I swear this album is getting the oddest string of reviews ever 😕

Chicago Tribute - 2/4
Spin - 6/10
Entertainment Weekly - B-
Pitchfork - 8.5/10
Usa Today - 4/4

And after the third listen, I'm giving it a 4/5 stars. It got better every listen. Why I Love You is my favourite track 😄

I'm partway through Lift Off. I really hate Beyonce.
So far this album seems a lot less... ambitious than Twisted Fantasy.
It's just kinda forgettable. It's forgettable, and way too "pop". I loved how Twisted Fantasy was introspective and observant, but this is just generic hip hop.

can't really half an opinion have way through track #2...but yea, the album IS called "Watch The Throne", and it is half Jay-Z, so braggadocio rap (which isn't always a negative imo) is to be expected.

I agree, it's less ambitious than MBDTF...but it's ambitious nonetheless...wouldn't call it a pop album, imo musically this is the most innovative, powerful rap album since MBDTF.

Lift Off is hands down the worst track...should've been replaced by The Joy or Primetime

Yeah, put it down as being by the Throne.

So far so good, just started it. I'll probably have to finish it later at home though.

It's alright. To bad the critics are gonna have a heart attack over it and call it the greatest collaboration in hip-hop history. I need to listen to it some more, but from what I heard I wasn't that impressed. I like the songs with Frank Ocean on them; "No Church In the Wild" and "Made In America".

I'm pretty sure the collaboration is called The Throne.

I'm not feeling it. 🙁

Maybe it'll kick up a bit on the second listen. Very ...'fast' album. Production is nice. Very different from the usual Kanye & Jay-Z. No orchestras, no guest rappers, no skits, very few choruses..

I'll add the album to our charts.

Should it be under Kanye West & Jay-Z, or 'The Throne'?

(My ratings, if anyone cares)

No Church In The Wild - 75/100
Lift Off - 40/100
Nigga's In Paris - 65/100
Otis - 80/100
Gotta Have It - 70/100
New Day - 75/100
That's My Bitch - 80/100
Welcome To The Jungle - 60/100
Who Gon Stop Me - 65/100
Murder To Excellence - 70/100
Made In American - 50/100
Why I Love You - 85/100

Overall Album - 75/100 (well, on my notes it's a 73, but I rounded it up for the site.)

Nowhere close to MBDTF or The Blueprint, but an ok album.

The production is incredible...early favorites are New Day and Why I Love You...two very well used samples.

I'm giving it a few days before I think of putting it in my top albums chart, but I'm pretty sure it'll make it.

A) Unconfirmed Title
B) Way to condemn an album way before it's out
C) Have you heard the 3 songs of the "Teardrop..." EP none of them are bad whilst 1 is super-fantastic (Not teardrop)
D)How do you know some bands gonn a come out of nowhere and blow their load all over our faces?
E) Post your thoughts on here as soon as you've heard 'Throne' pleeeeeeeeeeeeease

A) It was confirmed a while back, wasn't it? 🤔
B) 🤣 Ya, I did
C) Ya, didn't like any of them 🫢 And are you takings about Major Minus?
D) 🤔 Well. We got 4 months left. I hold you to that 😎
E) Ya, sure 😁 , I'll add the album to our charts (well, if it's worthy) as well.

Not yet, but as soon as I'm listening to contemporary music again it'll be top of the list.
