    Ironically that's the only 5 songs I like on that whole album

    Bound 2 is the only one I like on Yeezus

    I liked 95% of CD
    90% of LR
    80% of Graduation
    90% of MBDTF

    Maybe I need to hear Yeezus and 808s again to refresh my ears; but to me they aren't good albums in general

    808s is a mood album. It's also a seasonal album, I doubt I'd bump it in the summer. It always gets rotation in the fall.

    Yeezus grew on me too, and it's also a mood album. It compliments 808s well in a strange way. It too, is a mood album, it's angry, it's loud...like an opposite of 908s. Still my least favorite Kanye West album but hey, it's still good.

    Yea, I can respect that... I think I'll go through his whole discography this weekend, and refresh my ears

    I pick OP's tracklisting.. but @JFK made a strong case for Yeezus :wow5:

    808s transition are a lil bit more fluent and i love the drony vibe and dynamic range between the songs..

    Yeah Yeezus wins for me, followed by the MBDTF list that starts with So Appalled. Kanye has a ton of great song runs throughout his entire discography tho
