    Donda had a bunch of good songs on it but as a whole album it wasn’t very good. It was bloated with too many mediocre songs

    Well, Ye did spend the last few years ruining all his PR. What happened to Kanye is a huge shame because there’s definitely a strong argument to be made that he’s the best musician in hip hop history.

    This s--- sounds pretty good but I'm not surprised because those s-----y AI v1's on YouTube did too.

    He'll never be old Kanye but if he can give me an album on par with Donda (underrated) then I'll be happy.

    I don’t think it’ll even be on par with DONDA, DONDA was actually a good album. Everything he’s put out since has been some of the worst music I’ve heard an artist release period. You can see the nitrous brain rot progress from Vultures 1 to Donda 2

    I only listened to the LP rip once but my immediate thoughts were that it feels kinda jumbled and disjointed, and not in a way that worked in its favor like Pablo. The demo version had a singular vision and sound — this felt like it had a couple competing aesthetics that didn't quite come to fruition and/or fully jive with each other. Since it was an LP and he didn't play all the songs he listed on the track list I won't put too much stock into the sequencing yet cuz I assume it'll be switched around a bit...but that def contributed to the disjointedness for me, tho I'm probably a bit biased cuz I relistened to the demo version a few times the past couple days and have that in my head,

    tldr; seems OK, demo version > LP version as is

    the release version of Donda is such a mess but there's a pretty good Kanye album in there when you trim the fat

    I mostly agree. For me, one of the biggest issues with the current version is the clash between the old songs and the new ones. Aside from Bully, I feel like most of the songs that were on the demo don't really fit with the new sound. Like, a song like Preacher Man sounds jarring when compared to songs like King or Father. The demo had a very personal, minimal sound, so mixing those songs with these new ones sounds off.

    As for sequencing, I think I got used to the demo's order, so this does throw me off a bit, This version feels a bit frontloaded (granted, they skipped like 6 songs apparently), so I'm hoping it gets shuffled a bit.

    yep totally agree, feels like they belong on two different albums—in the past he probably could have figured out how to meld them but I'm doubtful at this point in time
