    7/10. He has a lot of quotable lines throughout, but a lot of his verses really miss in general. I think Violent Crimes is amazing tho. I'm so happy he addressed the Tristian Thompson s--- haha.

    It’s either a 7 or an 8. I’m leaning towards 8 though.

    6/10. Pretty weak album by Kanye’s standards.

    Yikes, Ghost Town and Violent Crimes are the only tracks with any replay value.

    No where near the level of anything up to and including Yeezus.

    Disappointing when compares to daytona, I reckon its only half as good as that. About 5/10 for me atm.. Push rapped for the entirety of daytona so 7 tracks was filling. There was a lot more down time on YE which left me hungry.

    6.27 is the average rating based on 55 votes (first impression)

    Let's see how this is after it sunk in more.

    Will it go down even more or does it age better after more listens?
