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

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.

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

The abrupt ending is weird

Nah, it would be a lot better if it was, I think :(

lol im interested in this solely for the bad theology

― i'm not a government man; i'm a government, man. (m bison),

^^^^^

only things i got from it were 1. god is great because god made kanye great, 2. god is great because he lets people break addictions. i wasn't expecting much -- it's music not a sermon -- but i got even less.

figured i should try this so here's a single spin response:

every hour - first 25 seconds: hey, it's old kanye! // remaining 80 seconds: um, so i guess he's not gonna do anything except chipmunk this up huh.

selah - if this were lower-fi and kanye had to do this in his spare bedroom with protools, this might be sorta interesting outsider art? as it is, just a lot of bombast punctuated by angry subway dude rambling until he hyperventilates

follow god - nice production, terrible mix; put a competent rapper on this and you might have something. i liked it when he went YAAAAAAAGH

closed on sunday - a dark gritty reboot of 'teddybear's picnic' that includes the recurring lyric "closed on sunday / you're my chick-fil-a" // kanye playing at I'm-a-grown-ass-man profundity has generally offered terrible returns

on god - the sound of a man freestyling while playing three video games at once

everything we need - this is not good

water - this would've been okay as an interstitial right up until the part where kanye starts saying jeZUS over and over and then i saw that i was only halfway through the song

god is - this would be fine as end credit music for some sort of religious romance drama if it had more than one idea going on. some real egregious musical choices for the last minute, like keeping the last minute. NB: right around here is when my attention started wandering seriously.

hands on - this is terrible, listen to this from fred hammond instead.

snoop's Bible of Love is WAYYYYY better than this EP and, at nearly five time the length, goes much faster.
alright i guess i have to go back to the end of this thing huh.

use this gospel - kanye clearly didn't properly close the car door one night when he was badly fucked up and took his resulting revelations as universal but oh my god all i can hear here is CLOSE THE FUCKING CAR DOOR. what a waste of a reunited clipse; the kenny g sax solo is unnecessary. ClOsE tHe FuCkInG cAr DoOr

jesus is lord - lol you have to be kidding me here

in conclusion "feels longer than 27 minutes" is completely otm. I don't think any of these songs are going to merit a second spin from me ever again.

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

new board description pls

ten seconds of ty dolla singing the chorus to hot girl summer blows this out the water

*of

at least this mixing/mastering precludes any blue vinyl audio quality debate.

bout to tear it up on the treadmill while playing this

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

https://www.tmz.com/2021/07/24/kanye-west-hunkers-down-mercedes-benz-stadium-finish-donda-album/

Living in the venue, you say? Masked, you say? Kanye is going full phantom
https://imaging.broadway.com/images/ipad-show-list-photo/w1470/102183-32.jpg

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
