Where is my preorder doe

Honestly Yeezy.
 
Fade turned into a "Drive fast on a country road at night" song to "I gotta drive slow in front of Walmart because of the crossing old ladies"

Oh come on, I literally JUST downloaded the newer version from the link Tidal emailed me, and now it's already outdated again?

My impressions:

New vocals on Highlights are good, kind of indifferent since all I really want is a finished OG version at this point.

Indifferent about beat change on Freestyle 4.

Kind of liked FML cleaner as it was in the initial release, TBH.

Chance's "No One Can Judge" is unecessary on ULB and makes the song worse. I don't know if it's just how much we've listened to the original already but shit sounds so out of place.

Feedback's beat transition loses all the impact that made it good, but it is also slightly more sinister now.

New vocals are FSMH are cool. Again, kind of indifferent about it because the song sounded good as is.

Line change on Famous is insignificant, but changing shit so insignificant is just annoying. The beat change is less impactful, feels too scratchy.

Overall, IDK what Kanye is doing. Most of these changes are unnecessary and not necessarily for the better, often worse. I think I'm good with my versions for the original release.

Fuck this. Burn it all down, I never wanted TLOP anyway. He just ruined the second best track on the album. I'll stick to the OG. I can't even listen to this shitty version because fuck Tidal.


Edit: I actually can't get over how bad it sounds. Those drums are like the sort of drums someone who's making their very first beat would use. Like they get a kick-ass sample and throw some awful default drums from whatever free program they're using over it.

This is really the never-ending album I thought it was back at first launch date. Since I still have my tidal subscription, I'll listen to it there again.

Never cared for Feedback so that's whatever.

I like the rest of the changes, everything is much cleaner and more "final" sounding

Is the clipping in ULB gone or is it just me? The choir sounds much cleaner

nevermind, the their final lines have some clipping. COME ON KANYE

FSMH part 1 is much better with those little added vocals. Reminds me of Dark Fantasy
 
Everything sounds better

But Fade got violently beaten in a corner and left for dead

Damn it

Just let me buy your album, ye
On a CD if you please
