Better listen to a yedits comp, there's actually no way we are getting unchanged leaks from atleast 3 years ago.
EDIT: There's actually some songs that are fine around the first half of the album, but then there are some heavily unfinished tracks like BOMB, MAYBE, LIFESTYLE/HUSBAND, 530; the last three of which I'm really sad to hear in such state.

This album feels incomplete and a little disorganized in general. I personally dig this change in direction for Kanye with all the more prominent gospel and christian-oriented sounds, though in this record we encounter with some of the worst material Kanye has ever made both lyrically and production-wise, with Closed on Sunday and Water being the worst offenders. However, there are a few songs with good potential that i wished could outweigh the downsides in this album
I really enjoy the summer vibes and the ideas that this album has going on. The sound, while a departure from what was presented in the previous 2 albums, doesn't necessarily lower the bar in quality as much as some may suggest. The memorability of some songs on the album isn't quite as present here as it was on the past records but overall it is an album i could really vibe to during the summer.
Best songs: Fallen Fruit, Mood Ring, The Path
Worst songs: The Man with the Axe
