man...this album man.... I know its divisive but its almost up there with 808s for me. I love 808s the most out of all the albums but I don't listen to it much. this album, this album would get much play from me front to back. the only songs I could see myself listening to by themself are the ones ye already chose plus on sight.

I agree.
I hate Keef but I love him on Hold My Liquor. Track wouldn't be the same without him on it.
should have just brought in MC Ride.

The yelpy screams on the CD version of Black Skinhead give it a more playfully sinister vibe, rather than out and out anger. I like both performances.
Yes please.
Yes please.
Right. It would have been good.
Agreed. SNl blackskinhead is hype as fuck.
dunno if i want kanye to get that intense, haha
you will be disappointed.
Face it Tiger..

HOLY SHIT, I'M BOUT TO EAT!
I'm surprised, considering Cold Summer never saw the light of day.

If you want old kanye all you are getting is one track. If you want a good album it is here for the taking.
if you like progression in mainstream hip-hop you'll love it.

just finished it
I need some time to let it sink in
this is me at the end of hold my liquor
The screaming at the end of I Am God sounds awesome, the way it's mixed in
I really wanna pump this album through speakers but it's 8:30am in Aus and I'm in an apartment D: Will have to wait until mid day.
Sounded amazing through my M50s though so I'm not missing out at least.

yeah when those first kicked in i was like "damn". and then later in the track when they become isolated... so good
i love how it feels like it's constantly moving and building
turn it up high on a good system and say the same thing
you've been saying this for the last few post care to give a reason? this is very minimalist compared to dark fantasy. dark fantasy was over indulgent and over produced to me. this cuts all of the fat and isn't trying to appeal to awards shows.

MBDTF was like horrible. Only Ye album I don't actively listen to.
i love both for different reasons. they're like polar opposites, so it's tough to even compare.
Hahahah. No. MBTF was too over produced and lavish for me, still a good album though but I prefer how agressive, minimalist and dark this album is. Shit is amazing.

Man, I thought it was alright at launch but now that i've had time to process it I only really come back to like 4-5 songs at most. Some stuff on there I can relate to, but so far this has made a far better first impression and that, to me, bodes well for its longevity.

yo seriously. loved this song since i first heard it.
and then in yeezus when they bust this sample out in full halfway through, i just had to stand up haha. i felt like punching something.
This. MBTDF was an incoherent ass mess.

my biggest complaint is that its too short. i wish it had one or two more songs, its over way too quick 
i didnt like i am a god at first but im coming around to it. been a long time where i liked just about every damn song in an album.
man im glad im not the only one that thought about rainbow road during that segment lol *high five*

yeah it could be a bit longer. maybe just extended songs and such rather than new tracks. i feel like I Am God could have had a late-song change up or something, right after the screaming. Same with Send It Up, which is an awesome beat which feels over too soon. It might just be me, but I like when songs reach some huge climax at the end haha
Hah, I did the same thing, just on I Am A God. That's dat cyberpunk/gothic/heavenly shit right there.

speaking on on sight, that sample is too damn good to just be randomly inserted in that song. wish he did something more with it!
I think Kanye's the best when his tracks are overproduced -- at least recently. Trimming the fat only works when the fat has something to surround. I think when you begin to strip down Kanye in 2013 you find something rather shallow. Other posters have been arguing for some type of ideological coherence to this album, yet it comes across as a novelty. It's not a clarion call; it's noise. Plus, none of the features or samples are doing anything for me aside from maybe two or three tracks tops; whereas, I loved almost every track on Dark Fantasy.
I agree it's too much cutting but imo dark fantasy was too much bloat. Hopefully on the next album its perfectly balanced.

oh man that sample going into "goooo" is so dope. i wish i was there
that and the sample from on sight should have gotten full track treatment. too good
