Cant stop listening to the album. Beautiful morning, you're the sun in my morning babe is so good

That line has been stuck in my head for a while. Felt weird when I read your post while that repeating in my head at that point. lol

Piano Wolves

Best version I have heard so far

Jesus fucking christ

edit: Only gripes I have are the transition they have from when they cut off Kanye's unfollow/unswallow line, and how quiet Sia is (although that's just the fault of not having a good enough sample of her part). Overall 8.7/10 as a track, hoping for the official version soon though.

Alternate link

Messy but shows potential in Wolves. If we can get that deep bass, and Vic & Sia's verses while keeping Frank as the closer to it, shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Let me eat even more Ye.

How do you guys like famous? I can't get past the Adlibs from swizz beatz

I've never been bothered by Swizz's ad-libs over the years, but I can see why others would. The switch up towards the second half is awesome and incredibly joyous.

ONE THINGS THOSE AD LIBS CAN'T DO IS

STOP US
NOW

 

[Gaz_RB]

I'm just going to keep listening to the last 50 seconds of Wolves.

Where is Boys Don't Cry?

 

[joeposh]

Wolves doesn't need to be "fixed".. it's fine. 2nd best track on the album behind FML.

Did you hear the earlier versions of it? TLOP cut lacks the emotional impact, mostly because of that corny rap section that goes on for way too long and totally undercuts an otherwise beautiful and haunting track.

 

[Bread]

swizz makes famous work, that song would be super forgettable if not for the amazing bam bam beat.

 

[NervousXtian]

Yes, and the current version is fine.

How does Facts go so hard now

 

[STILLethal]

I like 10 songs, the rest is just obnoxious and not needed

 

[double jump]

Ye scoring films is long overdue.

Absolutely agree. I just wonder if he can work in the tight time constraints.

 

[Owari]

nope. no info about when it'll happen, either.

Or if it will happen at all.

It grew on me. "WAKE UP MR. WEST"

Well originally the album was only 10 tracks, which 10?

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

One of the things I got from this record is that Kanye wants to bang Taylor Swift.

 

[Kaizer]

Charlie Heat fixed that beat up so good, the original was a substandard Metro Boomin beat.

 

[Macattk15]

So do I. Way to go Kanye!

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

So do I. Way to go Kanye!

Taylor not that hot tho

 

[STILLethal]

Well originally the album was only 10 tracks, which 10?

1, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 15, 14-17 (still haven't given 14-17 a good listen though, but Fade is obnoxious af with the 'i feel it fade' in the background nonstop, ruins the song)

And I switch to next song when Swizz Beats comes on

Such a fantastic first couple. Ye 2020!

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Yo, my local Adidas store had lines outside the store just to sign up for the Yeezy's online raffle.

The thirst is so real.

 

[JTripper]

Father Stretch My Hands is really annoying to me but god damn I look forward to the bleached asshole line every time.

My favorite stretch on the album is easily Famous to Highlights however Low Lights is way too long. Should be a 40 second prologue to highlights and that's it.

I'm not a huge fan of the B-side honestly but I do like FML. Waves and Wolves just don't do it for me.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

That part on Famous when the Sister Nancy kicks in. Is that what heaven sounds like?

 

[BlackGhost]

The start of father stretch my hands is so great to me. Then Kanye hits you with the bleach line lol,......I'm used to it now.......its grown on me?....

 

[robotrock]

No. Heaven sounds like the Feedback beat.

 

[GoodMorning]

No. Heaven sounds like the Feedback beat.

Heaven sounds like Freestyle 4 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

No. Heaven sounds like the Feedback beat.

 

[Proc]

as I skip around the album, FML has immediately stood out to me

 

[Red_Man]

Funny thing is the more you listen to it the more dense it becomes. When I first heard it I felt like I breezed through it. It feels much longer now and I say I appreciate the shortness of the songs more because of that. I'm hearing a lot of new things through every subsequent listening session of the album.

This. So much this. Every listen I come to appreciate it more and more. It's on MBDTF levels of consistency from beginning to end.

 

[Kaizer]

Guys clearly Heaven sounds like Waves

 

[TheMortarion]

I thought this was only delayed a week for traditional online stores, now I'm reading it's not going to hit their at all?

 

[blame space]

No one really knows. Kanye said it would never be for sale but he says a lot of things.

 

[Dragun619]

I dunno if this was posted yet, But BIGQUINT, posted his reaction & thoughts on the album.

lol, I'm pretty much the same.

Dude is mad feeling it.

There's been like 6 people on my campus that I've heard bumping the album in public today.

His reaction to Father stretch my hand is pretty much me. Fucking love both parts. The song makes me happy and sad at the same time.

 

[Mortemis]

lmao, yeah I aint gonna lie, as stupid as a line it is it's one of those stupid lines that make you laugh.

Lines like the corny bitches you wish you could unfollow are just bad straight up, and ruins Kanye's rapping verse in Wolves.

 

[robotrock]

Heaven actually probably sounds like 30 Hours. Forever and ever

 

[jokkir]

Okay, after a few listens, Wolves is still ruined and Freestyle 4 is meh.

FML is great, Ultralight Beams is great, Feedback is fun, Real Friends is pretty good too.

 

[double jump]

Heaven actually probably sounds like 30 Hours. Forever and ever

yeah 30 is a grower love that beat almost as much as fade.

 

[jay23]

The Sister Nancy Bam Bam sample on famous is everything. I replay that part so many times.

Chance's verse on Ultra Light Beams is life

Best verse on the album easily

 

[Red_Man]

I wish he hadn't dropped it on Soundcloud, it would have been such a great surprise. I love it, but I had already listened to it 10-15 times by the time he released TLOP. Lowkey highlight of the album.

 

[Draper]

YES, I share in both of these views.

Spoiler

But I also love fake Future's parts

 

[Kraftwerk]

ayyy

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

That's why besides Real Friends I ignored the good Friday tracks

 

[Zekes!]

I was on a packed bus listening this today and when the beat drops in Father Stretch My Hands I just wanted to get up and have the whole bus vibe with me

Also according to KTT there's a remaster up on Tidal now that sounds better. No Wolves fix yet.

 

[zewone]

As ridiculous as K. West can be, The Life of Pablo is pretty damn good. Big step up from Yeezus.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I can guarantee that Fade is the next big club anthem.

Metro has a producer credit on Waves, that surprises me.

Edit: Also produced FML. Damn, Metro is fucking kill it right now.
