wow this album is a trip. It can be pretty cringey with the CPU voice and stupid(Lowlights/Waves) but it was actually interesting enough to listen to the whole thing. I like how they got a lot of extended samples.

Finally listening to TLOP: April Fool's Edition and tell me how these versions sound more like demos than the 1.0 versions :psyduck:

I'm sticking with my 1.0 copy. I don't feel like these changes add anything that was significantly lacking from the original release or anything. I'm used to 1.0 because I've heard it so many goddamn times by now and I'd have been open to switching to this version if it legit sounded better, but it just sounds wrong.

This might be the first album to ever go number one on streaming alone, as sales thru the kanyewest.com shop are looking like they won't be reported. Estimated 90K conversion

It's just more polished and refined it was already really good imho.

Wolves still surprisingly bad tho. And changing the line on Famous is still unforgivable...

I actually think the more offensive change to Famous is changing the beginning of the "Bom Bom Bom" part

For reals. That change made the drop dramatically worse. The original Famous is still the best version.

Taking out those weird vocal samples from the beat of Fade was a misstep too although the song is mixed & mastered way way way way way better now so it's almost an even trade.

the issue is that you are still using tidal when the album is no longer exclusive

I have no idea what he was going for with the change. Maybe trying to make it so Rihanna's voice isn't obscured at the start of the drop? It sounds so much worse.

Are all of the various versions in sync now? Like, does Tidal have "the most correct version" while Spotify has a slightly older version? I can't keep track of what/when things have been updated

I dont think anyone has any clue anymore not even yeezy.

Last i saw on twitter he was soliciting feedback on one of the fixed versions of Wolves so im guessing he still has the capacity for more inane tinkering in him

Damn, this is good coffee.
I'm of two minds on Wolves personally. My gut reaction to the original (i.e. TLOP 1.0) version was that I was sad that Sia and Vic Mensa had been cut, but the bridge/verse he does at the end grew on me. Then he released the revised version and it felt overlong, or like he was trying to please everyone (which I believe to be the case). At the same time, though, I appreciate that he shoved the Frank Ocean stuff onto its own track on the 2.0 version. So I really don't know what I prefer, I guess.

The entire album was removed then re-added. I think it must have been a technical issue, as everything sounds the same.

Has any fan made a remix that bolted on a section of Tyler's freestyle to Freestyle 4? Anything making that song meatier than 1:30 long would be great.

The new F4 has a different beat and Tyler's freestyle is over his own remade version of the beat I think

I think Wolves is the song you would want to put in that spot. And I would personally swap No More Parties and Waves, but yeah.

Meh, Album sequencing is pretty fun as it can completely change an album's tone and purpose.

Also this album is way too long and a completely directionless mess the way it was released. For me personally it's way better at 35 minutes and sequenced in a way that makes any sense... mine is a lot closer to I think the second or third tracklist he posted, the first one with the Waves title. But even then it's a far cry from something I'd call "greatness," more like Kanye's decent & sixth best album
