Hey I forgot to mention this, but back in March when Kanye was changing Life of Pablo on TIDAL, and even non stop Kanye cock-gobblers like pitchfork were bitching about him trying to milk cash from the millions who signed up for the free trial of TIDAL just to hear TLOP, TIDAL actually sent me an email and said that because of the updates to the album, my free trial was being extended for another month.
I received two of these emails, one around the time he made the first change (to "Famous") and another when he restored balance to "Wolves" and threw "Frank's Track" on there and made some changes to the bass level in some parts of the album.
Nobody reported on this. Pitchfork didn't. But they would have if they'd known, because they report on everything that has anythjng to do with Kanye. None of the media outlets I visit noted that anyone who joined TIDAL just for TLOP was given TWO trial period extensions, rather than being billed for the next month.
I just thought this was important to point out. I originally said here that I opted to keep my Tidal subscription, and I did, but I didn't realize they hadn't charged me until later.
Then the album went up on Spotify and Apple and Googlr Play and then it was for sale (and I have purchased it, and have an encrypted download link that I can access from any computer as many times as I want to.)
So, I guess I should publicly say that Kanye did pretty much everything I wanted him to do, and I believe he has actually come through pretty well on this album in terms of making it available to fans while also supporting TIDAL (which should be more popular than it is, because he sound quality is bomb, and musicians get better compensation than they do through Spotify). So I'm pretty happy with he whole thing now. I just hope a hard copy is eventually available.
