Kanye West presents Yeezus |OT| #YeezySeason Approaches

- Start date
Has the release been pushed back or what?
Listened through it once last night, gonna wait till the album drops for my next listen.
Holy shit at that sample halfway through On Sight. Ye really doesn't give a fuck.
Disappointing there's no deluxe edition, could have easily done with 2 or 3 extra songs.

hopsin is bafflingly stupid
It wouldn't make any sense for this album to have a deluxe edition.
Either way i would have liked more songs. Doubled edge sword though since it's brevity is part of the album's concept.
It's the leanest albums I've heard in a while yet somehow, to me at least, the length is satisfying.
Black Skinhead on SNL was by far a better cersion of the song.
Keeping the escalting drums throughout the chorus was better.
Replacing the "Just close your eyes and enjoy the crash" lyric with "I would have been blacked out on your ass" makes it way less awesome.
And the whole Hitler theater thing was hilarious. Seeing he took it out means he probably thought the movie was the real events though, which makes the removal super akward.
The end of New Slaves is incredible.

The Best Buy version is advertised as having 14 tracks, though.

The only song I really didn't like was On Sight.
The beat was just too annoying

I feel the same. His screams on the studio version sound weak too
I expected that to happen. Kanyes studio endeavors are always more tamer than live.
I'd love for him to let loose in the studio more. I wonder why he doesn't? It must be deliberate but I've no idea why.
Agreed the SNL lyrics were much better also (no way they were changed because he thought I.B. was real though). Black Skinhead is an amazing song and it's a shame to see the studio version not reach its potential.

I prefer Runaway and Power in studio compared to his live renditions. Black Skinhead sounds a lot more tamer than his SNL version. Same with I Am a God. Since this album goes for the more aggressive/abrasive sound, it's disappointing .
I have no problem at all with this sounding a bit like Saul Williams. I love Saul Williams, NiggyTardust is one of my favorite hip hop records of the last decade.
RIP Retrograde

Listened to it twice yesterday while driving, this albums great when you have the volume turnt up but like around the half way point I started feeling like this album had a lot of connections with 808s and I started to listen to it differently. Really enjoyable!

I LOVE this album.. just turn the speakers all the way up.
The only thing I would've done is moved skinhead to number 8, for differentiating the monotony.
Bound 2 doesn't really belong on the album either.
It's disappointing that this album is so short, but I give it a 10 wubs/10 wubs.

Yeah I really like the album but I feel the first half of the album is much stronger than the second which is a weakness

BOUND 2.
You still not gonna tell me who dat babe in your Avy is.BOUND 2.
I honestly believe that the SNL version is on the same level as Power and Niggas in Paris. It grabs you by the balls and doesn't let you breathe. More I listen to the studio version, the more I am dissapointed.
I never, ever, download rips of songs and put it on my iPhone, but I think I will seek out a good version of that SNL performance...
It's more Danny Brown than Death Grips to be honest.

Bound 2 is awesome until the weird Charlie Wilson parts comes in and it's like WHY.BOUND 2.

Death Grips comparisons are coming from the synths, or at least that's what I think they are coming from.
Yep.

"He'll give us what we need
It may not be what we want"
Absolutely love that change up halfway through On Sight. Glad they went through the trouble of rerecording it.
