kylebutcher5 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Are there supposed to be more than the 10 I've heard? BestBuy has 14 listed, amazon has 14. The other 4 remain nameless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Questhate Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm liking this album a lot too in general. The highlights are some of the best songs in his whole catalog (Black Skinhead, Bound 2, Blood on the Leaves), but a couple joints really drag it down (Guilt Trip especially). Production-wise this is about the most adventurous he's used, but lyrically he's taken a step back from MBDTF. He's always due for a corny line or two (and that sorta makes him endearing in a weird way), but he has especially cringe-worthy ones this time around (mi casa su casa/la costra nostra). Plus his delivery has gotten a bit less polished since MBDTF -- not as awkward as his first two albums, but man the way he hits the pocket on On Sight and I Am a God reminds me of P-Diddy. Nitpicky things aside though, Kanye comes with some compelling stuff once again. I wouldn't put this up there with MBDTF or College Dropout, but I'd probably slot it above Late Registration, Graduation and especially 808's.

hooper Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 There's supposedly a "Deluxe Edition" with 14 tracks, but I don't think that's really ever been confirmed anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nardes Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Over/under 100,000 units sold first week? i think over. they're expecting around 500,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nardes Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 apparently, the amazon/iTunes version is different... someone posted this in the reviews: The biggest difference is on "Send it up" at 1:28 when Kanye says "I might ride around on my bodyguard back like Prince in the club." The iTunes version is different in that the beat cuts off for that entire line, which can be heard on the iTunes sample of the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 this could be a confirmation that it's coming on clear vinyl. https://twitter.com/virgilabloh/status/346859389380083712 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefoxUSSR Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 this could be a confirmation that it's coming on clear vinyl. https://twitter.com/virgilabloh/status/346859389380083712 Hope so. The digital versions thus far are loud as hell (DR4 for nerds), but that seems to be part of its charm. Really curious if the LP comes out and if it is noticeably different.

drewberinger Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 sounds like the iTunes version of this sounds a lot better than the other versions - but I'm still gonna go out and buy it on CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Most notable difference in the CD version is the lossy master of "Hold My Liquor." I'd steer clear, personally. Best fidelity available so far is the lossless digital from the French retailer Qobuz. I think the same version is available direct from Kanye's site as 320 kbps MP3s and, as has been stated, iTunes.

Samdroid Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I heard somewhere that the rip on Kanye's site was 192kbps, which is just... horrifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylebutcher5 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 just picked up the CD. I'm on Black Skinhead and the yelps and yells are far better and more defined than the leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
