I like it as the intro personally. But it's interesting to hear it at the end as well

OK GAF, I'll try and keep this as short as I can but I just want to give a little detailed impression now that I have listened to all the albums for thee first time in order over the past 24 hours.
As I stated earlier, I started this little endeavor because of the popularity of this thread and the sheer amount of action it was getting. I have always bagged on Kanye because of his antics and how I perceived him. I've bagged on his music solely based on ignorance and just wanting to hate on his music because I enjoyed hating on him.
Keep in mind, I went into this expecting to hate it with a passion. I WANTED to hate his music. Let me tell you something, I FUCKING LOVE HIS MUSIC. I don't even know what to say, other than I am embarrassed I have dismissed him for so long. Just like a lot of you have said, it is incredible someone can change his style so much over 7 albums and still be enjoyable to listen to, I've never heard anything like this from another group or artist, other than maybe the Beatles. You can really tell how he has evolved and grown in his ability as the albums go along.
Anyway, on to my rankings. I'm not going to go into too much detail because this is the TLOP OT, but here is what I currently think. Please keep in mind, I don't think any of them are bad in any way, it's just the ones I'm ranking at the top just had me like WOW, that was awesome after the album was done. The others I still thought were great, not a single bad album here.
#1:
MBDTF: Simply amazing from start to finish, just wow.
#2:
808's and Heartbreak: Slightly below MBDTF, but still every track on this album had me jammin. Love Lockdown, yeah buddy.
#3:
Watch The Throne: A lot of great tracks, had me jammin hard with a couple of them.
#4:
Graduation: Great album, I really think he started to hit his stride here.
#5:
The College Dropout: A lot of great tracks, but you can tell he was just starting out
#6
Yeezus: This is a tough one for me, there were a few tracks I loved on this album and others I was just WTF. As some of you stated I'll probably need a few listens to really get it.
#7
Late Registration: I don't know why this is last other than it just didn't really blow me away like most of his others did. Still, not a bad album at all, just comes in last place in an amazing discography.
So there is is GAF. This has been a cool experience for me to be honest, I feel like I've changed just a little bit. I really need to keep an more open mind about things and not just write them off because of something like LOL Kanye. I cannot wait to listen to TLOP. I am a believer GAF, Kanye is an amazing artist. Not saying the best of all time now come on, but man you cannot deny his is fucking talented. Just Wow.

Good stuff, Lundz! Following your journey has been one of the highlights of the thread for me.
Get pumped for TLOP, it's a good one.

I'm writing a short paper about the MSG theater event for my music class.
"Was there anything different about this event compared to other music events?"

Don't coerce him to taking an L with the rest of us. It can be avoided...
I'm not signing up for Tidal today, but I only want to listen to the officially released album. Is this for real happening? I really want it to be on Spotify badly, that's all I use.

Great post Lundz. Like I said before, your tastes and mine line up pretty well. Yeezus was definitely a grower for me, so give it a couple more listens. When Blood on the Leaves really hits you, you know just how fantastic it really is.
We really have no idea. It's all wishful thinking tbh.

We don't actually know what is or isn't happening
At the very least, the finished album will probably be up this weekend, and that might be when we'll know what the plans end up being like
I enjoyed your reactions to the albums
I suggest listening to Cruel Summer too, not really a Kanye album but he pretty much directed it too
You can watch the "Runaway" move as well
And yeah, give Yeezus a few more listens, especially one day when you just feel tired of other people or angry

Lundz is one of us
I'll agree if a version of the album comes out with OG Wolves.... the Wolves we have now is not good.
chance not only saved waves but his lines on ULB made it one of the best on the album
Real Friends
Famous
FSMH Pts. 1+2
I really like it all tho. Still feeling this as his best work yet.

You know whats fucked up. In the age of manufactured celebrities, this dude has the balls to publicly admit that he is under debt and stick by what he says. And he's get shit for that. People may not like what he says but damn he keeps it real. I am turning into a full fledged stan bruhs.
Yeah but I won't consider it an official best run til its an official song
Indeed, they warmed my heart :')
even though my album ranking would be almost the opposite of his, lol

Famous and Fade.
Fade is the only track I keep going back to over and over. I should say I legitimately dislike Post Malone as a person and a musician but I love that track so much I can tolerate his corny no swagger having ass.
Everything. I just play it front to back.
I like hearing the varied patchwork of styles.

That Reddit link has a link to Google Drive as well, but I can't download any of the songs and they also don't start playing when I click them.
Father Stretch My Hands pt1 & 2 as of today.
FML, Famous and ULB round out the top 5.
In no order my tops are:
Real Friends
30 Hours
Ultralight Beam
Father Stretch My Hands Pt1.& Pt.2
Wolves
I Love Kanye

Honestly, it's kinda hard to make a top list without having to cut off some tracks I really like.
There's a re-up on the reddit link.
He worded it weird. He's not in debt we've got tmz speaking with his camp saying that's just how much personal money he's invested in his ventures and he's also said this while papps were blinding him with cameras and asking questions.
Welcome to the church of yeezus
Now you gotta find some of his less well known songs (look for the fan made good Friday album. Back during the road to MBDTF release he put out like 20 songs a bunch of weekends that year. It's technically not pirating since he gave them out for free, but I digress) and definitely definitely check out his music videos. A lot of them are awesome.
Run the Jewels 1 & 2 by Run the Jewels
Heavy Hearted in Doldrums by Antwon
Big Grams by Big Grams
Because the Internet by Childish Gambino
But You Caint Use My Phone by Erykah Badu (Those of you thirsty for a new Andre 3000 should check this out)
I think iTunes updates around that time or something
Lundz I don't know if its been mentioned, but Kanye produced most of Common's album 'Be' and that stuff is really good.
Check it out if you can.
