My thoughts exactly when listening to the album. Most of the songs really feel like sketches, or sometimes even a couple of song sketches thrown together. Kanye's worst album lyrically too - it has some moments, but a lot of it is really dumbed down compared to something like MBDTF.

This album feels like an attempt to be post-modern with no real direction - half ideas just tossed together.

30 Hours and no more parties are really the strongest offerings on the album...

and what is with all of these super brief vocal cameos? do we really need 10 seconds of El Debarge or of Andre 3000? It just leaves the listener begging for more with no direction to the song. I don't understand why Kanye thought "disjointed and helter skelter" was art this time around. Yeezus was just way more cohesive.
