Redefining an Artist, and possibly an Artform in the process.:
Well, let me start by saying that I am a music fan, not a fan of any one genre in particular. This is good music, regardless of what all the "haters" say. Kanye West has transcended his supposed genre with this release, and I cannot thank him more for it. High Points: Tracks 1-7, 12
Low Points: The only thing I don't like about this album is Lil Wayne's verse on track 10, but I don't like anything he does, so that is to be expected.
Diffrent, Unique, Great Kanye:
I think this CD is one of Kanye's best, I would even go to say I like it better than his last Cd, "Graduation". I like the fact that he expermintes with diffrent sounds, but yet still has great lyrics. If you truly like music, not just types of music, I think you would like this CD
Awesome!:
Wasn't sure i wanted to get the cd after hearing how stuck up Kanye can be but his music was great. I hope he can turn a new leaf.
Konplay stress:
I really tried to take my time with this album, listening through a few times before having any intentions of bashing the work and dedication he put into it. But I couldn't bring myself to sit back and enjoy a single track on this album! The voice synthesizer is way over used throughout the entire album, and the man's vocal range is less than impressive. Kaney said he didn't care about the album sales or what people thought about the album, but for me that was just another way of saying. haha I'm rich so... more info
