    1. Ultralight Beam: Where do I begin? I truly believe this track has dethroned "Dark Fantasy" for best opener... If you don't get chills when choir hits.... Man, you're a lost soul. 10/10

    2. Father Stretch My Hands Pt.1 & 2: BEAUTIFUL MORNIN'!!!! [​IMG] Aw man, instrumental's glorious on this track. Metro n' Ye really outdid themselves on this one. Only gripes I have with this track obviously's the "Bleach a------" Line & The Metro tags. Like, why would you start your verse with that s---? lol. s--- still slaps though. 9/10

    3. Famous: Yo, Swizz can let the beat rock any day of the week. This is probably the most "Hip-hop" track on here. It's sus af that he actually contacted Taylor to see if it was okay to put out. Anyway's, the outro [​IMG] Ye never disappoints. 9.5/10

    4.Feedback: Ayyyy you heard bout' the good neeeeeewws? Look man, this is that club s--- right here. Would be hella' surprised if he doesn't push this out as an single. 9/10

    5.Low Lights/Highlights: Low Light's a dope lil' interlude. Hella' inspirational, makes me appreciate all that the lord's blessed me with. Highlights is a nice lil' track too. Has some questionable lines but hey, s--- slaps. 8/10

    6.Freestyle 4: Gonna get some hate, but I thought this was the weakest track on here. s---'s too short to actually get anything outta' it. 6/10

    7.I Love Kanye: Love this s---! It's... So Kanye: 9/10

    8.Waves: Thank you Chance! 9.5/10

    9.FML: Bruh, prob one of the highlights off the album. Ye n' The Weeknd = Match made in Heaven! [​IMG] Easily one of (if not) the best tracks on here.

    10. Fade: Now I know some of y'all are thinking "Wait, Fade's the last track on the album... Wtf?" Listen, I'm just going by how the album was supposed to be sequenced. Having "Wolves" & "Real Friends" ahead didn't seem right... Sooo Yeah. Anyway's, s---'s glorious in the whip. The baseline's legendary. 9.8/10

    11.30 Hours: Vintage Kanye right here. Love this track even though I really wasn't f---ing with the ending. How you gonna say "3 Stack, help me out" and not expect me to think Andre's about to rip the s--- up? You tickling my balls Ye, not cool. 8/10

    12.NMPILA: Still a dope track, should've taken out the lil' "Swish" at the end though. 9/10

    13.Facts: Charlie Heat saved that song... Instrumental's next level. Too bad it doesn't make up for the cornball lyrics. The placement's off as well. 7/10

    14.Real Friends: Still hits hard [​IMG] 9.5/10

    15.Wolves: Man, s---'s still a beautiful track. This is the only way how you should close out the album fam. P.s. can one of y'all hmu with the CDQ of Vic's & Sia's version? that would bring this to a new level. 9/10

    Overall, it was worth the wait. Ye delivered us another classic (imo) 9/10

    I don't know how you can call an album a "classic" on the day of release but okay :ummmm:

    The way @Mike Tyson told me to listen to it. It's waaaay more cohesive from a sonic standpoint.

    A critic that judges an album the day next to it release is already a bad critic

    This album needs more time, I'm hoping it's a grower but so far it's not done much for me
