Oh Kanye West. The man needs no introduction. He returns with a short album, following the trend he started with Pusha T's latest record of keeping the project to 7 tracks. Despite the album cover and track list looking like some EP an emo band uploaded to Bandcamp, this is sonically a Kanye West album: vocal sampled filled beats, uplifting instrumentals with emotional lyrics, infectious hooks, a great Kid Cudi feature. However, there is a big emphasis on mental health awareness, especially on the opening track, which I think is pretty cool. It's definitely an improvement from that cluttered mess known as The Life of Pablo, which was an album I enjoyed for the tracks alone, but was messy in the format of an album. Like DAYTONA, there is nothing to complain about other than the length. At least we are getting three more Kanye-related albums this month. I enjoyed this project for what it is, but I must end this note with a phrase that has been chanted since Kanye came back to the Internet: I miss the old Kanye.
Track list:
1. I Thought About Killing You
2. Yikes
3. All Mine
4. Wouldn't Leave
5. No Mistakes
6. Ghost Town
7. Violent Crimes
Yesterday is dead
