Thanks to everyone that followed me, even though I should do more reviews.Anyway, this is probably my favorite album of all time and an important one too. I used to only listen to rock and 90s hip hop. Mainly because anytime I tried to listen to new hip hop, it was some rap caviar stuff. So this was the first new-ish rap album that I listened to. And it led to discovering many other artists like Tyler the Creator and Denzel Curry.

Kanye came back hungrier than ever on his second album; everything is flawless: the rapping, the hooks, the features, and the production. I do think that there are too many interludes, as it makes the album unnecessarily long.
I love Mike and Earl's Sweatshirt, and their rapping is pretty enjoyable on this project. Even though I like Earl and Mike on more abstract, drumless, sample-heavy production, I do like these types of beats. I think I would enjoy it more if the songs were longer and there were fewer songs on it.

I just saw mag bay live, and decided to come back to this album because of that. This might be one of the best pop albums of all time, it is literaly such a good album. First the soundscape is so good, with heavy synths, electric guitar, and cool baselines. The album is very thematically consistent with great writing. Overall this album has perfect dream pop songs with amazing production, and is very consistent.
