    Despite the frequent overtures to grandeur, spectacle, and machismo, these songs are limp and flabby.

    Vultures 2 represents a tipping point for West’s methodology of pushing the limits of a deadline, resulting in songs that sound either half-assed, such as the too-cutesy “Promotion,” or simply incomplete. Which, in some ways, might be the point: Like the first Vultures, this one leans more heavily on vibes and aesthetics than substance or emotion (other than self-pity, which is fully on display throughout “Husband”).

    Vultures 2 feels like second helpings of a memorably distasteful meal. Despite Ye’s boast on “Time Moving Slow” that “I rewrote the ending,” it has fewer ear-grabbing samples than the first volume.

    In its own perverse way, Vultures 2 is emblematic of 2024 — it is loud, brash, utterly devoid of substance and almost certain to be lauded as Kanye West’s latest masterpiece by his rabid legions of stans.

    Ty’s soulfully melismatic voice remains an asset throughout, though as on his frequent guest spots with other artists, he feels rather anonymised. It all makes for another paradoxical West album: bloated and occasionally focused, tired and occasionally futurist, morally redundant with enough humanity to supply a fraction of redemption.

    Flat and unbelievable, Vultures 2 makes so little impact it's forgotten almost the moment it's over.
