how can you like MBDTF? it's a meme. terrible, terrible mastering on this thing, a handful of cringeworthy songs, STILL has unsolicited samples on it, and you only like it because of the circlejerk that spiralled out of p4k giving it a 10.
I like it because it sounds good, I don't even know what pk4 is

It's shit desu
Life of Pablo is the patrician choice
You didn't actually say anything of substance in your critique, merely buzzwords and some vague statement that the mastering is bad with no reasoning.

Good album that holds up on repeated listens, but I wouldn't expect a normie to understand.

the mastering is bad because most, if not all of the songs, are clipping with audible distortion.
Also, there's far too much disparity in loudness between the tracks. 'Power' is the fucking loudest thing I have ever heard, and when listened to in comparison to 'Gorgeous', well, I can barely hear 'Gorgeous'. An album should have at least relatively equal loudness across all tracks.
It shows how much of an instant gratification this album is. 'Power' is that loud because Kanye intended it to be a party track to be played at parties. The other tracks are quieter by comparison because they're not party tracks, and it makes up for a terrible listening experience when listening from front to back on headphones, having to adjust the volume every time the track changes.
This album sounds great on laptop speakers because that's exactly what it was intended to be played on. By clueless, impatient listeners who won't settle for anything other than extremely maximised music and will only listen to a few of the most popular tracks anyway (which, surprise surprise, happen to be the loudest).
