If this really does bring tidal back it sets a terrible precedent. People are so thirsty they just want to drink.

Kanye:TLOP::Lucas:Star Wars

Pls no

 

[Catvoca]

Can I just purchase the album instead of being forced to use a streaming service.

Usually stream exclusives still have a download link.


Tidal payed ye a lot for this clearly. Nuts. Jay really trying to get back into the market.

Somone on Twitter's got you covered

 

[STILLethal]

Umm that was always there. He fucked it up by removing vic and sia and adding a trash rap verse.

nah fam wasnt this bad

[Jest Chillin]

I think he's just saying that his own site will sell the album at the same time that it hits the other music services. Not a big deal.

At this point, we all know that anything Kanye tweets can be interpreted multiple ways and is just as likely incorrect as it is correct.

So with that being said, Imma continue to make jokes about how annoying the mess of this release is.

 

[robotrock]

Came in here for some impressions on the album and its just people bitching about Tidal

It's good.

 

[AzureSkies]

What if TLOP is just a never-ending album? Like, Kanye just tinkers and adds shit and removes shit from it for years.

TLOP: Definitive Edition

I think you are exaggerating. I see praise for the album everywhere on this thread.

TLOP: Definitive Edition

TLOP: Album of the Year edition

 

[Prototype Viktor]

The ride isn't over after all oh my fucking god

I would love this. Whole new meaning of Yeezy seasons

Who's saying that Kanye will be done in a year?

It's been out a while, the guy reviewed it before the album was officially out smh

Guess I'll hear this in a week.

Sour taste in my mouth about all this.

id bleach my asshole for sia and vic

No matter how much these delays have helped the album, and how damn good the album is, this release has been really shitty.

Also, I doubt Tidal is going to be getting a huge surge of subscribers after it goes on sale. Most people are using their free trial, and Tidal's ability to make itself look like shit has happened again.

They gave MBDTF 2/5. The review is mostly just talking shit about his character.

Let's wait for the real reviews.

I don't blame you much for wanting to be free, I just wanted you to know.

I would love if someone (doesn't have to be Kanye) maintained an album in a software sort of way, continuously releasing changes, taking feedback, and making more changes. Would be a really cool experiment.

He should also replace the 30 hours on the album with the soundcloud. The phone call was cool at first but it's gonna be a distractor

Yes please. It was annoying the first time.

 

[Floridian]

[robotrock]

Those KTT guys who said TLOP was worse than their leak when it debuted at Yeezy Season 3, have they said anything about the new release?

George Lucas did that. It turned out awesome

 

[robotrock]

Music that changes based on fan feedback is a dark Hell I don't want to imagine

 

[bidguy]

fucking lol

 

[sdornan]

George Lucas did that. It turned out awesome

Maybe over a one-year period instead of 20 years. 😝

Just once as an experiment. I obviously don't think it should be the norm.

You know they're still going to use those Free Trial numbers in a Press Release to talk about how their subscriber base jumped by 500% in the month of Feb and won't mention how much of them actually paid and how many actually cancelled.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

Cudi's hum on Waves is so warm, so welcoming

So did you buy it like I did from tidal or what? Still processing? I'm pretty close to just calling the bank and cancelling it. It's like it's stuck in limbo.

I don't want to come off like a fanboy, because I'm not at all. But come on...just review the album. Spends way too much time talking about Kanye himself.

What it isn’t is consistent. Perhaps it’s the sound of a man over-reaching himself. Perhaps it’s a document of a mind coming increasingly unglued: you can find plenty of evidence here to support that interpretation. Or perhaps it’s something more prosaic. One of the weirder side effects of the Madison Square Garden event was to make his music seem like a secondary consideration to his fashion range. The focus seemed to be on the clothes, which might well explain the distinct lack of focus on the album.

Am I wrong in thinking this is garbage?

 

[Mik317]

Freestyle 4 ends too soon man

When's the TLOP season pass coming out?

That review was made before the album even dropped. It's BS.

 

[Tesseract]

this is kinda weak, like if beethoven had to make something while his bowels turned over food poisoning into bubble guts

 

[Owari]

Freestyle 4 ends too soon man

A lot of the tracks end too soon tbh. Hopefully we get some remixes and features on Good Fridays

 

[Kiru]

Still not perfect. Only Kanye himself can help us.

EDIT: The sudden volume increase at 1:45, voice coming more from the left, etc...

He heard my words! lol

 

[CoolOff]

So this isn't MGSV, but Mass Effect 3?

Nah, you're right lol. This is the highest rated comment in their comments section

How did the editor let this review through? What are you trying to knock down the Metacritic score a few points? How bout some legitimate points about the album instead of just attacking the guy as a person and presenting general points with nothing to back it up...What an asinine review.

 

[cory64]

This is his Damita Jo

 

[FZZ]

Feel like this thread is definitely gonna get a second OT

Especially since final non-Tidal release isn't until next week

 

[Floridian]

This is history we're witnessing.

 

[robotrock]

Brilliant.

 

[Buzzbrad]

I can't get over the CDQ Facts mix. Turned a 7/10 song to a 10/10.

You're 100% right. Review the music please, I don't care whether the reviewer fancies the artist's tweets.

 

[Fevaweva]

He is fixing Wolves? Weird. It isn't often a music artist admits that their music needs fixing. Especially Kanye West.
