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

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

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

may jesus run with thee

kinda surprised by how many times i thought 'this might have been a cool musical idea if it was fleshed it out a bit instead of on this album' (maybe 3 or 4 times) but it still generally ranges from 'bad' to 'extremely terrible'

Hot trash fam.

Better than YE tho

7.2 album

kanyetothe.com is the best

My wife’s boss was at the Kimmel taping last night and Kanye was the surprise guest. Apparently he was a total ass and offended any none Christians in the room.

funny, the album says something about Christians hating him the most.

Album had some nice guest spots. I also liked the end of that one song where he said to his dad HAUUNNNGH

Kanye without corny misogynist negging makes it his best.

First listen: Like the last one, this feels sketchy and rushed. Simply, it's not good music. There's nothing interesting happening here, sonically or lyrically.

Wild to me how Kanye has gone from one of my favourite artists of all time to someone whose new music I know I will dislike before I even listen to it in the span of just 2 years.

re: rym they still like it more than this year's great chance album, which lol

saw this was released in the local movie theatre but it was only 38 minutes long?!

what was it, just a video version of the album?

Odds are that this thread is better than the album could ever hope to be (and this thread has made me chuckle a few times, which was sorely needed today tbh)

may jesus run with thee

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
