A lot of people have called this album rollout a mess with the changing of tracks after its release (among many other things), but I think it's intentional. Not just from a marketing standpoint (duh), but Kanye has always been one to push the boundaries of his music, and I think in that vein, he is deliberately giving us an album that is meant to change. If you check the Tidal page, he's changed the Silver Surfer Intermission to Siiiilver Surfffeeeeeeer Intermission. A new version of Wolves has been released, and leaked snippets of songs we haven't heard before have recently been posted to KTT, so there maybe still be additions and cuts to the album - a notion bolstered by the fact that copyright violations for songs posted to Soundcloud reference different tracklist numbers than the album that's been released up to this point. I think that's why the album has only been released on Tidal so far - it's the only platform that allows him to continually change things and upload new songs. He wouldn't have that freedom if he released it physically or through iTunes/Spotify. My theory is that Kanye is intentionally engaging us with his creative process, creating a living album that is still in flux. I think he wants us to switch up the tracklist, to play with the album in different ways. The album's not done, and it's not supposed to be.

How much longer are we going to uphold the "this is all part of Kanye's master plan" charade? At some point, we might want to start to consider that Kanye West isn't doing alright these days.
I've thought of that - his behavior recently reminds me of Charlie Sheen's manic episode a few years back (Tiger's blood, anyone?) - but I think the fact at least some of his rants are scripted ahead of time and pass through an editing process makes me think it's more marketing than anything. Though I do think he's under an incredible amount of stress between the album release and his clothing line release, so I think that's taking it's toll.
Is that really the new version of Wolves? I thought someone just edited the versions together?
It might be, but I read somewhere that the only version of Vic's and Sia's parts were from the SNL performance, but apparently the version released today has slightly different verses from them, and the quality is likely above and beyond what someone would be able to achieve from the SNL rip.
Edit: As tristvn noted below, the version that released today is from the original version of Wolves prior to the album's release it's not Kanye's fix.

Also what do you people consider the filler on the album? I Love Kanye, Silver Surfer and Low Lights I guess? 3 out of 18 isn't bad at all and I think Silver Surfer is the only one that's unnecessary.
A CD quality version of the original wolves leaked and people edited together with the one from the album.
Theres one with Vic, Sia, Frank and Kanye's Joseph/Mary verse that's pretty sweet.
Right, but will that be the final version? The album is back on TIDAL, is he still changing Wolves?
Nah, apparently people have had the leaked version of Wolves for a while but never released it till now. There's a dude on some forum that's leaked songs from a bunch of artists for years.

I'd add Freestyle 4, Highlights and Facts. Also I dont like how Father is separated into two tracks. Not calling it filler, it just irks me a little lol.

Freestyle 4 and Feedback are near filler but maybe not quite. Fade too.

I can't wait to get home from work and download the new version of Wolves into what will eventually be The Life of Pablo: Frankenstein's Monster Edition.

For me Silver Surfer and Low Lights are pretty unnecessary, and Facts, Feedback, Freestyle 4, Waves, and Highlights should have stayed off the album. Maybe FML too, I go back and forth on that one. Maybe I wouldn't consider them filler as much as songs that I just don't care for.

I almost replied when you mentioned it last time, but I love FML. Probably top 3 on the album for me right now. Feels like the exact middle between 808s and Yeezus. Weeknd's chorus is my favorite thing he's done in years and the druggie outro is really heartbreaking for some reason. But we're all different.

And Waves is really growing on me.
I want to dislike Waves cause Chris Brown is such a terrible person but he sounds so good on it...
The album is a .275 batting average, and like a .720 OPS. It's serviceable, and it's going to make some good runs at times, but it's not like you're putting up an above 6.0 WAR or anything.

Famous, Highlights and Ultralight Beam are some of the best songs Kanye has ever made.
30 Hours is downright disrespectful with the way he teases three stacks and never comes through.
First half of the album is perfect, second half is above average. All-in-all Kanye delivered a solid album, not a classic, but very solid.
Highlights? Really?
I must be missing something, cuz I'm seeing a lot of people liking this song but it just sounds like trash to me.
Don't you want your dick to have a GoPro? This song is just beautiful; it's like Kanye's telling us all about the dreams and aspirations we didn't know we had.

Ya know, there are certainly tons of flaws I could point out about Kanye's new album, but I'll be damned if I don't continue to play it over and over again.

Out of curiosity, are you playing it straight through each time or skipping tracks?

Playing it straight through, like 5 times already, not sick of it yet.

I skip Low Light and Highlights every time, other than that straight through from Ultra Light Beams to Fade.
