Amy Lawn Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Haven't stopped listened to The Life Of Pablo in secret since it came out, so fucking annoying what a masterpiece it is. I mean, it's obviously a shitty mess, but it's fucking brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Whole thing obviously needlessly tainted by Taylor-gate but yeah it's still ace. If only he'd refined the tracklist a bit it'd be almost as good as Dark Twisted Fantasy for me. But as it is: MBDTF Yeezus Graduation Pablo 808s WTT College Dropout Imaginary EP of non-album songs like FourFiveSeconds and Only One Cruel Summer Late Registration edit: I realise that makes it look like I live by some kind of rule about insistently preferring his later stuff which isn't the case, but oh well.

Probably my second favourite (after MBDTF obviously). No album that has We Major on it could ever come last. Why the hate? The Life of Pablo has definitely grown on me over time. Definitely his patchiest album all over imo, but the highs are very high. Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1 is 2 minutes and 15 seconds of pure perfection (bleached assholes and all).

LR isn't a bad record by any means, Hey Mama and a couple of others are sublime and there are probably few songs by anyone that I listened to as a teenager more than Heard 'Em Say. but the album as a whole is 'very good' rather than 'Kanye good' imo, and also it suffers for the inclusion of Gold Digger which got plain annoying for undeservedly becoming his most famous song. might be harsh to rank it lower than FourFiveSeconds though yeah.

Used to listen to the guy lots but then The Life Of Pablo came out and that all changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pure Comedy and Everything Now do turn out to be brilliant then I'd be well chuffed, but I gave them both yet another go very recently and couldn't finish either of them. Late Registration is a weird one, hits absolutely outrageous highs for the most part, but gets marred by about 4 or 5 complete clangers. Most jarring being when it goes from Hey Mama straight into "Yeah, you know what this is, it's a celebration bitcheeees. Grab a drink, grab a glass, after that I grab yo ass" :/ :/ :/ :/ :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Leach Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Life of Pablo's good moments are more than good enough, it's a glorious mess. I've been listening to Graduation a lot recently, that album bangs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up being one of my favourite albums ever. So good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Graduation is great, but it also contains what I'd classify as Kanye's first really quite shit song in Barry Bonds. Drunk & Hot Girls bangs though so I won't have a bad word said about that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priest17 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Graduation is probably my joint least favourite album of his (with 808). Yeezus is my favorite, the rest float around depending on my mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocumaroy Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Yeah, love The Life of Pablo. Might be my favourite of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Lawn Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Graduation's definitely my least favourite, but it's a very good album, with astonishing highs. For all his faults, Kanye never fails to deliver when it's album time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'm not sure whether it's just because I blasted it non-stop back then or because some aspects of it (Chris Martin feature, T-Pain, Daft Punk sample) seem so dated now but the most eminent theme I get from Graduation is "2007", whereas every other Ye album is pretty much timeless. Still rank it higher than 808's but it's kinda at a disconnect with early era Kanye and genius era Kanye. It's also 10 today, funnily enough, so cheers to that. Anyway...

Alex DeLarge Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Didn't know 808s was so unpopular here! MBDTF > Late Registration > College Dropout > Yeezus > 808's > The Life of Pablo > Graduation > Watch the Throne I think what dental said about Graduation feeling extremely 2007 is bang on, I feel like WTT has dated pretty quickly as well except for a few choice cuts (Paris, No Church in the Wild, Murder to Excellence) and the rest of the tracks are a bit lacklustre. Seriously, does anyone listen to Lift Off anymore? Made in America? Why I Love You? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 TLOP is a weird one. Wouldn't class it as being near my favourite albums of 2016 (probably down to the inconsistency), but along with AMSP and the Local Natives album it was without a doubt what I listened to the most. Had it on pretty much non-stop when it was released. In terms of ranking his albums, haven't listened to half of them in forever but something along the lines of: MBDTF > The College Dropout/Late Registration > Yeezus > TLOP > 808s/WTT Just realised I've left Graduation out which would probably slot in around Yeezus/TLOP-level. MBDTF and the final two are the only placings that are cemented for me. Gonna have a listen through of his discog in the coming days to give a more informed ranking as my taste has changed a fair bit since I listened to half of these albums anyway.
