If that's the case I want it delayed at least a month. Get real, that's insane.

Sure, which is why I think 808s is still a great album overall. But it's worth talking about this stuff. It's okay to criticize and analyze things you like.

Whilst I wait for the CD to drop I'm re listening to his other albums
Robocop is the best song off 808's easily, the orchestra parts are sublime and the drums hnnnghhh

I'm partial to Paranoid, Street Light's, Coldest Winter, Bad News, and See You In My Nightmares.
I feel Robocop would have been better if it was he original version with the la girl part added at the end.

Yup Street Lights, Bad News etc are also amazing
Ohh I haven't heard the original version what's different?

So when's this album dropping? Didn't see that event Kanye held.
Tomorrow, probably. Hopefully. Please.
if you can figure that out (especially after watching the event http://tidal.com/fo/tidalxyeezy3-live) then you can finish the Witness in under 10 minutes,

Nice clothes, but they look like something the human race would wear if we were driven underground by an alien invasion or nuclear apocalypse.

I'd say the main difference is that it's not as "produced" if that makes sense?
Just less bombastic, less extra.
But maybe you'll like that more, I don't think it's necessarily worse than this version.
Edit:more subdued

So now he can't even release albums like a normal person?
Ye been fell off bruh
Ye been fell off bruh
Rhi Rhi fucked up Anti, Tinashe's Joyride is a train wreck and Ye's testing my patience with Pablo. My faves are having a bad time rolling albums out this year.
Master complete
Mike Dean played some tracks on Periscope
Tracklist he had had 12 tracks
He tried to cover it up and failed because he's high as shit
edit: Pandora says it drops today, Thug said Saturday after their SNL performance.
If dean has put it hands on it then it shouldn't be long now. Maybe the drop it during the SNL performance.

Maybe we are living the life of Pablo
He probably has one of the stream rips.

I'm probably late to this but the cover is kinda genius.
The writing is in three separate columns. This represents the three different lives of Pablo as described in the Party in LA song. But at multiple points they converge messily just like Ye's different personality and moods and not cleanly like everything merges into one in the centre of the graphic.
Then you've got the wedding photo in the left bottom corner section. This represents his relationship with Kim being in his corner. His family grounding him. The simple things in life.

im high as shit
that's good
honestly i think the cover perfectly fits the sound aesthetic of the album
i like it
Are you a KTT poster? Hehe.
I am super late to this party, but is that the album art? Yikes. I can appreciate the above posters take on it and all... but I'm not a fan.

Haha at 2.17, sounds like the Street Fighter 2 announcer saying, "perfect".
This was really good write-up, I think you might be spot on. It's weird that I keep seeing people say that No More Parties In LA wouldn't with the rest of the album, when it would have fit this Narrative perfectly.
i ripped the audio from the stream, made it louder and EQ'd it a bit, doesn't sound perfect but it's good enough until he actually releases it
went outside for a moment, i could upload it for you guys if you're interested when i get back home in like 30 minutes if you're interested and that's allowed

Doesn't he sample SF2 in Facts?
Down.
And I think it's allowed, not the official release and streams are available everywhere.
It is for sure. He does it on Facts as well. Bryson Tiller's song Sorry Not Sorry has a sample on it and the announcer saying Fight. Shit, and Wale has a song with a SF2 Chun-Li sample. Dope.

So now we're supposed to look forward to saturday? Nah i'm not going to look forward to anything anymore. No expectations. This is stupid as hell. We'll see.
there it is
not perfect, some tracks sound better than others, high frequencies are too pronounced but i cut it into individual tracks at least. just went off the final tracklist for the song names
EDIT: reupload, better quality + added fade http://we.tl/vwHg862w2T

I'm on the fence on what to do. Shall i wait a few days to see if the full thing releases and then hear it for the first time, or just check this one out. It's possible only Wolves was the one track that wasn't finished yet.
