[Dragun619]

[rdrr gnr]

Blood is just some 808 b-side.

Spoiler

I like it.

 

[Knux-Future]

well shit.

I think every song is good now.

the hell is going on....

The screams on I am God is still lame...I'll just move on as it reaches the end then..

Send it Up makes me want to punch a wall...shit bangs.

First 3 tracks and Blood on the Leaves if Enzo's list is correct.

Agreed with this, I would like it a lot more without them.

Also, am I the only one who kinda sorta doesn't like the outro on New Slaves? I feel like the beat and verses are so raw and hard and then it goes into this Frank Ocean singing stuff...I almost wish it was a separate track or something.

 

[Knux-Future]

never doubt yeezus

This album is weird..

I went from "I don't know guys" to "well I guess it's not so bad" to " FUCK YEAH SON".

 

[Kwixotik]

.......wtf is like songs change on each listen....

what is even

I can't handle this right now guys

Your ears are learning and yeezys teaching them

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Man iTunes should just stream it like they did for Daft Punk. I want to listen on my way home...

 

[victreeb3l]

This album is better than RAM. Just saying.

Or at least the daft punk produced tracks on this are way better.

different genres, but both RAM and yeezus well exceeded my expectations. couldnt be happier with both

 

[FormallyFamicom]

I'm not ready to rank this against the rest of his work. I need like...another 6-12 months before I can even figure this out.

 

[EloquentM]

I LOVE how he starts gasping "GAWD" at the end of black skinhead.

 

[Gorillaz]

Just finaly sat through the album....yea this will considered 808's part 2 expecting mixed impression

 

[Heel]

Those poplar trees, yo.

 

[pakkit]

stop being reasonable and pretend you can accurately gauge the worth of an album at first glance.

 

[MThanded]

No coincidence this showed up on Good Friday.

 

[Fjordson]

Which ones are they?

I feel On Sight is...

On Sight, I Am A God, Black Skinhead, Send It Up I think.

 

[spock]

People don't really understand how ambitious this ish really is in that its a mainstream bigger budget album that tackles all the aspects of the underground that scares the average mcdonalds rap listener. I expect people to throw their preorders away, never listen to them again. This shit is too raw for them. I don't even give a fuck about the half baked message of this album. Sonically though, it's undeniably POWERFUL whether you like it or not. I haven't internalized a single lyric from this joint.

I salute Kanye for not only making a great album but trolling the fuck out of old dusty heads. Thabiz probably fuming right now.

On point. I'm curious to how this is going to be receptive. Kudos Kanye willing to go where he did with the album. Other have sorta tried but never got the balance right, which I think he did. Feels like its opening things up abit without crossing the point to where things get corny.

yea i could be down for this, seems pretty good. I think graduation is underrated as hell though.

You wear your pretentiousness on your sleeve don't you? Just for the record I really liked my first listen through

 

[Syph Medwes]

Won't be able to make a song list for at least a week. C'mon fam you gotta let it linger for a bit.
On Sight is an early standout though.
Really diggin Blood on the Leaves, reminds me of 808s. Bound 2 is also good. And Hold my Liquor is fine, at the very least Keef didn't ruin the song, he was actually used fine.


edit: also great post by Esch, and I agree, people won't be ready. They'll either love it or hate it.

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

So Kanye is probably changing up these songs on tuesday huh

 

[MThanded]

 

[Tokubetsu]

We coulda been somebodddddy~

RIP Molly

 

[Gorillaz]

So Kanye is probably changing up these songs on tuesday huh

of course he is lol

 

[spock]

Check out El P's twitter.

El is right in that its not new new, but Ye hit a balance with his sound that is kind of new or more digestible I should say.

 

[rdrr gnr]

Damn. First impressions are disappointing. I've had Like Clockwork on repeat for days. Want something new and I'm not sure this is going to do it. I feel like this type of sound is over Ye's head and his features/samples aren't able to backpack the rest of the album. I'll give it a few more listens later.

 

[enzo_gt]

Lossless of this shit bangs.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

El-P tellin it like it is.

 

[Natiko]

Got off work earlier and gave my first listen while driving around. Shit goes so hard.

 

[Kentpaul]

so good, me and my drinking buddy cant handle the awsome
