    the whole album surely doesnt feel like one and thus ulb sticks out like a sore thumb. (lowlights too) wasn't a fan of the gospel thing from the start

    What if you just set aside your expectations and look at it for what it is?

    I can understand you not feeling the gospel.. but i can't understand how it wouldn't fit in.

    Isn't Kanye a deeply conflicting personality? Isn't that reflected really well on here? Hence why it's titled: The Life Of Pablo..

    An album which starts with ULB and concludes with Wolves. The track that has him display a sense of peace and quietude at the end.

    im focussing more on the sonic part of it. It might "fit" but it just doesn't sound good.

    The choirs you mean?

    I think you don't like gospel in general, i wouldn't say i'm a big fan either, but this is clearly an innovative mixture that doesn't feel too "heavy" if you know what i mean

    That's why i don't like Chance's CB. s--- is so mediocre and predictable.

    I don't think I can name one. Does Low Lights count?

    Thanks Jakey! :D

    I think we should count it, as it's important to the overall concept. Why? What makes it "bad" ?

    It's the worst song out of the lot. Despite the meaning behind it, there's nothing really appealing towards it.

    1. Ultralight Beam : amazing beat. Cool Chance verse but Kanye doesn't add much imo
    2. Father Stretch My Hands Pt. I : both Cudi and Kanye are great
    3. Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 2 : I hate Panda and Designer so this too
    4. Famous: love it
    5. Feedback: sounds little like yeezus in a good way
    6. Low Lights: nah
    7. High Lights: like it but prefer the OG
    8. Freestyle 4: okay
    9. I Love Kanye: funny but what I listen to
    10. Waves: overhated yet dumb. With proper verses instead of 5 kanye lines this would have been top 3 for me
    11. FML: lyrics are great but not a fan of ye's delivery first verse. And weekend all he does is repeat one line over and over again
    12. Real Friends: goat song
    13. Wolves: OG is great this has a terrible verse
    14. Frank's Track: well
    15. Silver Surfer Intermission see franks track
    16. 30 Hours: decent
    17. No More Parties In LA: decent
    18. FACTS (Charlie Heat Version): nah
    19. Fade: okay
    20. Saint Pablo: godly track
