Yeezus is better in every way. The mediocre lyrics on Yeezus kind of fit with the abrasive sound. Yeezus was actually cohesive while this kind of feels like a mess. I still like TLOP quite a bit but my early impression is that this is his worst solo album.

Wtf you listening to?? This is hundreds of times more cohesive than Yeezus, the atmosphere is consistent and the mood changes are a lot more gradual

The only thing that made Yeezus cohesive was how lacking in cohesion it was, it was exactly that what made it make sense in its own twisted way

To me, this album feels like one big identity crisis. Sometimes it sounds like the gospel album he said it was going to be, other times a song will feel like it could've fit on Yeezus, and then it'll sound like he's trying to go back to the CD/LR days. Yeezus was abrasive and experimental all the way through.

I mean from acidic house synths of On Sight to the huge, almost tribal-ish drums of Black Skinhead or the soulful singing and reverb synth baths of Guilt Trip to the screetchy thumping beat of Send It Up... All of those are huge mood and sonical jumps, but in their own strange way they work

yeah, and in many ways it was his Downward Spiral. the only song that didn't fit was bound 2, otherwise it definitely maintained that dark, gritty atmosphere. this album is all over the place. 808s, mbdtf, and yeezus all thrown into a blender

His SNL performance wasn't particularly impressive. It was pretty shit really.

FML is amazing, however. That, Real Friends, Wolves and No More Parties in LA are my favorite tracks on the album.

FML, Real Friends, 30 Hours and No More Parties are all fantastic. Did anyone else think Waves was fucking awful though? Sounded like something Rick Ross or DJ Khaled would put on their album. Why Chance thought it would be a good idea to delay the album to put that song on, I have no idea.
