  1. It's middle of the pack Kanye for me which is obviously still very good and there is a lot to love on it.

    Actually no ULB exists it's #1

    This could be my least favorite Kanye record, it would still be a great record.

    It's middle of the pack for me. 808s, fantasy, and yeezus are all better but graduation, lr, and tcd are all worse. it's amazing though and has some of the best songs of his career on it.

    I personally think ULB through Highlights is the strongest run of songs in his entire discography. After that it becomes a little more scattershot in terms of flow. I really like Freestyle 4. Old Kanye is nice but filler. I really like Waves but it's the one song on the record that to me doesn't really fit, it's the least "Kanye" song on maybe all of his albums. FML and RF are 2nd half highlights. Wolves is solid but still probably the weakest track on the album. I still consider everything else as bonus tracks.

    FML and Fade are my two favorites on the record and two of the best ye songs ever.

    I love the song, but Parties is the ONLY song that feels out of place from ULB to Frank's track. I truly feel like it would fit better as one of the tracks after Silver Surfer... but that's ok

    For me..... it just feels musically out of place, it feels like the only throwback song in the middle of a bunch of current-day Kanye tracks

    This album grows more and more on me. I just wish some of the more sporadic ish would have been left off.

    Like. You get a fur, you get a fur...
    I love that track but it loses me completely there.

    Maybe I just don't get it. Or I'm basic. Or both. Maybe I need a fur
     
  15. this album is top three ye for me. Seeing the premiere in theaters meant a lot to me and I love everything but "facts," but that's a bonus track anyways

    It's just a fun and inspiring album and it really does sound like a "celebration of music" to me

    My top two will likely always be MBDTF and CD but third place is where it gets tricky, it's usually the most recent one I listened to. Graduation is probably my least favorite but I love too much of that album for me to feel right saying that, Good Life, Can't Tell Me Nothing, and Stronger are possibly his strongest singles imo

    Yeah the new Facts is great. Whole album is so great, the bonus tracks rip too. Saint Pablo is like a top 10 ye track of all time.
