Get your soul sanctified on the Kanye West JESUS IS KING thread

"Follow God" is bullshit

Truly the Dylan of our age.

1st track is his "all the tired horses". but i'd say it's more of a GBV album, as it sounds like shit and most of the songs are unfinished.

Objectively

Ok I got through this all for the first and last time . This is wack

That was a joke

I enjoy the tracks but there is no objective good and bad

In art. In other domains idk—bigger discussion

"Follow God" is muddled and boring. "Use This Gospel" is asymptotically approaching "objectively bad".

there is no objective good and bad

Dunno how King Jesus feels about that statement.

Jesus didn’t talk a out aesthetics much

He was a writer, he once wrote something in the sand.

Lol RYM hates this actually

I am happy for kanye that he found solace in religion

FP'd you for this

Needs more Killah Priest imo.

Turnin the other cheek to that

This is like actually physically painful to listen to, at least with headphones

I think this is better than his last album? (that I only listened once)

I'm not sure it's particularly hard to top "poopity-scoop"

"Hands On" is pretty painful

it's weird because there are AI mastering sites like landr.com that do a way better job than this that would have cost like $40.

he just did the tracks and left the mastering in the hands of christ

lmaoooo

That's the RYM chart fucked for another year then

2.7 and dropping lmao

ye was a 3.2 for context

just like ye this feels way longer than 27 minutes, please stop singing Mr. West

it is almost delightful watching an entire generation of hipsters and nerds realising they backed the wrong horse

I look forward to Pitchfork's review.

They'll still give it more than Clipping!

Idk i still like it

To my fans
Thank you for being loyal & patient
We are specifically fixing mixes on “Everything We Need” “Follow God” & “Water”
We not going to sleep until this album is out!
10:18 PM - 24 Oct 2019

mustve fallen asleep after all

seems better than ye on first (and probably only) listen

I can't wait for an 'ima fix god' tweet and the whole world burns down because of people who don't get the context.

will that tweet come out before or after the tweets about the inevitably shitty reviews of this that he'll freak out about and start another press cycle over

looking forward to pressing play on this Monday

xp the last 2 Earl Sweatshirt LPs and some other post-Yeezus records have also done the "intentionally peaked levels" thing. People have expectations for everything to sound like Dr. Dre.

I like critiquing stuff with "objectively" because it's lmao. plz dont ruin my fun lol.

This is stupid. Hopefully this marks the end of his barely-trying era.

He should've got into Satan. The record would have been a lot better.

xpost I don't have that expectation in any way shape or form don't be ridiculous

peaked levels are a technique that can be used for good or evil

Waiting for a Exit Through The Gift Shop style doc to come out where he explains that we're the sheep that gave him God status and ate up all the half assed music he put out.

He should've got into Satan. The record would have been a lot better.

otm

Even Milton knew this to be true.

This is a fine little album, though not as good as the last one. That one was more painful, more interesting. This one is not really worth wasting that much time on, though, the cultural machine will soon leave him behind if this is what he does from now on. If this is the length and ambition of the records he is releasing, he should make a lot more than one a year, though.

spending your time in Hidden Hills w/other monstrous, wealthy ppl is probably not good for creativity

whole time I wish I was listening to this album instead, which lets face it was mastered just as well

I read the part that says “KING thread” and got excited. Then I read the rest.

We not going to sleep until this album is out!

The very best way to achieve precise results in a fiddly process that requires close attention is to stay awake for days

can someone who has zoomers in their life tell us what the young folks thing about kanye?

think even

Waiting for a Exit Through The Gift Shop style doc to come out where he explains that we're the sheep that gave him God status and ate up all the half assed music he put out.

never saw it but reading the descriptions, I think you may have nailed it

this whole thing sounds like it was recorded in 2 days during a manic episode

Gap execs must be getting ulcers.

Chinese Dondacracy

He and Lana Del Rey are in a race not to finish and release their new records.

Ffs

Lana Del Rey?

They both missed recent album release deadlines.

LDR has released good albums in the past decade though.

Ok ok Yeezus and KSG were decent I admit it.

The funny thing about that Kanye West Day thing is that the only source of it seems to be someone sending TMZ a pic of a certificate that he was presented backstage – it hasn't been announced or reported in local Atlanta media, etc. It's like they decided to do it on the DL, for his eyes only.

Yeezus was decent but the idea that kids see ghosts was especially interesting in some way is pure RYM brain

I agree but wanted to avoid the pitchforks. Imho Yeezus is the last thing he did worth anyone’s time.

He and Lana Del Rey are in a race not to finish and release their new records.

Speak to me more of this blessed paradise.

yeah i don't get at all why the reddit/rym/fantano etc. axis adores ksg so much, on rym it's got a higher rating than yeezus lol. it's not terrible but it's hardly some kind of masterpiece

lol rym also has ye above watch the throne? come on lol

that's fucking insane

can think of no better place to finish an album

Living in the venue, you say? Masked, you say? Kanye is going full phantom

The phantom of the opera did it first

Lol I see TMZ made that same sort of observation in the article and here I was thinking I had made a good joke.

TMZ did it first.

I have to be honest I find the idea of him living in the stadium hilarious if true.

Do u have Josh muted? lol

Lol when I opened the thread his message was still not posted.

So both TMZ and Josh did it first lol

wtflollllllllll

Honestly this rocks - kanye living in a stadium and wearing the same clothes for days, haven't listened to any of donda, don't know if I will
