This market will resolve based on the Metacritic critic score for Kanye West's next major album, Bully, as recorded one week after release. Answers are inclusive; this market will resolve YES on all answers that are true of the score.
If Bully is released in two parts, the first part's score will be used. If Kanye releases his next major album under a different name, this market will still apply to it, unless in my subjective judgment it really is an entirely different album. (e.g., "Beauty and the Beast" isn't on it.) If it becomes clear the album will never release, such as in the event of Kanye's death, all options will resolve N/A. Otherwise, the close date will be extended as necessary.
Update 2025-05-19 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has indicated they will wait for what they consider the official release of the album (noting a potential June 15th date for this) before the 'one week after release' period for scoring begins. The version of the album currently available is being treated as a preview for resolution purposes.
1,000I'm a bit mixed on how to resolve this - there's no Metacritic page for it, unlike Kanye's other albums, the (closely equivalent) Album Of The Year critic score is labelled "NR" for some reason, but it still has user reviews. Is this still not considered the full release of the album and that's why?

It has received some reviews, though, it's just not on any aggregator. Apparently the official release was originally announced to be June 15th, and this was something like a preview version, so I suppose I'll at least wait for that.
