Overall some solid tracks, Space Song, Beyond Love, Wildflower, and Days of Candy are AMAZING and the others I guess are okay but don't make me feel anything.
Best : Space Song (9.5/10)
Worst: 10:37 (7/10)
This has kind of the opposite effect as KOD for me. In KOD, there were lyrical highlights but not anything that offends me nor feels exciting. This album definitely has its fun moments, on the other hand, but cheesy and sometimes straight up weird writing just does not do this album justice.
GOD DAYUM its just so wild that out of the first 6 tracks I'd only really keep 1 and out of the last 5 im keeping almost all of them. Much stronger the further it goes but solid throughout nonetheless.
Not vibing with che's deep voice as much as his regular vocals but I dont hate it either.
I feel like this album falling more from my rotation is purely because of how much I blasted the singles; still good.
Don't let anyone tell you this album isn't just a good time.
Some great production and an absolutely stacked features for production and performers.
Unfortunately, the mixing on Yachty and Rocky sounds PARTLY for the aesthetic and PARTLY because it just wasn't properly done.
Also letting lyrics affect your experience of an album made not for its lyrical depth is something I very much disagree with but that last track genuinely sent me for a loop.
Good Album

Legit have no clue what the reviews related to Jane Remover are about but I just heard of it and took a listen and it's pretty solid stuff. Nothing ground-breaking but it's fun, shows some of the aesthetic of the band and serves as a solid introduction for people to enjoy with the pop rap/rock-esque songs.
GO! and What You Want are generic but I think they're pretty good highlights with good delivery. FaSHioN is a little corny sounding finna do the trap stuff but I'm mainly ... read more
Extremely sweet and well crafted music. Rich instrumentals meet compelling storytelling that take inspiration from baroque and classical music genres but transforms them in a modern light.
The conceptual themes are amazingly incorporated. Honestly I'm just so happy to see someone doing everything right for an album of this grandiose of a theme. There are some cliches and songs that I might not go back to but it stays very consistent.

subject to grow on me even more.
15 songs are good or atleast solid, with only 3 misses which in this day in age is insane for Kanye. I didn't really like circles or last breath but IF he just got rid of the AI on some tracks I would go to an 8/10. I still really love the last leg despite what everyone else is saying here they're good substance honestly, but my problem isn't in mainly how the AI sounds but more the fact that he did use it.
Also the demo sound is just a part of ... read more
Not absolutely horrible as much as some people are painting it. IF this was a genuine attempt to make something of a sound the members actually cared about I would like this a lot more, but knowing how inauthentic it is and how little of this is their artistic input rather than "hey we want you to just say this" definitely hurts my experience.
YOUNG THUG BLESSING US WITH THE BEST THUG PERFORMANCE IN AGES IN 2026 WAS SO UNEXPECTED
The new bonus tracks are beautiful
Amazing addition to the album that honestly beats the highs of the original.
Best: All Of My Friends, Trade Places, Say Hello, My Winter
Worst: Against The Grain, Prague
When he made rap music people called him a culture leech. When he starts making white boy music he continues to be called a leech, using popularity in rap to change genres; however, this macaroni head has made it clear that he has a love for the culture and honestly the most you can do to show that is to make a neo soul album.
So yeah, that said not the best album but there are some really solid ... read more
I started off a little skeptic since I hadn't listened to any of the singles, but this project definitely will grow on me. Nothing here shocks me but it's not trying to; just some high Southern Memphis type energy bangers.
Also Bktherule and TiaCorine RANN this album, but I don't think Denzel really added enough substance.
BEST: UP, TAN, HOOPTY
WORST: THE SCYTHE, YOU AINT GOTTA LIE, MUT THAT BIH
