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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
