On my first 769 listens to Yeezus, this feeling was subconscious. But now I have been able to articulate how On Sight -> Black Skinhead -> I Am A God -> New Slaves is like the first act of the album. It's relentless noise and chaos until it gently ends on the New Slaves outro. It's like the end of a really intense workout. I love the way it ends so softly and moves into Hold My Liquor. That transition is flawless. It's the cooldown song but it's also intensely moving in its own way.

Thoughts, add on to this

Kanye already said BOTL was gonna be first but said fuk it

been a minute gonna run a playthrough rn

I could see this working with the flow tbh

definitely glad he made it #7 instead

Glad he made on sight first, fits so well

This album still sounds fresh today. also Ye blacked on BOTL. def one of his greatest hits.

yeezus is my favorite kanye album and rap album OAT, brilliant music

The synths being so similar on On Sight and Send It Up implies the heroes journey.

The tour is DEFINITELY heroes journey and I believe the album is as well

yeezus is future music

new slaves outro is such a cathartic release after the build up of such aggressive sounds of the prior tracks

That scream at the end f***s me up everytime, incredible.
