I've been a hardcore ๐ฏ Kanye fan since College Dropout ๐จ๐๐ค. I've LOVED ❤️ every single thing he's done. ๐ฏ OBVIOUSLY everyone loves the run of albums from CD to MBDTF. ๐คฆ♀️ I think Yeezus is his best album. ๐คท♀️๐ฅ๐ฅต I love TLOP. ❤️๐ฅI love Ye.❤️๐ฅ And I really loved the listening party version of Jesus Is King.❤️๐ฅ ✝️ I've been going through a really rough๐ฉ๐ญ time this year and the listening party ๐happened on one of the few weekends where I actually felt happy,๐๐ฏ๐ so I associated the bootleg recording of the listening party version of the album๐ฟ with the only bit of positivity ๐ฉ➕I've felt all year. ๐ญ๐ฉ Up ⬆️ From the Ashes ๐ฅ๐ was the MOST ๐ BEAUTIFUL ๐ THING ๐ I'd heard in a loong while, ⏳and though things went to shit ๐ฉ๐คขafter that, I've held on looking forward ➡️➡️ to hearing ๐that in CDQ.
And THIS is what we get. ๐ฟ๐คฌ๐ค๐ข Up From the Ashes is gone. ๐⚰️ LA Monster, which had some GREAT ๐ฏ melodies even if it wasn't the best ๐คท♀️ song on the album, is gone. ๐ฅ☠️ Selah ๐ฉ has been absolutely butchered. The transitions between songs sound extremely abrupt. ๐️๐ The mixing is ๐fucking๐ GODAWFUL even for a Kanye album. ๐คฆ♀️ Follow God sounds absolutely horrid ๐คฎ๐คฎ๐ฆ --I don't know how professional engineers/mixers/masterers can fuck up that bad. ๐คท♀️๐ฏ๐คฆ♀️ Even Use This Gospel manages to sound hollow somehow. ๐งน๐งดThe ☝️ only ☝️ song that lived up to my expectations was Water, ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ and Kanye's verse on it is easily one of the weakest ๐️♂️ parts on the album. ๐ค๐ค๐คฌ
And can we TALK about Kanye's vocals? ๐คฌ๐ต๐ต๐ต๐ธ The LQ recording of the listening party masked it, but never have his vocals sounded so ๐half-assed ๐, so unpolished. ๐งฝ๐งดAnd they aren't even mixed properly. ๐คฆ♀️ Ugh!
I've loved ๐๐everything Kanye has put out and I've always defended ๐ก️ his new music and hated ๐ seeing posts like these trashing Yeezus or TLOP or Ye. ๐ But I'm just so ๐ incredibly ๐ unbelievably ๐ disappointed ๐ with ๐ this. I KNOW it's my fault for listening to the leaked recording and getting my hopes up. ๐ญ But needed ๐ฏ that album and this just isn't it. ๐ญ๐คฎ๐ค๐ธ๐ต
I never ๐ซ๐ซ thought ๐ญ this day would come, but I'm going to need to distance ๐ myself from my Kanye fandom for a while. ๐๐ I can look past all the antics, ๐ฅ all the controversies, ๐️ all the ignorance, ๐ค and ๐ฅhell๐ฅ, I can even forgive the delays ⏳⌛and the poor communication. ๐๐ซ๐ But this album...๐ฟ... ๐ญI don't know. ๐ญ๐ This is just one ☝️step ๐ฆถ too far.๐ I just needed to get that off my chest.๐ฃ๐ฃ I don't mind if everyone disagrees ๐and downvotes ⬇️ me to oblivion--I guess I'd be happy if you all enjoy the album. ๐คก๐คก But as one of Kanye's biggest fans... I don't know. He really let me down this time. ๐ค ☹️๐๐๐ญ
