Multiple sources tell Billboard that Def Jam and UMG are working closely with West on ­several possible release strategies and that a physical version is due, perhaps as a deluxe ­edition or a bundle with another West product. "It would be crazy for him not to release it on CD," says Trans World Entertainment divisional ­merchandise manager/vp music and new media Ish Cuebas. "That would be a big title for us; he's right in the sweet spot for our customers."

Then, within hours of its ­posting, Pablo was pulled from his site. Sources claim West was unhappy with the final masters.

Even when somebody go away (turn it up!)
The feelings don't really go away
That's just the wave (yeah)

Heh, yeah!

Ok just finished my first listen:
ULB
Highlights
Waves
FML
Wolves
Facts
Fade

These all stood out to me. Need to give it a few more listens, the other tracks were kind of hit and miss for me.

 

[Baroquemantic]

There is still hope!

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

Ready to take another L, shit is stupid, I've got like 20x tabs open on 3 devices

when it comes to adc, word of advice, only one tab per device.

 

[SyenceLabb]

The sneaker game is so retarded.

 

[Kyzer]

Album is seriously growing on me.

Fade and Feedback sound like Yeezus tracks

 

[robotrock]

This was my first time participating in a dumb shoe release and I'll never do it again. The most needlessly stressful last twelve hours of my life. I didn't even get the shoes.

The key is to not expecting to get the shoes. Makes it a much more manageable and even humorous process.

I've done it 4 times with Js and Yeezys, haven't gotten a single pair, but I've enjoyed the experience, in a perverse way.

My friend got in queue 5 minutes ago and just copped a pair.

 

[entremet]

Kanye basically released a beta version of the album lol.

Blazing trails, Yeezy.

Just give me a version I could own. Digital or physical. I don't care. I don't want to rent it.

EXACTLY....

with that said, Js are 100x easier to get than Yeezys...7/10 i get the Js I want (in fact, I usually am able to get 2 pair). I beat the stupid bots everytime almost.

but yeezys....Damn, that shit is hard

 

[robotrock]

I'm a broken man

 

[reKon]

i've been waiting the whole fucking night in the rain only to get no yeezys in the end

went camping with two friends, we arrived at 3 pm and we were already 72-74 in the queue

we were assured there would be 80 pair

this morning at 8 am when we thought we were finally getting it they only had 70 pair for sale

fuck this shit i'm pissed off we waited 17 fucking hours for fucking nothing

wow, I can't imagine

 

[mckmas8808]

Posted earlier.

On Wolves what's the lady's name on the track that sorta sounds like Rihanna?

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

I'm a broken man

imagine waiting at a raffle at dtlr for over 6 hours for these...

with close to 700 people there, and they call the ticket of the person who was right in front of you.....

yea....THAT sucked

 

[Ashhong]

What the hell.

 

[mckmas8808]

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.

This is why it's SOOOO hard for me to rank MBDTF, because my mind is clouded with the 10 Good Friday songs that I loved as I added them to my personal MBDTF playlist album. It's his best collection of work that he's ever done over a short period of time.

 

[RecRoulette]

Ye should just go all out.

Imagine a limited release of the physical version of TLOP only given out by lottery.

 

[Uno Venova]

Sometimes I forget that CDDF isn't even on twisted fantasy, the song is so perfect its been in my library as part of the album since it came out.

 

[FZZ]

I dream of a future with $100 Yeezys and I can go to any sneaker store and pick them up

Adidas make my dream come true

 

[Stabby McSter]

it's always nice to dream ;-;

 

[enzo_gt]

Billboard reports that a retail executive estimates The Life of Pablo could have done 400k first week with a conventional release.

Also, Ye gonna fix Wolves and spend more time mastering it?

*ye reaching to the sky smiley here*

not much new information. but hopefully he told Mike Dean to wise the fuck up and master his albums properly if he was unhappy.

I'll say this again, I don't see any possible way to mix an album properly while high. Everything sounds good when you're high. the louder the better. do your damn job!

 

[WaffleTaco]

Does anybody think that Kanye will start putting out more work now? It makes sense his longest period without music started when his baby was born, he got married and started having a second one.

Yeah, I really don't understand how people can defend the mastering and mixing. It is sloppy as fuck.

I'm hoping that he really is revisiting it and that is the holdup. This whole situation is bizarre and I can't imagine that Def Jam is very happy.

I don't think anybody has defended it. Well except for Mike Dean himself

 

[Master_Funk]

After listening non stop for a week, I feel like ULB and Real friends will be remembered as the two absolute stand outs for me. Both of those stand toe to toe with Kanye's absolute best. Wolves is so close to joining those, but ye needs those vic and sia vocals added ASAP.

 

[KingKong]

Father Stretch my hands p1 and 2 are probably my favorites

cant think of any track I actually dislike except the interludes. love you Yeezy

 

[bearythebear]

Ha, sounds like record companies are chasing him to get a CD out.

 

[IndustryX]

I could go for another minute of discount future on freestyle 4

Panda panda panda

Man I like him so much better than future, the tone of his voice is better lol

 

[Stabby McSter]

I'm spending the rest of the morning trying to find "cheap" resellers rofls (((

tempted to just cop fakes and call it a day.

On KTT plenty of people have jumped to Dean's defense.

you won't find them. you will find cheap knockoffs tho

 

[Ashhong]

Ah. I don't venture over there anymore. Anybody who defends clipping is just crazy.

madlib flashing a test pressing (though given what most people have said about vinyl masters of previous albums, I don't have much hope this will be properly mastered for vinyl)

 

[mckmas8808]

My friends, can anyone link me the full Wolves SNL performance?

Also, was it really only a 2 minute lip synced song? Nothing wrong with it, just curious.

yes, it's worse
there's some annoying background drums that were added on top of the bass, so the tidal version sounds "weaker" than the original version

What do you mean? Most of his albums have gotten vinyl releases, it was just Yeezus and Graduation that didn't get official releases.

 

[PBY]

Think he's talking about the mastering.

 

[Mr. Doop]

What do you mean? Most of his albums have gotten vinyl releases, it was just Yeezus and Graduation that didn't get official releases.

Yeah, but they've been really hit or miss. His albums range from really good on vinyl (808s and Heatbreak) to absolutely awful (Late Registration)

 

[Veritigo_X]

Ah, gotcha! I've only got MBDTF and it's really good imo.

I've heard very mixed things about the quality of vinyl masters.

I really don't want to have to take another L.
