Absolutely

His most misunderstood album by far

Off topic but in reply to some other posts itt.

Life of Pablo is indeed mid.

But also, not terrible by any means. It's mid to good, but by the time it came out the bar was just so much higher for Ye.

I feel like people are rating the era more than the music itself when discussing this album. Was really the beginning of Ye's decline, it's so lazy compared to his previous work

Honestly top 4 ye for me, one of my fav albums of his

There's a screenplay that goes along with it. You can't pick it up just from listening to the album, it's a fictional story about a character called The Boy. Bunch of random s*** - He sees a shooting at a club, Rick Ross is his dad for some reason and there's some kind of love story and aliens take over the planet (end of Telegraph Ave music video)

As pretentious as it sounds but you can kinda see Atlanta has the same randomness and blunt humor. I applaud the effort and it was creative to have a website with video clips and telling the listener to listen to certain songs at certain points so that it's playing in the background while they read the screenplay. Also how the interviews, music videos etc all tie together

Blatant standom aside; I don't think she's capable of releasing "bad" music. She's the only artist that I listen to like 99% of what she's released and I enjoy it, thoroughly. Her ear for production needs to be celebrated more.

Eternal Sunshine could be classified as a concept album especially with how she switched up the artwork to reflect the brighter days ahead short film. Dystopian themes throughout mixed with astrology symbolism just got a real wicked (pun intended) sci-fi element to the project.

the deluxe version got like 7 extra tracks and they are all fire and build upon the standard edition.

i'm really anticipating the release of petal this summer🌷

When love feels like explosions in the sky

Perfect companion to a road trip. I like the message too this is encouraging

Opening track is really good at setting the stage, just make s*** dark and broody level of stuff here

Yup I agree.
The era was extremely memorable and nostalgic

But a large amount of lyrics on that album range from lazy to just outright bad. Ye simply stopped trying as hard after that project, it’s definitely the first example of Ye getting lazy with his music making process

Flylo -youre dead!

The Boy?

This reminds me, are you into the lore of Static Dress? @XantaClaus I checked their Wiki and all their albums are apparently some interconnected narrative? There are tie in games and lore dumps.

Station To Station

The Underwater Album

Thought it was a masterpiece on day one and still do

Bad replies

^when I heard this album, maybe it was the time in my life when I heard it, it just changed my view on what music and hip-hop could be more than any album.

I know there's a connecting story between their Prologue ep and their first album but I didn't know it went deeper than that. Thats so dope tho I gotta dive into it. I'm just now finding out about the games
