you scoffed at the notion of reading a pitchfork article and then addressed how you come to your own realizations without the influence of other opinions. call it whatever you want, but it's pretty typical of the sputnik crowd to do and it's super elitist tbh

" freestyle 4 sounds like a rejected yeezus cut"

Interestingly it would be one of the best song on a Yeezus.

"there's no way this is anyway close to a 5 or 4.5 and anybody rating it that highly is fooling themselves"

there's no way Yeezus is anyway better than a 3.5 and anybody rating it higher is fooling themselves

Condescending much?

word



yeezus was a hard 7 to me, this is a hard 8 or 9, but im not gonna get my panties twisted on the internet about anyone preferring one or the other, or simply not even liking them, shit is polarizing to the extreme

Father Stretch My Hands, pt. 1 and pt. 2 (with Future)

Waves (extended)

Highlights

No More Parties in LA

Fade

30 Hours

FML

Real Friends

yeah that was a little condescending. personally if you like this then great, music is subjective and i like some questionable shit. i do think the 4.5s and 5s are a little reactionary though. kanye himself was displeased with this album and is tweaking it now, i think that alone speaks volumes.



"Interestingly it would be one of the best song on a Yeezus"



have you heard yeezus? every song on the album is better than freestyle 4. freestyle 4 is 2 minutes of pretty much nothing

then we arent far off here however i dont really think some on the extra shit weighs this down hard enough to call it a 6 (@arcade)



if i like did reviews and cared about MUHSPUTNIKCREDBRUH id probably give this an objective 8 but i just enjoy it enough and am excited for new ye to jam springsummer 2016 to 9 it

"probably 4.5~5"

So an album that literally contains every single one of those song, albeit in more imperfect (in your opinion) forms, warrants almost half the point to be taken off?

I find it especially interesting that you think Desiigner should be replaced with Future, even though that would make 100% zero difference.

lol, it's all good man. forget i said anything about that, the way you responded sounded pretty haughty, like "if youre suggesting i have even visited pitchfork at any point in the last 4 years you are mistaken. i form my own opinions" as if to seriously suggest you couldn't still form your own opinions by reading their review? came off as a little elitist, my bad. plus you got all mad about my comment regarding yeezus being a thousand times better than this. you took it literally as if you wanted to spur me on or something

for me it'd be:



ultralight beam (even though it's kind of meh)

father

famous

highlights

waves (lengthened and reworked a bit)

fml

real friends

wolves (after he reworks it)

and 30 hours



if he added another solid cut to that and fixed the production on some songs, it would be a 4-4.5 for me

Technical faults and imperfect presentation are probably the only things that are keeping me from 5-ing this. That's what I think he is tweaking. The quality of actual songwriting doesn't deteriorate because of that.

This is in response to somebody else, right? Cause I got confused.

I really like what's on here, but my biggest complaint is that Kanye is often so lyrically lazy now. I still think he's a brilliant guy, but he just doesn't bring the bars like he used to.

Plus, I chucked at the Swift line and the asshole line, but some of the stuff he says and does (like completely mailing in the lyrics for Freestyle 4) feel like obvious and cheap attempts to rile people up. Granted, it works, but its value to me is musically limited at best.

"with the real deal"
Hmmm.... the impression is actually so NOT terrible, that its better than the original has sounded in a year-or-two

"yes, because they're not in that order on this album, and most of the songs between them are shit"

Damn, well I guess then I should cut my grade of TPAB to like a 2.5 then.
