    would have had a better impact coming after ULB tbh

    FSMH is too choppy as the second song with each song being only 2 minutes ... also doesn't make sense that "highlights" is the turning point in the middle of the album but then u get back to dark vibes the whole rest of the album ....

    alright so now that I've got ur attention, here's how the tracklist shudda been ... all the songs that shud be there are there the order just doesn't play perfectly like a kanye album should ...

    case in point the f---ing trackless itself was changed 5 times in the past couple weeks, jus think y'all, waves was third after FSMH a couple weeks ago, now its towards the end of the album, this just shows there was not much rhyme or reason to the ay this whole thing was done

    if we had to wait a couple more days the tracklist probably wood have been changed again (prolly for the better) ...

    so here's how it shuda gone

    1. ULB
    2. Lowlights (bit shorter)/Highlights
    3. I Love Kanye
    (YES this needs to be here, this s--- is great, has a better impact early in the album ... and then u are in for shock when u think he misses the old kanye who was humble, he ...)
    4. Famous (after thinking u will get an old kanye, positive album u get "i made that b---- famous")
    5. FML (kanye decided to f--- his life up by bringing back up the taylor thing, this has to b at the beginning of album also)
    6. Freestyle 4 (although it shud have a different title and be a full song with a travis verse cause its a great song but too short)
    7. Father Stretch My Hands (middle of the album where it shud be, turning point, not opener, I'm telling y'all wud have better impact)
    8. Waves (coming after FSMH part 2, starts with kanye rapping like trap music)
    9. Fade (this needs to be in the meat of the album, shame its on the "bonus disc")
    10. Feedback (this has a better impact here too, just a little break before getting to the last emotional part of the album)
    11. 30 Hours (this too should b on regular, especially with "Feat Andre 3000" - actually a very good transition after feedback believe it or not, we get back to the emotional last 3 songs in a great way)
    12. Real Friends (please take away those ad-libs, they are unnecessary)
    13. Wolves (please back to go version with Vic and Sia + Frank outro to end album)

    Bonus:
    1.NMPILA (not deserving to b on standard but a good bonus
    if he wants can put Facts, All Day and Only One as well, but now it is more clear that these are bonuses

    I just turned a 8 song cluster f--- into a clean concise certified 13 song classic, and all i did was change the order (and cut facts)

    holy f--- how did i even do that

    smh kanye really shud have thought through this tracklist cause it really cud been a classic like this

    yo you ruined act 3 by breaking up the FML, REAL FRIENDS, WOLVES run.

    i see you added a story but this album doesn't try to be that. it runs like a play would as @BigCountry put it

    FML/RF/Wolves run is essential.

    it's kind of cool how he used FML as a response to Famous.

    but yeah we went over that response with MBDTF already :useyourhead:

    they naturally flow together, it's the wind down of the album. all 3 of those joints are sonically similar, and bring the album down in to that last frank ocean outro.

    there are sonic consistencies in each act.

    i keep finding more smooth things about the transitions in my tracklist too ... Freestyle 4 ending with travis is a great transition to FSMH

    FS4, FSMH, Waves is kind of like the trap-inspired portion of the album :khaled:

    I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING THO ...

    maybe the whole album release/roll out was such a mess and there were tracklist changes because kanye was sending us a message to all make our own version of the album :khaled:

    @Mike Tyson thats a vintage JB post right there hahaha :drakelaugh2:
