I know there's a bunch of people turned off by this project, but I'm copping first day.
Some complaining about how 'late' it's being released but it's no Detox.
how is it "late" if there was never a RD???

Frank Ocean IS on Watch The Throne.
Yeezy was at the Marvin Gaye & Chardonnay shoot earlier playing WTT tracks off his personal laptop. Mr. Ocean is said to be on 2 songs.

[h2]Jay-Z Watch The Throne Listening[/h2]Friday, July 08 2011 9:29 AM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True Story
With Ye in Paris, Hov held an exclusive private listening session for Watch The Throne last night NYC last night. Peep, YN’s faux hawk in the far right corner? Ha!
According to Billboard, Jay played 11 tracks with Odd Future’s Frank Ocean on two. Hov indicated that it took three stages for the album to be completed. He says some records were even scrapped for being too grandiose.
As of now, there’s no release date for the project. The recording process stretched three continents (Australia, NY, LA, Paris) with him and Ye recording entirely in-person. He prefers to not release a traditional single, but hopes to shoot a video for the Beyonce-featured track, “Lift Off

NEW YORK — Jay-Z and Kanye West's forthcoming album may be called Watch the Throne, but soon enough fans will be listening, not just looking, and it will have been worth the wait. On Thursday night, MTV News was among the shortlist of media outlets invited to get an early listen to the power duo's collaborative project.
The listening session was held in the Mercer Hotel, where the New York Post previously reported that parts of the album were recorded. Though it was originally set to begin at 8 p.m., Jay-Z walked into the hotel lobby closer to 9 (word is he was at a Yankees game hoping to see Derek Jeter get his 3,000th hit). The group of journalists followed the rapper up to a suite that had been transformed into a recording studio. Seated in the rear of the room, wearing a Yankees snap-back hat and crisp, white shell-toe Adidas, Hova balanced a MacBook Pro in his lap. After asking those in attendance to introduce themselves, he got right into playing selections from the album, loudly.
Standout tracks included a pair of songs that feature Odd Future crooner Frank Ocean. Jay-Z relayed that he reached out to Ocean after hearing his Nostalgia, Ultra mixtape and wanted him to contribute to his next solo album. After their initial work went well — Ocean appears on one of two songs Jay-Z revealed he has recorded for the solo LP — Hova invited the crooner to get down on Watch the Throne too. The only other guest on the album is Beyoncé, who appears on the resounding "Lift Off," which sounds like it was tailor-made to be performed in large stadiums.
On another particularly interesting song, Jay-Z and Kanye deliver verses directed to their hypothetical unborn sons. (Note: Jay-Z's press representative asked that lyrics from songs not be quoted.) The Brooklyn MC recalled that Yeezy first recited his verse to him at New York's Museum of Modern Art. "I told him I wasn't going to get on it," Jay-Z told MTV News of the song, adding that he thought Kanye's verse, running down his myriad past mistakes, is one of his best ever. "The honesty of it, it's just really cool."
Throughout the album, Yeezy holds his own when rapping alongside Jay-Z, a lyricist of the highest caliber. Other standout tracks that feature the duo trading rap bars include a song whose beat features a chopped up Otis Redding vocal sample that many requested be played again. Another song called "Living So Italian" also got a favorable response from the room.
Jay-Z played over a dozen songs and said that he hoped to finalize the track list by this weekend. He also admitted that the album is actually on its third iteration. Initially, he and Kanye were looking to make a grandiose project with elaborate songs, but they felt that doing so would take away from its enjoyment, so they chose to pare it down sonically.
"It's just so big and so much, you don't want that sh-- screaming in your house," Jay-Z said, referring to their early single, "H.A.M." "If we don't make records that we like and represent the culture, we would be over."
The room didn't start thinning out until near midnight, and as the session winded down, Jay-Z started playing additional tracks, including a song whose lyrics seems to hint that it was produced by No ID. Nodding his head along to the knocking grooves, he also played a song that features Swizz Beatz that he said probably won't make the final cut.
While pre-order receipts of Watch the Throne indicate that it will be shipped on "2011-08-02," Jay-Z and his representatives did not provide a solid release date for the highly anticipated album beyond saying fans would hear it "soon." Keep watching.

1) NO CHURCH IN A WHILE - sick beat with heavy drums… frank ocean sings a hypnotizing melodic hook … jay-z has a great verse… theres a sick bridge with sorta distortiony like effects… sounds like what kanye did with bon iver on monster sort of… there were animal noises in the outro too… probably my favorite song on the album it was @@@%*$* amazing
2) LIFT OFF - really good synths beyonce has a killer hook and kanye and jay both had pretty good verses on it i dont really remember them though… should be a mainstream success… all the +*@!#*@ in the room when nuts when it was playing hahah
3) THAT *$%# CRAZY - HIT BOY PRODUCED its a ridiculous beat sorta like a better version of drop the world and more swagged out… samples blades of glory in one part quoting will ferrel at the beginning and goes “there is one song we will skate too… and one song only…
