Love the album, now if there were only a way to get those Yeezy Boost 350 to go with it.... The difficulty to get these is ust plain dumb.

Yeah, it must have played cached versions on Tidal while the Spotify version was the new.

I prefer the old version. It was my favorite track, new version is so all over the place, don't like the sia part, don't like the crunching sound added, don't like the new mix.... it's all over the place.

Well, can't please everybody. A ton of people were begging for him to fix wolves and add Sia. I love the new version

And people need to stop asking for Saint Pablo. It still counts as illegally sharing music and will lock this thread

After finally listening to this album..

I can't say there's a song that really stuck with me, maybe aside from no more parties in L.A. I have no desire to even listen again.

I'm really disappointed. Does this album get better with repeat listens?

Try the order I put up above. The songs are great, it's just that the track order ruins the quality overall.

You'll come around by your third listen imo.

Alright, now that I have had more time with the album it is definitely better than my initial impression. Ultralight Beam, Real Friends, Wolves, No More Parties in LA, Frank's Track, Pt2 are all really good and the album mostly has a good flow from one track to the next and one idea to the next. It does sound sparser than MBDTF and Yeezus but that's not really a bad thing.

Being listening to all of Kanye's old stuff lately since TLOP came out, and man, MBDTF is perfection. Not a single fault with that album, no matter how many times I listen to it from beginning to end I never get sick of it.

TLOP is great, but I can't imagine Kanye ever topping MBDTF at this point.
 
I wonder if he's fixing the iTunes version. I can't access them in my playlist, but I can listen to them in the top 100. Weird.

Also, I've been seeing people receive shipping confirmations for the MSG ticket hoodies. I still haven't gotten any. :(
 
Since my Apple Music trial ended yesterday, I've finally decided to actually purchase TLOP digitally but I do wish it was physical instead.

In skimming the thread, I know some people were having issues with downloading but wanted to know if anyone since then has had problems getting a download link after purchasing?

Thanks fam.

Remove it from your library and try re-adding it. My songs were randomly greyed out one day, so I removed them, searched for it, and readded it. All good now

It's a modern masterpiece. No one is ever going to touch that album in hip-hop. No one else could ever make something of that scale again in hip-hop.

I think that will have been his best album by FAR. I listened to TLOP one time and hated most of it (don't even have a desire to turn it back on), but I'm hoping it at least improves a little with more listens.

Gunna really have to force myself to do it, though.

Not a bad ranking. Waves is way too low though, and NMPILA is a bit too high. It's worth mentioning that a lot of those tracks were rated on the old versions though, so that isn't an accurate rating of how people on KTT may feel about Feedback 2.0 for example.They'd already ranked up to I Love Kanye when the album actually dropped.

Yeah that's true, but I don't think the ratings would change much apart from Feedback and probably Highlights. Waves gets hate mostly because of Chris Brown. If it was a different singer, I bet it would be closer to a 9.
 
Is there a dedicate spot to listen to old versions of the album?

FINALLY took the plunge and gave Yeezy a $20 for the download and burned that shit to a CD for a full first listen in my car. Initial impressions are positive. So far I only love probably a little less than half of the album outright but I like most of it. Definitely a few head scratching moments though. TLOP's brevity works both for and against it.
 
Majority of this is from streams:

Hot 100:
#34: Famous
#37: Father Stretch My Hands Pt 1
#54: Pt. 2
#67: Ultralight Beam
#71: Waves
#84: FML
#92: Real Friends
#99: Feedback

Bubbling Under Hot 100: (predicts which new records will become chart climbers.)
#1: Wolves
#4: Highlights
#9: Freestyle 4
#14: I Love Kanye
#22: Low Lights

Damn, Desiigner outcharted everything from TLOP. GOAT
 
Hudmo tweeted a Turbo Grafx 16 WIP track list and then deleted it apparently.

Grudge, Clockwork Orange, Saint Pablo and Blacktron are likely on.

Worth More Than My Word says "mixed" I believe, Freestyle (Madlib) with Kendrick, No Model (feat. Pusha T), Golden Era and (something illegible) My Life with Young Thug.

A Madlib produced Freestyle with Kendrick? Oh man, the hype train has started all over again. And yeah, you know Blacktron is gonna be fire just from the title.

I guess this track list means I Feel Like is definitely not gonna be on it, it's a pity that track will be relegated to a leak only die hards will hear.
