It's true. I've listened to it like 6 times today and just want to keep listening.
Underrated post
EDIT: What is with these Ye haters? Do you skip tracks before they end if you don't feel them?

"It's all about the parts"
i'm skipping my morning classes tomorrow because listening to TLoP inspired me to stay up and start writing some rhymes. I'm fully planning to fall asleep to the album again tonight. I remember reading a story interviewing Terrace Martin that was really great and he commented about how he likes to live in an album. Integrate it into his life. Just have it playing throughout his day and become a part of him.
I'm just gonna find and quote it.
Interview here
I'm trying to do something similar with TLoP. Me, my head phones, my life, and Ye.

Seems like you're completely off the mark. Many people that don't like yeezus have liked this and vise versa. It's just about people's taste man.
This doesn't really feel much like Yeezus to me, for the most part. Yeezus felt dark, dirty, hectic, and broken in the best ways.
this one feels disorganized but feels like it covers a much wider spectrum than Yeezus.

Yeah I'm not getting the hate either. I must be on my 6th or 7th listen and with the exception of the spoken snippets (Silver Surfer, Low Lights), I'm loving everything. The two or three friends that have been able to hear it all love the album too.
And I hated Yeezus so there's that
Edit: I also loved Graduation but maybe that's cause the Glow in the Dark tour was the first concert I paid for and was able to attend after high school hahaha

Is it a coincidence most of the people who outright hate the album are Graduation and CD stans?
I wonder if they think Eminem still puts out hot shit and Lupe is just misunderstood.

I enjoyed Yeezus on first listen and thought it had some nice beats, but I'm not gonna lie, I feel like I force myself to love it as a Kanye Stan.
This album was a much much easier first listen
I don't know, I'm a CD Stan but still love almost all of his albums. There are people that just can't accept anything after that era though. I feel bad for them really.

Most of them just ain't Hip-Hop fans, so I can't hold their opinions too well.
It's a momentum problem. You hear something that ends big, and you're given a skit to follow. A skit that is as long as the songs that sandwich it smh.
I guess I care too much about keeping things how the artist intends.
Even om CD I don't delete the skits. I really wonder if he'll change the order in the rerelease.
EDIT: Yeah CD is great what is up with this strange opinion.

gonna catch heat in this thread for this but i definitely think french montana should have had a spot on waves too. he's the first guy i can think of that puts that music out with max b in jail now and his lazy ass flow would have really worked on there. plus you have the potential for double "haaanh" ad libs.

Hmm I'm bothered by Ye's [mentioned consequence] for getting divorced. He expresses his love for his kid(s) clearly, but not really for Kim. I guess he does that enough outside of this album, but I liked Bound 2 for that reason.
Same.

The description on metacritic mentions Vic & Sia but they weren't on the Tidal version of wolves. Hmm
I probably am off the mark. I also don't get much about people's taste, which is fine. I pretty much just liked College Dropout and LR. A few tracks off of Graduation and a few more on MBDTF. The rest isn't a matter of "this sounds like shit" or "this is bad"...I literally am just lost and feel like the coherence completely eludes me.
After hearing Real Friends, I thought that this album would be a return to that form, but not really. It's more of the same that Kanye has become...which is fine. I just really feel like my ears say to me "why are you subjecting me to this shit."
I think it works. The first bit of the album up through I Love Kanye seems to be about a good, faithful man brought down by the temptations of fame. Waves is almost like an event that causes said man to realize what he's been doing, and try to make amends, which is what brings us to the emotional low of FML. Almost as though Waves is about trying to deal with loss, which reconnects him with his spiritual side and awakens him to what a sinmer he's become.
There's like 1 skit on this album...
I'm specifically referring to Low lights, which honestly, I can't think of what to even call it.

Holy shit, I missed a twitter storm last night haha. I think it's really funny that he thinks about mothers and their children listening to an album with songs like Freestyle 4 on it, that have bars that are just like "what if we start fuckin'". Speaking of bars, I also think it's funny Kanye tweeted bars are worth more then money, when his album is severely lacking in good fucking bars.
Kanye should really lay down his twitter fingers if he knows what's good for him.

Low Lights is great. Perfectly placed after Feedback and before Highlights. At MSG he played a version of it that was about 40 seconds shorter, and I do wish he had gone with that version instead.
you listening on cassette? hit next!
Yea, but you mention a momentum problem when replying to that other post about beat changes. its just one skit, how does that cause a momentum problem? Especially in between feedback and highlight

Since he wrote Jesus Walks which is imo still one of Kanyes best singles.
I agree with rhymefest. He said
"his thoughts and soul arent alright. My brother needs help in the form of therapy. Spiritually and mentally. He needs to step out of the spot lights and the yesmen and get better."
Comparing Kanyes attitude to that from 10 years ago, I totally agree.
Hes gotten sick from fame
That's literally what this album is about.
