I'm thinking my top five is something like this:

1. POWER
2. Runaway
3. All of the Lights
4. Bound 2
5. Lost in the World

My favorites from the albums not represented in my top five are probably "We Don't Care," "Touch the Sky," "Flashing Lights" (Graduation is tough to decide for), "Paranoid," and "No Church in the Wild."
I just wanted to be one of those ghosts

With 3 songs in your all time top 50, do you think "So Help Me God" will dethrone your current favorite album (which if I recall right is either Yeezus or MBDTF)?
Yeah, like I'll be disappointed if the new album doesn't reach my top 10 albums of all time.

Apparently the album has been renamed SWISH. Not a huge fan of the name, hopefully the music will be better.

I agree. I'm hoping the title is an acronym though.

That might be just a freestyle though, might not be on the album. I'm hoping it will be though.

North-North West?

Also given Kanye's ego, I feel like a Jr. is in order.

My prediction: To keep Caitlyn Jenner's former name in the family, and also to pay tribute to one of Kanye's favorite superheroes, the baby will be named Bruce Wayne Adam West. :mrgreen:

(CAVEAT: I have no idea whether Batman is actually one of Kanye's favorites. Just assuming.)

This album is definitely going to drop with no prior announcement. That's just the most Kanye thing Kayne could possibly do.

So Kanye announced he's running for president in 2020. Maybe that's why he's not dropping the album, he's focused on politics now

That was the most awkward, hypocritical, egotistical thing I have ever seen. I think he realized this and then ran with the easily-headlined "I'm running for president" line so that everyone would look past how completely and utterly shit the rest of the speech was.

Maybe who cares. The fact that you took that speech so literally is unfortunate.

People starving for new material from their prophet may like to know that he released some stuff on Soundcloud (a remix of "Say You Will" and an apparently unfinished new track):

Yeah and he's been giving his songs to other people like FourFiveSeconds and Piss on Your Grave. Hype has died down a little tbh. Album coming out in 2016 (hopefully)

I like the song. I still don't think anything he's released that's presumably gonna be on SWISH is great but I'm still excited for the album. You can tell he's experimenting with his flow a lot. At various times during "Facts" I got a Drake and a Kendrick vibe with his flow.

Only One, Wolves and I Feel Like That are terrific songs IMO. There's a chance Wolves has been scrapped though :(

The beginning of the song (a sample maybe?) was actually really good. Hope that ends up on the album. Not feeling the rest of the song though. Just feels lazy.

Consequence of Sound is reporting that Kanye's new album could be out as soon as February. Normally I'd be more skeptical, but seeing as they broke the LCD Soundsystem reunion months before it was officially confirmed, this could actually mean something.

http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/01/k ... each-week/

Additionally, Kanye appears to be releasing new music every Friday again, just like he did before in the run up to "MBDTF". The new song he's released today sounds really good, as does the snippet of another song he's shared. Nothing mind blowing, but much, much better than the quite bad "Facts".

Over a year after this topic was first posted, it finally appears that Yeezy season is, indeed, approaching.

Agree. Certainly hoping it's not the best thing on SWISH (if it's on SWISH) but I actually feel excited for his new album for the first time in ages. Feelin the vibe.

FOR REALS THIS TIME
The good news: A really close release date.

The bad news: He's really going with "Swish" as the title, which is infinitely less cool sounding than the working title "So Help Me God".

Kanye just released "No More Parties in L.A.", a song with Kendrick Lamar.

It's amazing.

https://soundcloud.com/kanyewest/nomorepartiesinla

Kendrick's verse is great, but then Kanye comes along and releases some of his best verses ever. Also, the production (from Madlib no less!) is absolutely on point.

All been scrapped Image

Still might be GOAT album though. No More Parties was really dope.

Edit: Just noticed Wolves is included :D I guess that makes me feel better. Still hoping for I Feel Like That CDQ cos that's my favorite song of all time prolly.

Pretty happy with the tracklist. "Real Friends" and "No More Parties in L.A." are his best songs since "Yeezus".

Better name for sure. That aside, I'm not entirely sold that he's releasing the album on February 11 or whenever he tweeted he would. I'm also skeptical about the tracklist for the same reason.
