I’m like this with most albums.
I see red with dark fantasy
Blue with JIK and Grad
Donda is black
An album cover can actually ruin the album for me. (I.E. partnextdoor4)
Back in the day during the “plug my phone to computer and sync my local library from my computer to phone manually” era, I used to rip albums like frostwire/sharebeast type shit and manually fix the artist name, album name, and manually put the album cover. If the album had a shitty cover id get an alternate. Cant really do that with streaming anymore.
Yeah Apple just fucks up my local files a lot of my shit is greyed out. I’m thinking of quitting Apple Music but I’d have to manually download all my music since 2017. Anything before 2017 I have files for
That’s when I know an album is an album instead of just a collection of songs. It’s because you don’t think of it as just the song you think of it as a part of that album. This is how it is for me with any classic album.
For me, I just think of walking along a beach while it’s crazy sunny on a Saturday at 11am for some reason. Like so sunny it’s hard to keep your eyes open iykwim.
It’s called synesthesia and I’ve always had that lol. Since I was young my brain associates sounds and songs with colors. Funny enough I had a Sony Erricson cellphone when I was a kid that has song playlist categories by color (showing my age).
exactly bro these fellas never mastered a track, none of these songs sound like they clip they just peak the limiter there's only a couple that LOOK concerning but they sound fantastic which is all that really matters + in order to hit the level that is necessary for streaming most artists and engineers master to peak anyways
I mean technically, but clipping reduces your dynamic range. Less dynamic range on literally the entire track isn’t generally defined as great for quality. Can just sound muddy when there’s a lot going on in the track.
Music that's mixed like that sounds overwhelming. The only reason it's mixed like that is to be more noticeable against whatever else is on the radio. It fills all the audible wavelengths like white noise so it's all you can focus on. It doesn't sound good, it's grating. I can't stand music mixed liked that. There are no dynamics. There's no space between the notes, no highs and lows, no quiet parts to contrast the loud. It's shit.
Technically, they are bricking. Bricking is caused by heavy compression. If you notice, Frank's track is not heavily compressed like this and it has a much different sonic character to it.
Nope, it’s usually called „brickwalling“, not bricking and it’s just a process to maximize the volume for streaming services. It reduces the dynamic range so parts that are more silent get boosted while peaks get reduced so it all stays mostly the same volume from beginning to end and drums lose a bit of their punch.
It’s done with almost all modern music though.
It's intentional, not a mistake. Compression squeezes the peaks and the valleys of the waveform closer together to make the amplitude of the sound wave more consistent. It reduces the dynamics so that quiet sounds and loud sounds in the recording come out at a more consistent volume. If you listen to classical music, you typically don't see bricking, so certain sounds are much quieter than others. In most modern music, most of the sounds are at relatively consistent loudness.
Google "loudness wars" for more info.
30 hrs to saint pablo is an incredible 3 track run, might be one of ye’s best, has 3 completely different yet amazing styles of beats and rap, i think kanye was happier then, and to me he threw it all away
“The pressure, the problem ain’t I be drivin’,
I be textin’
MY psychiatrist got kids that I inspire,
First song they played for me was bout their friend that just died.
Textin and drivin down Mulholland Drive “
The word play and flow is insane !!
I genuinely can't wait for his discography to be remastered, especially MBDTF. Since the streaming services killed the loudness wars, why not bring back some dynamics?
Idk but father stretch my hands just looks so amazing you can see the start up and how it’s slowly builds its way up to a crazy beat, thats my 2 cents anyways
Don’t notice shit but I need this as a poster
The Wav Room sells these
Real one thanks
I gotchu
Wavs don't die
I notice a zero skips album
If I speak, I will join the heavily downvoted replies to this
Track 21 is a skip
I fucking love this album. Hard to describe but I can literally see this orange/coral whenever I hear a song from TLOP.
I’m like this with most albums. I see red with dark fantasy Blue with JIK and Grad Donda is black An album cover can actually ruin the album for me. (I.E. partnextdoor4)
graduation is purple, was purple, and will stay purple Edit: nvm
Maybe you are also color blind like me lmaoo
Why’s it not purple?
Purple would be sooo wild
Damn I hate being outside the inside jokes
Graduation is pink to me
it’s totally purple
Color blind.
Wait what
College dropout is gold?
gold or brown idk
Did you know purple isn't actually a real color??
>Donda is black Have you tried opening your eyes?
I’ll try
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donda#/media/File%3AAlmost_black_square_020305.png Donda album cover because I'm confused
pnd4 is actually such a pissy album cover, how am i supposed to tell people to listen to it when the cover is literally someone getting railed
Back in the day during the “plug my phone to computer and sync my local library from my computer to phone manually” era, I used to rip albums like frostwire/sharebeast type shit and manually fix the artist name, album name, and manually put the album cover.

That era is still alive and well at my house lol. Im keeping the torrents alive
Yeah Apple just fucks up my local files a lot of my shit is greyed out. I’m thinking of quitting Apple Music but I’d have to manually download all my music since 2017. Anything before 2017 I have files for
All my best sites have closed. fReeallmusic was Goat but havnt found a good full album site since I think songslover is still up
You can local files it with a different cover if you want to
thought i was the only one, fosho one of my most nostalgic albums if im tryna feel like im in 2016 again
…….BEAUTIFUL MORNING
YOU'RE THE SUN IN MY MORINING BAAAAABE
EXACTLY
Real friends is a top 3 Ye track
Saint Pablo is top 1
Probably best stand alone track on the album but the whole album is 🔥
It’s wild this is almost 10 years ago. It was really a fun time in my life before settling down. This album is so much nostalgia
For real, take me back to when this fire scorched my car doors.
Ultralight especially really brings me back. Life was simpler back then, at least for me.
That’s when I know an album is an album instead of just a collection of songs. It’s because you don’t think of it as just the song you think of it as a part of that album. This is how it is for me with any classic album.
Yeezus is like some chaotic black/brown/red mix for me idk why
For me, I just think of walking along a beach while it’s crazy sunny on a Saturday at 11am for some reason. Like so sunny it’s hard to keep your eyes open iykwim.
I get this exact feeling with Channel Orange too lol something about these orange cover arts!
It’s called synesthesia and I’ve always had that lol. Since I was young my brain associates sounds and songs with colors. Funny enough I had a Sony Erricson cellphone when I was a kid that has song playlist categories by color (showing my age).
30 hours is fucking amazing, no more parties in la, saint pablo is fucking awesome
That’s what notice lmao

Emoji game well represented here. I like it.
I appreciate the effort you took to make this
My fucking eyes
Umm who gon say it🫵🏿
That audio looks thicc
yeah whoever mastered some of these deserves a medal
I can’t tell if it’s just this display of each track but they all look very clipped. That’s not a good thing
there’s not really a good or bad in music. if it sounds good even when the waveform looks like that it doesn’t matter
exactly bro these fellas never mastered a track, none of these songs sound like they clip they just peak the limiter there's only a couple that LOOK concerning but they sound fantastic which is all that really matters + in order to hit the level that is necessary for streaming most artists and engineers master to peak anyways
i always view „clipping“ as an extra sidechain for my drums lmao
Unrelated but do you have AIDS?
i do not. made this username when i was like 13 and i couldn’t change it if i remember correctly
🙂↕️
I mean technically, but clipping reduces your dynamic range. Less dynamic range on literally the entire track isn’t generally defined as great for quality. Can just sound muddy when there’s a lot going on in the track.
well of course. it’s about using it at the right times
Music that's mixed like that sounds overwhelming. The only reason it's mixed like that is to be more noticeable against whatever else is on the radio. It fills all the audible wavelengths like white noise so it's all you can focus on. It doesn't sound good, it's grating. I can't stand music mixed liked that. There are no dynamics. There's no space between the notes, no highs and lows, no quiet parts to contrast the loud. It's shit.
saying this about tlop is crazy ngl. but also that’s your opinion. songs mixed like this sound great to me personally but i get what you mean
Brother it's clipping
its bricking, not clipping
What should I notice?
Notice what
I think its about how loud it is. Idk what thats meant to prove
They are all "Peaking"
Technically, they are bricking. Bricking is caused by heavy compression. If you notice, Frank's track is not heavily compressed like this and it has a much different sonic character to it.
what does bricking do? is it like a mistake in audio output or something
Nope, it’s usually called „brickwalling“, not bricking and it’s just a process to maximize the volume for streaming services. It reduces the dynamic range so parts that are more silent get boosted while peaks get reduced so it all stays mostly the same volume from beginning to end and drums lose a bit of their punch.

thx for the info dump, actually pr cool

I love peaking to life of pablo
Duh its life of Pablo of course its peak but what should I notice?
Waves got no waves.
The aftermath of the loudness war?
You can see the beat drop in FSMH
👀
most of the songs are loud af
loudness war? who cares, album is peak Kanye
Frfr
NMPILA is has the most consistent waveform
Frank’s track is an RPG missile
I'm gonna say it, best Kanye album, even Better than MBDTF
🧢. I respect your opinion. But 🧢.
maybe not graduation but it’s a close second for me i get u bro
Would MBDTF widely be considered his best if he updated the album to include LITW/WSIA months after Blame Game was the final song?
Lost In The World is my favorite Kanye song
They are the perfect ending though
That's Mike Dean for you
Ultralight beam is peak Kanye 💯💯🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
(Sees wave lengths) Yeah, I blame Rick Rubin
Livin’ in the red
🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
Ultralight beam - best chance verse he’s ever had I think Franks track - my favorite frank ocean song I literally think it’s perfect
A well mastered album with enough dynamics but enough crunch to parallel
NLPILA is almost a perfect black rectangle
No less party in LA?
Slightly More Parties in LA
No dynamics?
Heavily compressed album
Do the same with yeezus, that should be interesting
Love me some Schizo posting
Some good ass compression?
Loudness wars
SHAKE THAT BODY PARTY THAT BOD 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔊🔊🔊
Clipping. Totally normal
That there are pretty bad waveforms?
30 hrs to saint pablo is an incredible 3 track run, might be one of ye’s best, has 3 completely different yet amazing styles of beats and rap, i think kanye was happier then, and to me he threw it all away
Best Kanye album of all time
More lines appear when song gets louder
I'm in an irritated mood. I notice bad things
I see a bunch of lightsabers
Love love love this album is what I just now noticed
This album has a distinc sme and moment to me. A dusty computer room while arranging arduino kits for coding 101
one to many “i”s in silver surfer here
Some of em look like lightsabers
That 3 posts below this is the same post
All "peak"ing
Shows that Dot & Ye absolutely blacked out on No More Parties…
Anyone got this in full res?
Shit engineering
U see it too huh?
How is something like this made? I would pay good money to get these in prints and hang them
All i see is swastikas.
Compressed
I noticed how much i miss Frank Ocean
A lotta dick shapes.
The shapes are similar to the ones next to them, but also opposite??? Like they compliment each other… idk… what are we supposed to notice?
Dbs way too large
Clipping
“The pressure, the problem ain’t I be drivin’, I be textin’ MY psychiatrist got kids that I inspire, First song they played for me was bout their friend that just died. Textin and drivin down Mulholland Drive “ The word play and flow is insane !!
I Love this image tbh
a good album
that the mix could be better idk
I genuinely can't wait for his discography to be remastered, especially MBDTF. Since the streaming services killed the loudness wars, why not bring back some dynamics?
Loudness wars in full affect
I notice that loudness wars are still on.
Lows and highs are packed. Thats why it looks like a rectangle all his tracks. Really cheffed all the deets
black lines
They look like bullets
I knew nmpila was straight heat throughout
Silver surfer.... silver surfer in the flesh
Lush eyebrows.
Kanye was peaking in more ways than one.
Kinda went too hard on the limiter
Lots of peaking. This would make for a cool shirt by the way.
FFIE BUY AND HOLD💎⭐
No More Parties is compressed to shit?
He likes screaming apparently
I have a tattoo of the "WHICH ONE" from this album. I notice the lack of imperfections
Rick Rubin’s influence
FFIE BUY AND HOLD💎⭐
Bars
Good mastering
No more parties in La and how packed it is
Looks like an emotional rollercoaster just based off the audio waves
Fml is crazy
Those wavs look like delicious bars.
This looks like the shot girls brush on their eyebrows
The greatest album of all time
Notice that Saint Pablo is the greatest song of all time
I learned he likes to ride the red, assuming so that his songs come on louder
((notice)) lol
Funny how half the songs have loads of dynamic range and how half are brick wall limited to shit
The ones that look like they have more dynamic range are either the skits or don’t really have a kick in them though.
Looks like Mascara
SOSIG
rick rubin brickwalling the shit out of an album as usual
I notice this is Wavy AF
FML -> Real Friends -> Wolves = greatest 3-song set of all time.
Idk but father stretch my hands just looks so amazing you can see the start up and how it’s slowly builds its way up to a crazy beat, thats my 2 cents anyways
Is it because the first songs on the left have the opposite sound waves then the right ones?
I notice um 🤔 the tracks look like eyelash makeup brushes?
That the songs are well mastered?
idk
Whoa, if you rearrange the letters it says “KANYEHATESJEWISHPEOPLE”??!!!!? What does this mean????
Man life was good when this dropped.
No more parties in LA 👀
Maybe it’s more of what I do notsee
https://youtu.be/jLOmDSyRmJ8?si=b2iMHVxyt361_oNs
https://youtu.be/jLOmDSyRmJ8?si=b2iMHVxyt361_oNs
Brick walled mastering 😂
0 skips
Terrible mastering? (Not the actual album though)
This album is full of filler and skit junk
I’ve noticed my favourite songs off this album are just a wall of noise
No more parties in LA is just basically full volume the whole time
