Sep 4, 2011This is Kanye's weakest album. I found most of the songs intolerable, and the rest of it was simply boring. The only track I enjoyed was the single Love Lockdown, even if it has a similar vibe to the rest of the album.

WillDFeb 5, 2009This album straight sucks...plain and simple. I want my money back! This is not the Kanye West I paid 15.00 to hear.

AnthonyAmatoDec 4, 2008very happy that there is a option to give a zero for an album. if there was ever an album made that was a disgrace to hip hop and deserved a zero, this is one. what a waste of time. when you are not that good of a rapper and you put something like this out, your career should be in big trouble. i hope he stops polluting our airwaves soon with this garbage

UndergroundmysteryAug 25, 2009Heartless, is a maybe upgrade to 1 until i heard it more than twice. Kanye was good until he got his hands on some money and now he wants some more and more and it becomes about money not the music, like it was when he first started sad to see one of my favorite emcees drop down this low.

alexNov 28, 2008Kayne sold out..this auto tune nonsense is getting out of hand

JustinDNov 28, 2008This is the first big failure Kanye West has ever had. Auto tune is ruining rap, and slowly taking the best artists with it.

Sep 28, 2011WHY KANYE! WHY! The biggest WTF record of his career and the auto-tune, don't get me started on the auto-tune. This is his worst and will probably be his worst LP of his career when he's all done. Not to mention his worst producing effort so far. All his greatest attributes go to waste. Sorry folks, just a poor effort from one of Hip-Hop's biggest talents.

Jan 23, 2020Parece ser que ahora se vota con poca puntuacion los albumes que creemos que nos lo merercen.
Gracias fans de Kanye -
Jan 22, 2020The whole album is a joke. Autotune, no talent. I call that album trash, that's it
-
Aug 30, 2021It's such a boring album! That's all, just boring, nothing special. Sorry...
-
Sep 13, 2020Another rapper that seems to have something to say when in fact the message is all over the place.
-
Oct 23, 2020The album brings nothing special, just another attempt to say something original without the power to follow through with it.

Nov 19, 2020Generic music, nothing special, typical Kanye egomania top to bottom, not worth the time.

Kanye West’s fourth album 808s and Heartbreak follows the crowd rather than leads it. Where he steps, the footprints of T-Pain are readily visible. His use of auto-tune throughout the album is heavy, and in songs like Heartless and Love Lockdown its use is appealing.
-
The resounding verdict is that it’s a surprising, but bold and brave progression from last year’s confused "Graduation."
-
It might seem harsh but let's hope he doesn't find too much happiness in the meantime. Loneliness is proving quite the muse.
