Yeah not sure what the fuss is all about. If this was an album about Easter Island, the Incas or carrots I think people would like it more. I'm not sure why everybody gets triggered like 12 year olds on r/atheist when you mention religion. The album itself was quite good in my opinion.

Amidst all the bruhah and heated takes I thought that the needle drop actually made some pretty level headed and interesting points about the album.

Fantano suggested that the album is far more about Kanye's very individual (and arguably problematic) take on faith than it is about the gospel. I agree with this. It feels like another Kanye West album not a genuine gospel album and it's full of his supposed character flaws. I can live with this and maybe this is ultimately more interesting than straight up gospel would be.

I think Fantano was a bit harsh on the music itself, which I'm still finding very palatable after several listens. "Selah" is pretty great and I find "God is" quite touching. Not classic Kanye but I like something about each track.

No mention of Yeezus this time. He does actually compare God to a Chik Fil A restaurant though.

I will say that Water as a song is really good. Kinda reminds me a bit of Jelly Charm.

That one stood out to me as well.

i don't understand the controversy around it. listened through twice, and it sounds more-or-less just like every other kanye album.

Yeah, I'm two listens in. I quite like it too but I don't think he's quite nailed this one. That said, it pretty much sounds like I'd expect Kanye does gospel to sound-which is a good thing. I think Kanye can do better but this is potentially a decent transitional album towards something greater.

It seems to be pretty polarizing, but I like it all right.
