    To be honest there are only 4 songs that I really like going back to... Selah, Follow God, Closed on Sunday and Use This Gospel. The Sunday Service group make each song so much better I wish they were more involved with the album.

    As for my rankings;

    1// Yeezus
    2// 808s & Heartbreak
    3// My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
    4// College Dropout
    5// The Life of Pablo
    6// Graduation
    7// Late Registration
    8// Jesus Is King
    9// Ye

    I always felt Graduation was underrated. It's a bit more "Poppy" and maybe that's why fans don't appreciate it as much but it's definitely one of my personal favourites.

    There might be some nostalgia of that time period as well, but man. It has one, if not the best Kanye song.



    Not to mention


    And a few other great tracks.

    So I’ve given this at least 20 spins and I was wrong...this is easily his best album. So cohesive and love the message. I’m really digging this album and stripping back the layers really exposes a new Christian Kanye that is just absolutely beautiful. 10/10 instant classic imo. Might be better than revival tbh, time will tell but g.d. it’s god like (no pun intended)

    guess I just disagree with the implication that "purposeful" is inherently better. And to go further, not sure I agree that TLOP didn't have a purpose.

    I mean, Jesus Is King is "complete" in the sense that....he talks about the same stuff on every song, and there aren't any glaring unfinished bits. I don't think that makes it any less undercooked. I still got the sense that these songs ended too soon, without anything ever really happening (and contrary to my original post, I have listened to this album a few more times). Do any of these songs really GO anywhere? Certainly not in the way that, like, ULB or Real Friends or No More Parties In LA or Father Stretch My Hands or FML or Famous did. Not even in the way that Ghost Town did!

    i dunno if its better. just think its tighter and more purposeful than tlop, which by design was incomplete and scattered. that was the first kanye album i felt truly underwhelmed by, so i think having it in concert w this/ye is more than appropriate.

    Arrogant? First, you started coming at me everywhere for no reason. Second, stop derailing every thread, really. It's getting annoying for everybody.

    I listened JIK like 10 times and the album is growing on me.
    like i said in my first listen, Kanye still have it but i just don’t feel some of his lyrics.
    This is definitely better than Ye.
