Why did Kanye re-do Pablo so much, with no remaster of Dark Fantasy?

Dark Fantasy has perfect mixing, I've noticed that a lot of people on this site want every album to sund like a plastic billion dollar pop album.
He was working with dudes like Rza to give it that throwback wu-tang "real" hiphop feeling. Dirty riffs and drums, mixed with "beautiful" orchestras, reverb mixed with clean bars and on. Which is best noted on Dark Fantasy, All of the lights and Gorgeous.

The reason he did re-did Pablo was cause he co-owns the only place the music could be heard too, plus it being part of the marketing campaign.

that first sentence is def not me, im a Wu stan. i grew up on filthy masters :heh:

its weird, almost changes from song to song. All of the Lights sounds great to me, Gorgeous sounds flat. same with Hell of a Life. the snares hit weird, the vocal levels seem to float. i love the music itself, its still my favorite Ye album, but ive always wondered why it sounds the way it does

Its noticeable, I thought it was part of the sound and imo it sounds dope :manny:

I wouldn't say flat, imo it compliments the way he's spitting Gorgeous with reverb and the subject of matter.
I don't perhaps it might be the complexity of mixing/arranging shyt like 3 violins, digitally manipulated vocals, guitar riffs, 808s, real drums etc.

he was probably too busy mixing graduation for the 39th time to worry about it

i do like the dark fantasy sound though, the vocals are great

It was purposely mixed that way to add to the aesthetic of the "Dark Fantasy" theme

TLOP, while I like it, def sounds like a mixtape. The material isn't really worth going back to "master"

It sounds good imo. The only song where it starts clipping for me is Monster, but that fits the song
