    What kind of publication that wants to be taken serious drops a review hours after release? Clearly had some bias but are also too scared to rate it too low out of fear of looking like they jumped the gun

    The Wolves verse is definitely not as bad as y'all are making it out to be, but it is a bit of a fuckup considering what he did to the original version.

    it honestly ruins the song for me. It's such a beautiful track up to that point, and whatever he's going on about just doesn't fit. I doubt he will, but the only way to fix Wolves would include removing that entire rap verse.

    while i love the album (VIDEO REVIEW COMING EXCLUSIVELY TO THE SXN80 CHANNEL WEDNESDAY), its a f---ing mess. it still works but a lot of these tracks do not connect so well. it feels like a culmination of everything kanye's done in both the worst and best way possible

    well he released it, it's out, it's fair game to review it no matter how you approach the issue.
    i kinda like the album. won't settle on an official score for a couple days (review will be out later this week), but somewhere in the low 7s feels right. i would be interested in hearing the originals, of course.

    @Swizz is right, @J V S H. that rapped verse on wolves is garbage.

    give me a break

    there's not a single good line in the verse, let alone an "essential" one

    In my mind, this is Kanye's White Album. It's a mess, but a beautiful mess.
