    I like the album on first listen. Its a solid mesh of his career in a way. I don't look for lyrical content with Kanye but he has a few lines I did enjoy. I think the features elevate the album.

    I love it! It just a step below pusha t using a picture of Drake in blackface.

    I think that's the most I've enjoyed Kanye first listen in four albums

    but all his albums improve over time to me and I don't think this one will as much

    Kanye reportedly has a weird obsession with 7 right now. He lobbied hard to cut Pusha's album to 7 songs. The album he executively produced for Nas is 7 songs and his album is 7 songs. There are rumors that once they are all released, the 5 GOOD Music albums currently being released will have somehow linked but we will see

    Yikes is the star of the show for me. I like a lot of the album but I can tell that in a year, that will be the song I go back to

    Yikes is fire. The rest is just ok.

    2nd worst album of his in front of 808s. And 7 songs is wack as fuck.

    wasn't particularly inspired by it. Will listen again later tonight.

    7 songs is too short for Ye. It was right for Pusha, but not Ye

    It’s alright. Of course it’ll grow more over time. I can’t really take anything socially conscious he says from here forward all too seriously, unfortunately.

    Russell Simmons got me-too’d made me chuckle.

    #1 after the jokingly homicidal spoken word was solid, gave me that yeezus industrial sound vibe and the flow sounded like confident swaggering Ye. Yikes and All Mine were fine.
    Least favorite Kanye album ever but as long as he delivers on The Cudi and Nas projects like he did w/ Daytona I’ll be happy

    #1 was much more suicidal than homicidal for me. The album cover talks about Bi-polar and I heard "you" as Kanye talking to Kanye.

    This was a step in a different direction for Kanye at obviously a troubled time in his life/mental state but I really enjoyed the rawness of it. Not grandiose like MBDTF, Yeezus and TLOP but markedly different and a peek inside what's going on with him right now.
