in spite of
- a fucked up rollout
- being a dogshit person
- ai vocals
- fumbling the greatest outro of a song in his career (this one here)
- 20930291 delays

its actually alright?

like its not anything crazy but somehow, kanye still manages to find within him enough of his old self and production skill to salvage this album

an 8/10 album after 2-3 years is great
an 8/10 album after 8 years is questionable

dad im trans✅
no dad i wont become an underground hyperpop artist❌

this has potential guys!!!
it just needs at different beats, different producers, different label, different writers, different genres, different lyrics, different songs, different lengths, different track arrangements, different vocals, and different mixing!
jokes aside, i actually had some fun listening to this, but no way in hell was this worth 5 years.

Quite exhausting tbh, it was quite good at some tracks. I found the features to be alright. Even though some tracks like Sao Paulo dont really add much, it still sounds good. There's also songs that fit his style alot, like Open Hearts, so it's no surpirse that he was cooking on them. Overall, it's a nice way to end your career, but for a career long and expansive over two decades, one would expect that he would finish off with a cinematic epic.
