Considering I thought this was going to be a 40, I'm pleasantly surprised; I'm still not entirely pleased either. Really STRONG start, I mean ALL THE LOVE is one of my favorite songs from him that I've heard in years. It's a glimpse of what he can truly do, a glimpse of the 'Old Kanye'. Once WHITE LINES hit, it started to die down for me, especially with CIRCLES and DAMN, the former being just mid and not of interest, and the latter genuinely making my blood boil. ... read more
Very cool album that you can just speedrun through essentially. I don't have a ton of complains besides the fact that his accent was offputting LMAOOOO. No hate though once I settled I was vibing. This album can also sound a tad bit samey at times but I feel that was bound to happen with this album's nature.
I felt the Jazz flowing through my veins. Intravenous Jazz, if you will. I love it.
Very lyric driven so some songs that I didn't understand fully on first listen might end up lower than they should be.
It was a very pleasant album to listen to and based on what I was able to understand and comprehend I felt compelled by what was being told throughout.

I thought it was a really cool, very fun all around album. You can tell a lot was put into this and you can tell they had a lot of fun crafting this album. I could feel it.
Best album of the year and top 5 of the decade for sure. This album unironically has it all. I think the visualizing movie is absolutely beautiful and it really helped capture what Quadeca was going for. The optimal way to experience this album is through the movie on YouTube. I think the music quality is stellar, I loved most of the tracks on the album, however, sadly I did not enjoy track 9 (I DREAM ABOUT SINKING) as much, which is why I have a final score as 99 and not an 100. I think the ... read more
It's like a bite sized version of his better albums. Really pleasant LP if you're into Flower Boy and some parts of Igor. Really gives those vibes in many of these tracks.
