Haven't really been paying attention to this thread (or Kanye for a while) but I have to say, I just previewed each song on itunes, and I think this album is on par with college dropout; classic status for me. I'm liking every song, and that's pretty damn rare for me.

I love me some Kanye, but I think the CD is better to some if they just hear the samples. Some people have problem with various pieces added to each song that they wouldnt hear with the samples. Not to say you'll dislike it, but going by the samples this should be classic status for like everyone :D

Yeah. One more day. I'm not as hyped as I should be even if I kept away from leaks, etc. I guess it's because I have a long agonizing day of school work/paper work tomorrow that I dread it.

But I guess it would be great to come home at the end of the day to listen to Kanye.

Yep, same here... But I'm glad that millions more are now finally gonna get their first-time exposure to what we've all (well, those of us who were obsessively waiting every Friday/Saturday) enjoyed for these past few months.

It's pretty rare for me to ever buy an album. There are few albums being put out today that can truly be enjoyed from start to finish, and are actually produced as true albums. I'll withhold my final judgment until hearing the full versions of the tracks (I've been listening to the 2-3 min versions out there).

But just from listening to those (baring the bonus tracks), I have no doubts I will buy the album, and it will be AMAZING!

Where is my GOOD Weekend track Ye?! I was fully expecting an EPIC track to celebrate the CD's release. Maybe thats why hes so tight lipped right now? He's working hard on something great and going to release it at midnight for his album :D

The stan inside of me is hoping for a new track, but I get a feeling Kanye's probably too drunk off his ass celebrating the release to care about putting out new music

The stan in me doesnt just hope, but believes that he is working on something. I mean...its the weekend before! He could have put out a simple track that he just has sitting in the studio if he didn't really care. I would assume hes got a bunch of crap that will never see the light of day.

The stan in me is telling me that when Ye's even forgot to update his twitter, I think his priorities lie elsewhere rather than with G.O.O.D. Fridays :( Probably not celebrating though, it's a bit early for that and Ye already knows his career is at a sensitive spot.

Yea nobody is freaking out dude. Just wondering what's going on. It would be one thing if he told us its not coming. But he did promise one a week until the end of the year so..."he's given enough" isnt really a valid argument.

Anyone else think that Dark Fantasy (track 1) needs a lot more bass? The bass is so weak when it starts off and it never gets any louder.

I have a problem with artists releasing too much music, because most of it ends up being trash.
See: 99% of Charles Hamilton's discography. I mean, I respect dude for trying different things, but most of them are failures. Failures other artists usually don't put out because they're concerned about the quality of their work that gets out, like J. Cole. If Charles didn't put out 12 mixtapes in the short amount of time he did, he wouldnt've needed the Best of the Hamiltonization Process or whatever mixtape to pick out the small amount of above average songs into a package. He should have done that himself.

On the flipside, Hip Hop Weekly was crazy. My favourite was his Hero freestyle.

Me. I thought it was just me because I love me some bass. Monster though has just the right amount

I guess nobody is making an American Music Awards thread this year. I'm disappointed Ye isnt performing. All of the Lights performance the day before release would have been epic.

Can't argue with this... BUT Zoe did have this one song that he put out that month that made my hype as fuck. I would wild out to this song during all my pregames for like three months after I first heard it.

IM GOING KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY:lol :lol :lol

it's a little light in the britches.

but it's fine to me. if you'd like ridiculous bass reproduction, I'd recommend a pair of Denon D1100's.

I love a good bit of bass. All the other tracks seem fine, I'm just always so underwhelmed when the beat starts after the "Can we get much higher?".

In other news, why is Christian Dior Denim Flow not on the album? It's my favourite of all the Good Friday tracks, and I have impeccable taste so clearly I'm in the right.

I get where you're coming from, fam. In all honesty, I'm not even hyped for GOOD Friday as I was before -- I'm getting the album tomorrow anyhow.

All I want is Mama's Boyfriend. I don't care about any track and I don't care when it gets out but that track -- oh I will love it to death. :D

You mean Dior, Dior galore, I love the cut?

I've taken out Devil in a New Dress (worst song of 2010) and replaced it with CDDF in my playlist.

man Cudi's lyrics were totally undecipherable anyway. Tomato Tomahto.

....Devil in a New Dress is the worst song of 2010? Come on son ........ I haven't listened to the album version, but the GOOD Friday version was kick ass.

Yeah, I've listened to so much of the album, I'm laying off it for a bit, but still picking it up tomorrow mid-day.

And spin, CDDF is awesome, hush. We have all tuned our ears to ignore the CuDi verse at this point. The chorus is great.

u mad, bro. I won't go into rage mode, or even be disappointed if there's no track this weekend. It'd just be nice. We've been on Kanye overload for weeks anyways.
