3:42 God Breathed - Melon says the extended outro is unnecessary 3:48 Praise God - Baby Keem's verse derails the track 4:10 Junya - "Playboi Carti ripoff" 4:42 Believe What I Say - Likes it a lot. Great Lauryn Hill sample, Though feels its completely out of line with the album theme 5:22 Remote Control - Says it’s the worst chorus on the entire album, Young Thug verse can’t save it. Comments on the strange “Globglabglab” sample are followed by a rare Cal Chuchesta appearance 5:50 New Again - Loves the intro and gets a Graduation vibe, but feels like a piece of Christian EDM and criticises Chris Brown's inclusion 6:17 Tell The Vision - "Just did not need to be", appreciates Kanye's vision for Pop Smoke tribute but feels the track is not it 7:10 Pure Souls - Features great appearances from Shenseea and Roddy Ricch, organ chords and instrumentals are good, but describes Kanye's verse as the least interesting on the record 9:48, 10:44, 12:17 Jail - Anthemic. Loves Jay-Z's wordplay and charisma 9:59, 11:23, 14:23 Hurricane - Praises Weeknd and Lil Baby features. Kanye’s rapping has a charged up, redemptive energy that calls back to MBDTF 10:56, 12:00, 14:45 Off The Grid - Easily one of Kanye's most progressive and merciless bangers in a while. Fivio Foreign has some of the best bars, smartest lyrics on the record, loves the drill style beat change underneath it. Says Kanye’s energy can keep up with the two younger features on the song 11:32, 13:59 Jonah - Vory and Lil Durk give moving vocal performances on the track. Interesting narrative from Kanye with the posturing, aggression and feelings of isolation 11:38, 12:35 Moon - Gorgeous melodies. Kanye, Don Toliver and Kid Cudi layer up into pure vocal bliss 11:44 Keep My Spirit Alive - Westside Gunn & Conway back up the record's godly themes 11:48 13:26 Jesus Lord - Jay Electronica delivers one of his verses in a while. Praises Kanye’s storytelling 12:23, 13:51 Heaven And Hell - Distortive, buzzing synthesisers, totally unhinged Kids See Ghosts-style adlibs. Manic, Yeezus type energy 12:42 Come to Life - Features fast, propulsive, minimalist piano layers 12:57 No Child Left Behind - Calm after the storm. Airy, floaty

I was able to listen to it from beginning to end without feeling like I needed to skip anything. For an album as long as it is, that’s really impressive.

After a long day of work, Kanye West goes to his Kanye Nest to take his Kanye rest. He wakes up feeling Kanye Best. Then he'll get Kanye Dressed on his Kanye Vest to go on a Kanye Quest. He goes to church and becomes Kanye Blessed, then to a hotel room to be a Kanye guest. Then to school to take his Kanye test. He forgot to brush his teeth, did he run out of Kanye crest?. His neighbor stole it, what a Kanye pest. He then puts on some axe for some Kanye zest and goes to the bar puffing out his Kanye chest. Gets drunk into a Kanye mess and goes home to the Kanye west part of town. He realised his life is a wreck and was feeling Kanye depressed. "My life sucks" he Kanye distressed. He decided to get some damn croissants and started to Kanye digest. "You should get some Kanye rest" his wife Kanye pressed. Instead, he went to a Kanye fest, went to the airport and flew on Kanye southwest, got some Kanye rest, and was feeling ready for his Kanye contest. Or at least he Kanye guessed. On the day of the competition, he was feeling Kanye stressed. But in the end, the judges were Kanye impressed. For his performance, he was awarded with the Kanye chest, clearly identified with the Kanye crest. There ends the story or Kanye West
