and its f***in trash lmao no album made by a platinum selling artist should be mixed as bad as it is
If this would have been at least 30 minutes I wouldn’t be so disappointed at the length but regardless I love the album so I’m good
11 tracks at 27 minutes sounds wild
Y'all obsessed with the length of projects,what leaks didnt make it and how everyone else feels about the project.
Everything but the actual project
First of all, 90% of what is going on in this forum is overanalyzing of Kanye. Secondly, of course after listening parties and people like Cons who post alternative tracklists, it is very hard not to be frustrated. People are giving money to the leakers just to get some unfinished mumbling when Kanye has like 4 finished songs that he played but doesn't feel like giving them to his fans.
Y'all fault for listening to leakers tbh. No sympathy you listened to illegal music or bought it.
What is the obsession with length on here?
It doesn't effect the quality.
There's classics that are 20+ track double albums, but that doesn't stop something like Dirty Mind (8 tracks) by Prince being one of the greatest albums of all time.
It will be the length it needs to be, and if it's really exceptional or original then it might become a classic.
The length itself doesn't effect how good the album is. And the length of the tracks shouldn't matter either, a lot of my favourite gospel music is fairly short recordings from the 50s and 60s. A classic song is a classic song, it doesn't need a minute long outro to make it artistic.
I think this is a beautiful album and does it really matter if it's a classic? It's part of an overwhelmingly classic discography so it matters for that alone. Kanye already gave you 5 classics, produced another classic for Common and then produced half a classic for Hov too. That's like 6.5 classics, and some would count WTT too.
It would be fun but what does Kanye, the fans or hip hop really gain from more classic Kanye albums? I'd rather just watch him do what he wants to do, that's actually more interesting than him having to factor in multiple fanbases, being as original as possible, what makes him timeless and what will become a hit. We've already seen him do that, let him follow his instincts, and at some point a classic might just happen. And if it doesn't it's not a big deal
He calls it an album on his own site. I'm saying lets not twist the meanings, and you do exactly that. If artist promise an album and already has albums that might even be longer then 1 hour, I expect a decent length and not some super short thing, at the same time if someone promises an EP I won't expect 1 hour of music just because some dude did it.
This is an album. 9 full songs and 2 interludes is way too long for an EP.
If you only listen to music from this era then I get why this would seem short. But it's really a very 'classic' thing to do, which is what you want right anyway..
As I say look at Prince - he had classics that were 80 minutes like Sign o the Times and then classics that were barely 30 mins like Dirty Mind that are just as good, if not better.
If you're disappointed, it's probably more to do with the music than the length. I think it's a beautiful album tho, that's definitely not a classic and doesn't need to be. But adding an extra ten mins, wouldn't make this a classic. He'd have to add more lyrical themes, probably get more features etc.
they said the same thing about yeezus being 40 min
most people didnt even appreciate yeezus til the tour happened
i think we are about to get another yeezus-level tour if kanye stays healthy
but the album dropped 5 days ago its WAYYY too early to be talking about this

..3 minutes
Maybe it’s an ocd thing but I prefer 30 over an odd 27
so b it, maybe throw that extended use this gospel on it instead if that's what u prefer, might kill 2 birds w 1 stone
that electric guitar outro
wish that was still on the official tbh but oh well

Anything extra would be a blessing

Dont forget producing a classic for Push as well as some his best songs (numbers on the boards, MPA, pain, nosetalgia)

I mean if we going on classic songs Ye produced for others that's a long one
I love Daytona, definitely kept me into current Ye last year but I dunno if it's a classic tbh. It was still my AOTY tho
