I'm listening to it now. So far most of it is more sparse, repetitive and conventional musically than I'd expect from Kanye, so that may be what your brother was reacting to.

I like it so far, but it's just different than I'd normally expect from Kanye.

^ Yeah, I haven't heard it yet, but I'll be surprised if Kanye has enough material to justify a double album.

Nah this way is more dramatic.

Explains why it's so long and has the pt 2s tacked onto the end. Still thought it was pretty consistent compared to what I've heard from him before.

Not at all surprising. That was my first thought when I added it to "My Music" on my Amazon streaming yesterday. I thought, "I'd better periodically check this to make sure it hasn't been grayed out, because I'd bet anything Kanye isn't going to leave the album on here long term without any modifications." At this, a lot of new releases wind up supplanted with modified versions, so it's not as if Kanye would be unusual in this.

By the way, I don't understand Kanye saying, "They blocked Jail 2 from being on the album." "Jail pt 2" is track #24 on the Amazon upload. Is "Jail pt 2" not what he's talking about?

I think it was blocked on some platforms

Ja it was grayed out on most platforms for about 8 hours before they fixed it.

I'm a couple of tracks in right now and it's...fine.

Interesting. I wonder why.
