Kanye recently revealed the album’s tracklist and hinted at a new GOOD Friday song alongside Chance The Rapper.
He also made a typically bold statement about the project.
This is not album of the year. This is album of the life.

Some people are happy about the name change:
lets be real. swish was an awful album name. Waves isnt much better.. but its better than Swish. Should still be "So Help Me God"

Swish would've bricked, Waves might break.

Some even have thier own conspiracy theories:
What if Kanye made 3 albums.... So Help Me God, SWISH, and WAVES all dropping same day.. 10 songs each...

What if he didn't get rid of Swish and Waves is disc 2...

WHAT IF WAVES IS THE SECOND HALF OF SWISH

While most fans just want to hear it:
Call it SWISH, call it WAVES...call it whatever you want. Just put the album out already. I can't keep stalling for u @kanyewest
