Standard is the definitive way which is pretty cohesive for the most part.
Irko the mixing engineer had confirmed that deluxe was just a playlist to boost streams on IG live.
Thats why the the beginning tracks in the deluxe were the more streamed ones and the singles.
This crossed my mind during the Pablo era but no I dont think so, just have to embrace the messiness as we are now post-Pablo after all

thats what i did cause the dam album had too many tracks n versions
doubt he meant people to do it tho. he just went crazy n couldnt sequence it right so he said f*** it n dropped every versions
I think he just put the most popular songs first on the deluxe so it’s not random just dictated by streams
i made my own tracklist

you can slap whatever other tracks you want on as bonus tracks at the end
conversely to your tracklist, my version is ultra long and packed with 32 tracks. i like the idea of it being a sprawling epic and there’s enough great music to justify it
Not reading everyone’s tracklists
Just remove Jonah & Ok Ok and Donda is perfect

facts
People generally underrate the amount of thought put into Donda. There was a whiteboard circulating a few months ago that showed how the songs were each tied to some kind of spiritual/emotional concept that fit into a broader narrative.
Not saying it was necessarily well executed (and I don't really think it was), but the album definitely isn't a 'data dump' despite what people on here tend to say.
