On that note, are any of these Good Friday tracks actually album cuts or what?

No. "Monster," and a couple others are supposedly going to be on his split album with Jay-Z that is supposed to drop the week after his own.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watch_the_Throne

We've heard three songs from the new album so far: Power, All of the Lights, and Lost In the World. I'm not going to listen to any more leaks because I think I ruined 808's for myself by listening to all of the demo leaks.

I'm confused. Is it called Watch the Throne or Dark Twisted Fantasy?

Two different records. Watch the Throne is a collab EP with Jay-Z and Dark Twisted Fantasy is the full-length 5th album.

I know I'm a bit behind on the times but I just heard the Power remix and holy poo poo, it's amazing. Also, one of the songs in the OP is a remix of "Gifted" by N.A.S.A. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZB7yswo6a0) which is quite good in my opinion. Just posting it cause I haven't seen anybody mention it.

Edit: If you post links to youtube, would you guys mind posting the name of the video for us guys not in America? I can't view some of these videos :(.

Samples or otherwise electronically produced. Most orchestral sounds in pop music are not made by an actual orchestra.

I agree, though I've never been a Cudi fan. I've liked parts of the Friday songs but I'd prefer fewer features in general, he should drop Swizz at least.

Everyone go buy Runaway on iTunes. The official single version doesn't have the vocoder or the samples which I prefer, but a lot of people are hating on it.

I wish it had the samples, the vocoder sounded pretty horrible live but cleaned up it might have worked well.

Did you listen to the early Clean CQD that was on Def Jam's website? The vocoder part had tons of distortion and sounded awful, I'm glad it's gone. The samples would have been nice but they fit the "hype" of the live performance more than they fit the recorded version.

Oh also, album's out November 22, according to Kanye on twitter.

I loved "I'm So Appauled" when I heard it on a mixtape months ago and was extremely excited to hear an extended version of that beat with Jay-Z, Pusha T and the motherfucking RZA on it, but when I heard Swizz Beats' voice the very first second the song came on, I pushed my mouse towards the Close button on reflex alone and had to give it another try once I got myself ready to hear him.

It's okay if he helped produce something but if I hear his voice on a track I get annoyed for some reason.

It's a fine title. It'd be a lot better if it were just "My Dark Twisted Fantasy", but it's still a great title that fits the theme of the album perfectly (from what we've heard).

I dunno, Dark Twisted Fantasy had a cleaner ring to it; Adding "My Beautiful" just adds a tone of narcissism to it. But of course, this isn't unusual for Kanye, so what am I even criticizing?

I don't mind the narcissism, as that comes with the product, but it's just clunky as hell. I'm just gonna call it Dark Twisted Fantasy for ease sake

Apparenly in a Q&A after a screening of his new Runaway movie, Kanye let it slip that Justin Vernon was involved in 9(!?) tracks on the album. Will it be a genre smashing epic or a confused mess? TIME WILL TELL.
