Thanks I noticed the Hell Of A Life synths, wow the runaway really hurt my ears on full blast, I was blinking everytime the piano was being hit

alright well i couldn't find the thread that had an epic list but from what i remember:
skip on dark fantasy
vocals are WAY too loud of gorgeous, it actually hurts(cudi)
can't remember about power or aotl
monster nicki's voice supposedly is unbearable, i can never get that far along in the song to verify though (i hate it )
so appalled skip at :14 that was "intentional", the beat is super muddy because it is overly compressed
diand is amazing basically
runaway: go turn your ipod up all the way, plug in headphones and then play the song. you will lose your hearing. the keys in the beginning are way to loud and then they get super quiet
hell of a life at the end the synth becomes much quieter but i think it was intentional personally. also a clip is kanyes voice when he says "turn" in the beginning twice. and "town" later on. "sweepstakes" sounds muddled
lost in the world is supposedly bad at the end

Yep Cudis voice is too loud on goregous , I hope the guy that mastered this , doesn't do a KanYe album again but it's what ever still a classic !

tbh it kinda tarnishes the album knowing that the mastering was done poorly. but anyway it's not necessarily "overmastered", just poorly mastered

The monster hook, lost in the world chants, Swiss cheese on so appalled, Dark fantasy intro, plus the volume levels are fucked up

This.
Especially Monster. I had to switch it with the single version because listening to it with earphones / headphones just became too grating.

Listen to it with some good headphones, or just really loud on shitty laptop speakers. Turn up Monster loud and it crackles. That's just one example, even Kanye's team know it was mastered like shit.
