Really looking forward to this album now!! Kanye has released a 30 min short film. Has snippets from songs off the album. Sounds like a few classics on it especially the very 1st song! After watching the film though he has some mad sh*t going on in his head haha. Its weird. Here is the track listing & link for the movie.…

I was surprised there wasn't already a thread on this.

I'm a little disappointed with the tracklist, I've heard nearly all the songs already. It's an odd move to release a song every Friday, use a few of them on the album and later have a movie which features nearly all the songs on the album. That's not to say the songs aren't good, but it's always nice to have a few unheard tracks when you get an album.

As for the tracks themselves, So Appalled is my favourite. Monster, Dark Fantasy and Runaway are good as well.

This album should be great, I really dug every snippet on the Runaway movie.
All Of The Lights is going to be absolutely HUGE! I've heard that track might end up being 20 minutes long :eek:

@ Benny Lava ,as far as I know, every G.O.O.D Friday song thats on the album will be different to what we've already heard

looking foward to this, the whole good friday thing has got me liking kanye again after all that auto tune rubbish, great to hear kanye rapping again because he is a top rapper and im also looking foward to the new album he has coming out with jay z called watch the throne after this one.

Track list is a big let down, we've heard half of it already and even if the album versions are different to the songs released already I doubt they'll be completely different.

In other news Jay and Kanye now want to make Watch The Throne a full album rather than a 5 track EP as originally planned.

Can't wait for this album. 808s and Heartbreak grew on me, but I'm glad he's returned to his old ways. He's an incredible producer.

Cant stop playing Gorgeous in my head, love anything Kid Cudi seems to touch these days. Also slightly addicted to the mix he does of power on the drum machine, dark fantasy and all of the lights standing out for me currently, defiantly crave this album

All them fallin, for the love of ballin

This is the 35 minute movie that acts as the video for Runaway.

This release is not strictly a Kanye album, it's more of a show case of G.o.o.d. Musics artist, it's kinda on the lines of Dr. Dre's Aftermath album it just features a lot more of the label boss. I have a feeling that Kanye is trying to prove some point about downloads and the music industry with this as well. As in, we've already given out half this album for free and we'll still push big numbers. I'm prob wrong though. I'll defo pick up a copy.

I'm liking the song "Gorgeous" with Kid Cudi and Raekwon.

The album version of "All of the Lights" is good enough but the highly talked about cast barely get any time to themselves apart from Rihanna.

yeah, pretty much every song bar Blame Game is out in one shape or form

I do believe what Kanye said though, I can't see the G.O.O.D Fridays being the exact same as what we've already heard

btw, Gorgeous is fantastic, that, Lost In The World and AOTL are my favourites so far

Haven't gotten the whole album yet (just a partial leak) and I don't like all of it, but Runaway is an amazing tune. Been looping that for ages. Having Pusha T on it doesn't hurt. ****ing class verse.

I think that is th best thing to do, Kanye tweeted a few days back saying Devil In A New Dress is now 7 mins long, the version out now is just over 2 mins, so it looks like he's making major changes to the leaks that are out

Rolling Stone gave the album 5 stars
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/reviews/album/45342/232350

Honestly, after a few very detailed listens I wouldn't disagree with them

I never thought I'd hear a Progressive hip hop album, well thats the only description I can come up it because this is different to anything I've ever heard

That break beat during Devil In A New Dress, damn.....

Impressive. Rolling Stone don't give out 5 stars easily, and this is Kanye's second one after Late Registration. Can't wait for this album.

My only criticism of the album is I think he absolutely ruined Runaway. The simple version in the leak worked way better. Threw a stupid panning "Hey hey hey" all over the finished version and not mad on all the extra vocal lines. And the 3 minute vocoder outro is a bit pointless. Just over egged the pudding really.
