    I think Come To Life is the best song. A 10.

    I think Kanye has another classic in him next album.
    Heading the right direction now.
    This album a bit too clustered. Great to hear 4 min songs though in 2021.

    finally pruned this down to 14 tracks and it would have been a fire drop without all the antics and really focused down to a regular LP size.

    Drop interludes, pick the best between part I or II and drop the weak tracks, you got a solid 12 -14 tracks, ez. Rollout was dumb, he needs to be more concise with it.

    It's the blessing and curse of the streaming era. When artists were forced to trim down to fit a CD, you got the best of the best ...

    It's all for the streams. Albums have been too long since streams became important

    I thought it was her, the background vocals at the end with Ye, it does sound like Ari. HipHopNMore changed it, they just thought it was her

    This. The main problem with his latest work. Plus, 27 songs ? Wtf. And half of them are bunch of fillers or full of filler lines, instrumentals etc. This definitely better than JIK and other weak albums he released since TLOP. But I think TLOP is probably still better than this. I wasn't a huge fan of that album, felt something was missing but now when I look back, it was the last album that actually really had Kanye feel to it. Even this album feels unfinished, in progress, if it's finished it's not that Kanye I once knew, it's just like a guy who tries to make music like Kanye, shows potential but yet fails miserably...

    Pretty much this is how I feel—underneath all the bs you can see the pieces of something great but he’s not focused enough to deliver. He should have renamed it at this point.

    I’m gonna end up making my own definitive version which I don’t mind doing but the fact that I basically have to finish his own album for him says it all. I like it and will get decent mileage out of it but I couldn’t put it above anything besides the last two.

    Gonna see if I can Rick Rubin it and cut it down to like 12 songs + see if I can also rearrange it to make it into two discs that flow well
