Thanks for the heads up.
Donda clearly wasn't finished
and still better than CLB. Sonically it’s not even close really.Donda clearly wasn't finished
Nah I've listened to the album in its "final" form & a large some of the transitions & track placements are careless. At a certain point it plays like a compilation opposed to an album. Like I think there was gonna be 2 parts. Pt. 1 being is marriage falling apart ("Never Abandon Your Family"), and part 2 was shaping into him repairing it ("Come to Life"). There's a great album in what we have, but how we received it was fairly mediocre. I only really listen to full projects, so stuff like this bothers me. This particular song didn't even have to be included, but it could've played well into the story Ye was performing.
People said all this about tlop as well and that album has aged so well. I think donda will be viewed the same way in 5 years.
TLOP was definitely a cohesive album w/ top tier pacing. That and LR are his best put together albums. Donda was put together amazingly at the 1st event and the 3rd version bolds well until it doesn't. From 1-9 it holds well together, but after that it's like"why is this song here?"
yeezus is his best sequenced, paced and produced album but I know some folks still don’t understand/like that album so they discredit it. I remember every review and fan saying tlop was an unorganized mess that has some great songs just wasn’t a cohesive project.
I think the backlash Yeezus gets from some ppl is solely b/c of how its sequenced. Had he started it off w/ "New Slaves" or "Blood on the Leaves" ppl would have it right up there w/ MDTF, and TLOP was unorganized when he played at that Yeezy Season fashion show b/c he was still working on it, but it still came together perfectly bipolar.
I was literally talking about this song yesterday. Such a good cut.
on sight was the perfect intro to yeezus. Let you know instantly it was gonna be a completely different vibe from the perfection of dark fantasy. Yeezus still his best album to me. Not many artist in any genre would do a sonically radical departure from one of the best reviewed albums of all time
I also typically on listen to projects as whole as well. Due to that, I've kind of gotten over how all over the place and careless the track placement is.
Ye's vocal sample game is off the chain.
