So one of the leaks that was put up on zippy was leaked by Kanye or someone else very close to the project

via 4chan /mu/

"PERFECT"

 

[Nickdogmoneycash]

Bought half way through the album, and holy shit does Kanye seem to have low esteem.

It is possible to have low self esteem while also occasionally referring to yourself as a God?

 

[Baroquemantic]

So all other music services next week? Waiting on Google Play.

I assume so. I'm ditching this tidal trial as soon as it's on Google Play.

 

[EloquentM]

Yeah it sounds like 30 hours is the start of the bonus tracks.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

It is possible to have low self esteem while also occasionally referring to yourself as a God?

of course. depends on the day. people are fragile regardless of how the present themselves.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Gotdamn Facts go hard.

 

[atr0cious]

It is possible to have low self esteem while also occasionally referring to yourself as a God?

Self reaffirming constantly and slags any women who he deems worthy of his gaze?

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Y'know I was just halfway through writing another thought about understanding the disjointed emotions on the album, and then I remember it's called The Life of Pablo, and Pablo Picasso, and he feels like Pablo, and I should probably sleep soon

 

[Eleuin]

Sister nancy sample on famous is awesome

S/o to Skate 1

[Rastafarian42]

Just Finished listening to it back to back. It may be in my top 3 Kanye albums.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

for god's sake folks I really shouldn't have to say this but no piracy talk here, please

[Baroquemantic]

My gawd, Fade is amazing. Wish it was longer.

 

[sephi22]

Y'know I was just halfway through writing another thought about understanding the disjointed emotions on the album, and then I remember it's called The Life of Pablo, and Pablo Picasso, and he feels like Pablo, and I should probably sleep soon

Don't forget Paul the Apostle - the Pablo in the album's title

 

[Dali]

Just finished a play through and I'm not really feeling this. Too much r&b, not enough rapping. When he does rap,too often it's a garbage verse where he says some stupid ass gibberish then repeats it over and over again maybe changing one word to make it sound clever.

Some songs like 30 hours are short on singing r&b bullshit and verse heavy but after this one listen I'm left with the initial impression that those songs are few and far in between.

 

[Terrordactyl]

for god's sake folks I really shouldn't have to say this but no piracy talk here, please

For real, the man is 53 mil in debt!

 

[Catvoca]

Man, it feels good to wake up and check the thread to see the album's actually out.

 

[Blastoise]

This feels more on the 808's level for me. Good not great.

Some tracks are stellar tho.

 

[nib95]

30 hours is such a damn good track. Where can I download the soundcloud version?

Seconded.

 

[FZZ]

Full credits are out

Travis Scott aka Jacques Webster is not anywhere to be found

;_;

Travis please

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Listened twice so far.

Waves --> FML --> Real Friends --> Wolves is definitely my favorite stretch on here. Love the style of production throughout that section.

The album as a whole though.....huh. It's solid, but after the stream I really thought I was going to like this more than I do.

-Ultralight Beam is a bit too gospel for my tastes so it honestly leaves me antsy and looking at the skip button.
-Father Stretch My Hands is aight.
-Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 2 is where the album finally steps on the gas. Fauxture leaves me just wanting the real Future on this, but he doesn't hurt the track or anything. Plus that Imogen Heap vocoder effect at the end is so good.
-Famous is pretty great. Like a Graduation track filtered through MBDTF's darker tone and over the top arrogance. Swizz Beatz is an unfortunate addition here, but whatever.
-Feedback is pretty solid. Good to see the Yeezus sound is still alive and kicking.
-Low Lights is cool. Pacing, I guess.
-Highlights is too "glossy Graduation". Waste of Young Thug.
-Freestyle 4 is a waste of an amazing beat.
-I Love Kanye meh
-Waves = dopeness
-FML = dopeness. That sample drop at the end is the best thing on the entire album aside from Fade.
-Real Friends = dopeness. Again, darker Graduation.
-Wolves. Luckily for me I didn't listen to the old version enough to remember it so I don't know how much worse this is. Still like the track a lot. Kanye's verses (particularly the corny repetition) on here detracts from the atmosphere quite a bit though.
-Silver Surfer Intermission is whatever. Nice to see Kanye reaching out to the wavy one, but it doesn't do much to the project one way or another.
-30 Hours is disappointing. Generally not a fan of meandering "end credits" songs with a lot of talking, especially when it's laid over a good beat. Kanye's right, this IS the type of track you ride out to, but everything after the 2nd verse kinda kills the vibe.
-No More Parties In LA is the definition of a #YawnSkip. Didn't like it from day 1, was happy when the tracklist was leaked without it. Why is this back
-Facts is a banger but Kanye's verses are so annoying. Conflicted.
-Fade is amazing, should be 3 minutes longer, and shouldn't be dumped down here with the pleb tracks.


S'aight/10. Doesn't have the dropkick to the face appeal that Yeezus does (nor anything touching the g.o.a.t. Kanye track, Hold My Liquor) and doesn't have the hits MBDTF does. Might have more songs I like on here than 808s and Graduation though. Too early for any concrete ranking

 

[sephi22]

Man FML is 100% the best song in this album. If this is not a unanimous opinion yet, it will be in a few years because this song will age well. I can see this song having crossover appeal and being used in some TV/movie score

 

[213372bu]

All of you guys waiting for the theater codes or waking up to this have to post your impressions.

I gotta sleep though, GN GAF.

 

[FZZ]

Yeah I'm gonna go to bed too

Hoping to wake up to the codes for the album

Night GAF enjoy your feast, it has been a long ass ride

 

[SubScorpianZero]

FML is the main stand out for me.

I like what he was trying to do with fade.


Probably needs more listens but after initial play through, I still feel like Yeezus had a bigger impact on me with Im in it, blood on the leaves, and hold my liquor.

 

[reKon]

waves WOW

 

[hughesta]

Yeah I'm gonna go to bed too

Hoping to wake up to the codes for the album

Night GAF enjoy your feast, it has been a long ass ride

thanks for being here for me through all the insanity
god bless

it's better than graduation and << mbdtf, yeezus and 808s.

but man fml is up there with hold my liquor for me. that outro is incredible. waves -> wolves is such a good stretch. dude definitely kind of wasted young thug on here. that guy has such good melodic flows. throw him on father stretch pt. 2 instead. agreed on 30 hours and no more parties too. they just make me thinking about skipping it after a minute in.

 

[TheFixer]

This is the best hip-hop album of all time.

Holy FUCK.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

So I finally turned off my laptop, did my bedtime shit, and got into bed. I wanted to listen to ULB one last time.

I'm halfway through the album. Damn it Ye.

 

[Mistle]

This album might grow on me. Loved Yeezus and MBDTF first listen though.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

So I finally turned off my laptop, did my bedtime shit, and got into bed. I wanted to listen to ULB one last time.

I'm halfway through the album. Damn it Ye.

I thought I was going to bed an hour ago. Wanted to take ULB for one more spin.

Man I'm down to No More Parties again...

 

[Dre3001]

This album is easily top 3 Kanye for me after 3 back to back to back playthroughs.

Its like a combination of 808s, College Dropout, and MBDTF in one.

I avoided all the leaked Good Friday tracks and the MSG stream so this was my first time hearing it and just unbelievable.

Kanye did it again.

 

[Ibuki]

So I finally turned off my laptop, did my bedtime shit, and got into bed. I wanted to listen to ULB one last time.

I'm afraid this will happen, so I'm just staying up

 

[Net_Wrecker]

but man fml is up there with hold my liquor for me. that outro is incredible. waves -> wolves is such a good stretch.

I thought I would feel the same after the stream but it didn't hit me as hard on here for whatever reason. Still a really great track, and absolutely top 3 on the album, if not the best.

 

[nib95]

This album is easily top 3 Kanye for me after 3 back to back to back playthroughs.

My thoughts exactly, also after 3 back to backs. I'm so glad he added the extra tracks. It already doesn't feel that long. 10 tracks would have been criminally short.

How were you able to do this? your starving ass these past few days lol

 

[overcast]

So where can I listen to this? Only tidal forreal.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Aight. So after listening to this completely, this is one of my favorite Ye albums. Definitely top 3. There's isn't a single track on this that I dislike. Not a one. It's amazing, in my opinion.

I'm not sure I can even do a proper favorite list because it would legit consist of damn near every track. ULB would be at the top of said list, though.

Edit: ^ As of now, yep, unfortunately.

Yeah, it'll be exclusive on it for a couple of days

 

[EloquentM]

Ya for now

 

[unempLLOYD]

How I think everyone would be dancing when Fade plays on a club.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Top 3 Ye' album for sure.

 

[Blastoise]

I more 'Feedback' and 'Facts' than 'Waves' and 'FML'. I just like hearing Ye spit hawt fire.

 

[Eos]

http://m.audiomack.com/song/justin-lombardi/mix-mashup-wolves-feat-sia-vic-mensa-frank-ocean

 

[EloquentM]

Damn I really like feedback too and high lights and famous and ULB and waves and definitely fml and so on and so forth. This is a really solid piece of work.

 

[Bowlie]

Fuckk, got here and the album is out? I'm runnin to Tidal.

What are the feelings so far?

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

is he gonna drop some merch for this album?
