only things i got from it were 1. god is great because god made kanye great, 2. god is great because he lets people break addictions. i wasn't expecting much -- it's music not a sermon -- but i got even less.

figured i should try this so here's a single spin response:
every hour - first 25 seconds: hey, it's old kanye! // remaining 80 seconds: um, so i guess he's not gonna do anything except chipmunk this up huh.
selah - if this were lower-fi and kanye had to do this in his spare bedroom with protools, this might be sorta interesting outsider art? as it is, just a lot of bombast punctuated by angry subway dude rambling until he hyperventilates
follow god - nice production, terrible mix; put a competent rapper on this and you might have something. i liked it when he went YAAAAAAAGH
closed on sunday - a dark gritty reboot of 'teddybear's picnic' that includes the recurring lyric "closed on sunday / you're my chick-fil-a" // kanye playing at I'm-a-grown-ass-man profundity has generally offered terrible returns
on god - the sound of a man freestyling while playing three video games at once
everything we need - this is not good
water - this would've been okay as an interstitial right up until the part where kanye starts saying jeZUS over and over and then i saw that i was only halfway through the song
god is - this would be fine as end credit music for some sort of religious romance drama if it had more than one idea going on. some real egregious musical choices for the last minute, like keeping the last minute. NB: right around here is when my attention started wandering seriously.
hands on - this is terrible, listen to this from fred hammond instead.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tyVRgOU6Ywsnoop's Bible of Love is WAYYYYY better than this EP and, at nearly five time the length, goes much faster.alright i guess i have to go back to the end of this thing huh.
use this gospel - kanye clearly didn't properly close the car door one night when he was badly fucked up and took his resulting revelations as universal but oh my god all i can hear here is CLOSE THE FUCKING CAR DOOR. what a waste of a reunited clipse; the kenny g sax solo is unnecessary. ClOsE tHe FuCkInG cAr DoOr
jesus is lord - lol you have to be kidding me here
in conclusion "feels longer than 27 minutes" is completely otm. I don't think any of these songs are going to merit a second spin from me ever again.

kinda surprised by how many times i thought 'this might have been a cool musical idea if it was fleshed it out a bit instead of on this album' (maybe 3 or 4 times) but it still generally ranges from 'bad' to 'extremely terrible'

My wife’s boss was at the Kimmel taping last night and Kanye was the surprise guest. Apparently he was a total ass and offended any none Christians in the room.

funny, the album says something about Christians hating him the most.Album had some nice guest spots. I also liked the end of that one song where he said to his dad HAUUNNNGH

First listen: Like the last one, this feels sketchy and rushed. Simply, it's not good music. There's nothing interesting happening here, sonically or lyrically.
Wild to me how Kanye has gone from one of my favourite artists of all time to someone whose new music I know I will dislike before I even listen to it in the span of just 2 years.

the best part is he has already built in a pre-planned "the people wouldn't accept this brilliant work of art because I was testifying for the Lord instead of partying and material things"odd him and Chance get together for a passive aggressive collaboration album?

His stock is seriously down - College Dropout placed 98 in the 00's poll. Hopefully over time some of those early-mid records will regain their sheen.

he's better as a producer for others always has beenthe only satisfying thing he's done lately is Pusha T and that's because it was basically him in old Roc a Fella mode, trying to make a commercial rap record not some inane "statement"

Yeezus is still amazing. Listening through this new one now a second time, and that's probably as much as it'll get. A few nice moments, but it flows worse than even Life of Pablo. At least it's shorter.

I've only heard the new album once - am am likely to never hear it again - but if anything it sounded like a sincere, maybe desperate attempt to overcome religion through egotism to me. The album should have been called 'Kanye is king'. If anything he wants Jesus to worship him, not the other way around.
