Yeezus was an awesome detour but this album might be a disappointment. shit talking mush mumbling modern rap with atmospherics that stick here and there. otherwise it's a mess and not a good one at that.
Run the Jewels series rule for now. just like they topped Watch the Throne. well, kinda.

I just listened to the whole album, and I like it better than Yeezus.
Run the Jewels has nothing on this or any Kanye record. This album is, yeah, a little loose and sloppy at times, but WE'RE SONIC YOUTH FANS. Loose and sloppy is fine.
Actually you mention how FML sounds like 70s punk or whatever. I was just thinking today that the tail end sounds almost like Sonic Youth!! I don't know who's being sampled, but it's Fucking ass kicking, and FML is a glorious song.

These songs, all of them, rank with the best work Kanye's ever done. There's more scorchers on this album than on any Ye album except for MBDTF. I think these are all 5/5 songs, and for once in my life I'm so glad Pitchfork wrote a praising review.
Highlights is dope as hell too. So is Waves.
This album may be sloppy and not what we're used to, and as an album its concept is a little all over the place, but the gospel shit holds the thread. Whatever it lacks as an album it makes up for by having individual songs that are among his best ever.
Ain't no mumbling! Yeah Ty$ does some mumbling, but I like it. Ye doesn't mumble. Sounds nothing like anything else out there, thank you very much.
