    It's arguably the most important album in his whole discography, but its still an experiment with a lot of potential that doesn't feel fully realized. Still seems very hallow.

    @Dew are you listening to TLOP that ends at wolves, or are you listening to the full version

    ends at wolves, but I think either way it still holds

    LR was the peak of his ability as a rapper imo and its does what CD did like 10x better

    yeah but that's the thing, i admit it's a great album but it's also the least compelling.

    everything else has been a marked departure for him, except LR.

    that doesn't mean it's bad, i just feel like it's a CD part 2

    In hindsight I think he could've done a lot more with the orchestra production. That's not a knock on the album because is amazing. We just all know what he is actually capable of.

    That's why I'd like to see him maybe re-tcakle LR and 808s

    nah as good as those tracks are (minus facts, and the album version of fade), they're just too far a departure from what he built from tracks 1 through 14 (frank's track). they completely take the air out of the album.

    i agree that TLOP 1 to 14 is very very good, but where this version successfully walks the line between haphazard and cohesive, the album falls straight in to a blender after frank's track.

    the full version of TLOP is closer to the bottom of his discography than the top. hard to make a case for it really, i'm interested to see what you come up with without making a massive reach or compromise.
