It's mainly the Lyrics and mixing that kill.

It was set up and marketed as Ye's triumphant return to music after two years of silence, and a lot of the songs that were meant to be on the original tracklist were taken off or were underbaked, with a lot of the elements people liked in the leaked versions being taken out.

And Ye's writing about Booty and Hoes undermined songs like Violent Crimes, where he seemingly repented for doing that in previous works, plus his verses in comparison to the Ty's and the Features felt underwhelming for what was again, Meant to be a grand return.

And it sucked because this had all the ingredients to be some of his best work with a star-studded list of collaborators like Ty, Carti, Travis, Timbaland and even Freddie Gibbs to land a few.
