do still have a really hard time tolerating No More Parties In LA, it's just super boring and way too long. I'll probably end up with an alternate 35 minute long tracklist that I think is pretty decent, which I guess is more than I could personally say for Yeezus.

Of all the times Yeezy has surprised me, him going "ummm. Hi everybody!" Might be the biggest shock of all.
