    One of the biggest problems of T.L.O.P. to me is that it is not a very cohesive album. I thought that if the tracks were re-sequenced it would make for a much better album. I rearranged my version of the album in my music library to be based off of the original "Waves" tracklist". I personally think it makes the album a much better listen. I straight up removed "Facts" and "Low Lights". Here is how my tracklist is arranged:

    1.) Famous
    2.) Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1
    3.) Pt. 2
    4.) Waves
    5.) Silver Surfer Intermission
    6.) Feedback
    7.) Highlights
    8.) I Love Kanye
    9.) 30 Hours (G.O.O.D. Friday/Soundcloud Version to remove reference to being a bonus track)
    10.) No More Parties in LA
    11.) Freestyle 4
    12.) Fade
    13.) FML
    14.) Real Friends
    15.) Wolves
    *BONUS TRACK* - Ultralight Beams

    Did anyone else rearrange your tracklists? If so, what do yours look like? I think my rearrangement took this album from just good to great for me personally, so I'm curious to see if anyone else did the same.

    P.S. This is my first post on this site, but I was a member of Studio Leaks before that folded, I just never got around to creating an account for this site till now

    yes this is mine

    Light Gospel Section to Open:
    1. ULB 2. Lowlights/Highlights 3. I Love Kanye
    you need more gospel vibes after ULB thats why lowlights/highlights is perfect here ... i really like highlights btw, know some people not feeling that one but i cud see it being a hit ... this is similar to having kernel sermon skit second on born sinner, i think it does a good job letting u take in the greatness of ULB ... and then I love Kanye more positive ... and u think the album is going to be all positive but then u get the dark section next which is more reminiscent of Yeezus

    Dark Section:
    4 Famous 5. FML 6. Freestyle 4
    the transition from the outro of famous to FML is GOAT btw, and then same thing from the weird dark outro of FML to the dark vibes of Freestyle 4, just perfect ...

    Then Kanye Redemption:
    7. Father Stretch My Hands 1/2 8. Waves 9. Fade
    this section is great and makes FSMH more poignant than being right after ULB imo, plus he talks about liberation on FSMH, and then waves "bird in a cage" line, then Fade after Waves is great, they're very similar conceptually ... and waves ends with fading vocals, which fade of course starts with, theres just so many things telling me this is how the album shoulda been ordered

    Then Lyrical and Emotional Final Portion
    10. Feedback 11. 30 Hours 12. Real Friends 13. Wolves

    :rejoice:

    yeah, i usually don't either. but to me personally, the sequence of this album felt very disjointed to me; so I chose to do some revising. even though it contains the same songs, i feel like it makes for a more enjoyable listen.
