    In all seriousness though, it’s a little annoying seeing critics act up over Kanye releases as much as they do (not that Ye has ever really helped himself get on their good side).

    Even if you hate the man and think half of this album is complete garbage, that still leaves 12ish 8+/10 tracks, which is more lasting material than we’ve seen from any album since Culture 2.

    I don't like this album at all, only 2 songs I kinda like are Jail cause of Hov and that track with Griselda.

    I am after the first listen, and... Jeez, I am not sure what to think. It is so long but I guess it doesn't matter in this era. You definitely can't listen to it as a whole album but whatever. I probably will end up liking a large part of this project but... for the most part Kanye's singing on this seems so uninspired, just like Drake's records. I would even daresay that he kind of tries to mimic Drake's style here. It's too mellow and bland to me. A kind of singing along you can do while in the shower. One thing for sure: Jail, God Breathed, No Child Left Behind are amazing. I expect a lot of other tracks to grow on me, though.

    lmao this gives me hope that he cant help it and will slowly move away from the preachy s---. He cursed a few more times in the album i think, plus the text to Drake was not christlike either

    The album is getting unfairly sh---ed on. Guess Kayne isn't the critics favourite anymore.

    Being the the critics favourite is as bad as being sh---ed on from them. Just accept that this s--- isn‘t that good

    Sure... it's the critics having a grudge against Kanye. And not the barebones production or the bloated track list...

    Griselda track is literally one of the worst songs on the album and is one of the ones that should’ve been cut
