Rapper Kanye West released his long-awaited studio album, The Life of Pablo exclusively to TIdal, the subscription-based music-streaming service. It’s an intentionally messy album of many different styles, feelings and artists. There are parts of this album that make you feel like you’re in church, parts that feel like you’re partying and parts that are laid back.

The point of this album is still what it always is on Kanye’s albums: himself. He talks about his faith (“Ultra Light Beams”), his troubles staying away from other women while being married (“FML”) and reflects on past relationships (“30 Hours”). Usually Kanye’s albums stick to a specific style whether it be slow and autotuned like 808s and Heartbreak or with non-stop intensity like in Yeezus.

This the first album where Kanye doesn’t stick to a certain style but instead mixes many different styles he’s used in the past into one album.

The highlight of this album has to be the first song, “Ultra Light Beams.”

This track is about Kanye’s faith in God with features from The-Dream, Kelly Price and a legendary verse from Chance The Rapper.

Chance says “You can feel the lyrics, the spirit coming in braille.”

This is also the first time West has featured a church choir in one of his songs since his first album The College Dropout in 2004.

The only downfall of this album are some excruciatingly bad lyrics from Kanye. Most of the time his lyrics are good but there are some cringe-worthy moments. He makes up for this, though, with catchy beats.

Even though Kanye didn’t hit us with any new styles this album, it’s still one of his best. Instead of sticking to one style, he puts all kinds of styles on this album, giving it the diversity that is missing in rap today.

He raps about himself being a “38 year old 8 year old with rich people problems,” and he’s right.

He’s still got his massive ego, sporadic and obsessive trust in God and for the first time in years, humility.

For everyone who predicted Yeezy’s career was on the decline, he gave us one of his best albums and continues to shape modern music, once again, proving the critics wrong.
