Its greatness for sure. I'd put it behind only College Dropout, Graduation and MBDTF....pretty pretty pretty good!
Some of my fav tracks.
Famous - throwback Kanye
Ultralight Beam - beautiful song
No More Parties in LA - Kendrick is fire
Feedback - dirty and raw sound
Facts - angry Kanye is good

3/5 on first listen. Far too unfocused, once again like Yeezus the lyrics are simply boring and awful, not interesting or witty or funny (just immature), and Kanye generally gets outperformed by his guests on most songs. If he's going to continue signing so much too, time for signing lessons and not so much auto-tune, it's truly distracting. I suspect this ends up in the Graduation/808s territory ultimately, albums loved by some but mostly viewed as meh by most.

I'd give it a 3-3.5/5. It really does seems to be like he had 3 different albums mashed together, but it isn't bad. Ultralight Beam, FML, Real Friends, 30 Hours and No More Parties In LA are my favorite songs on my first listen.
Just starting a full listen now but I've listened to wolves about a dozen times and, what might be the best part on the album is the Chance the Rapper verse on ultralight beam. Insanely insanely good
The new album from Toronto punkers PUP comes out on May 27th. The video for DVP is now officially my favourite music video of all time. I could have easily put in in the Cool Videos or Video games thread:

The band formerly known as Viet Cong have finally made good on their promise to change their name. From now on, the Calgary-based post-punk outfit will operate as Preoccupations.
