    Yes, definitely. Like others have said, the only real misstep was Lift Off, and it's frustrating because that had potential to be great.

    How many of you went to the WTT concert? That was up there with the Yeezus tour (which is probably my favorite show I attended). The idea of performing the same song 5-6-7 times in a row sounds ridiculous in theory, but they definitely pulled it off with n----s in Paris.

    It's close enough to a classic album to vote "yes" here. A very very good album, should listen to it again. It's been a while.

    None of those songs appeal to me anymore. I'd take another Yeezus long before WTT2

    Haven't played this one in awhile but it's a classic off the impact it had on the industry. The way it was released, the hype behind it and the mix of styles that in retrospect popularized some trends we're seeing indicates how heavy this was. It had high highs and some painful lows but good enough in my eyes to be considered a noteworthy album in this decade.

    I'd also take Yeezus part 2 over WTT2 simply because I can't see them coming close to topping WTT. Jay has been lazy as of late. But I guess you never know, I didn't expect him to perform so well on WTT. I have much more confidence in Kanye delivering another great Yeezus-like album.
