This album has gotten some pretty negative feedback across the board but with that aside; the f***ing hype really put it in it's place. The constant "build up to let down" rollout of this album over the past year really made it something to look forward to(when/if it came). You'd think after rethinking/scrapping this body of work over and over and over would result in a great product. But they just couldn't deliver. Had there have been zero hype/buildup-letdown and a surprise drop; there would have been no expectations. Sure the album still wouldn't have been "great" by any means but the hype really gave it a valid reason to be critiqued the way it is.

i can see that. album is great but length could be longer. i just think its time to acknowledge kanye is a family man of faith now. interesting to see such changes in kanye and chance
