JosephANov 28, 2008I think it sounds great, to me very much one of the most interesting and bold releases of 2008; very original & unique. I like it a lot.

danielwDec 11, 2008Album of the year, IMHO. In time, this will come to be seen as hip hop's Sargent Pepper, an album that extends the range of an entire musical idiom. This is a hip hop album, to be sure, but one that seems to have breathed in elements of myriad other musical styles and integrated them into its DNA. I can't stop listening to it.

Nov 14, 2017Mr. West once again redefines mainstream music with this stellar, now classic project, 808s and Heartbreak. This album has had a major impact on production, and the use of the classic TR-Roland 808.

Oct 4, 2017I honestly like this album more than dislike, but some of the songs on it are AWFUL. With only half-decent production, really hit-or-miss autotuned singing, and really lackluster lyrics, this is one of Kanyes worst. Still not as bad as Yeezus, tho! 6/10

Feb 14, 2019Kanye's pain from the passing of his mother and break up with his fiance are clearly shown on this album. The influences are apparent, and they drive Kanye to try a new style of sound that was not preceded, bringing auto-tune and electronic sound to the lime light.

Aug 9, 2018Inspiring and catchy is the best way to describe this wonderful project by Kanye West.

Sep 7, 2019Very influential no deny, but his voice ain't the greatest let's be real.
Best Tracks: Welcome to Heartbreak, Paranoid, Love Lockdown, Pinocchio Story, Coldest Winter, Heartless, Say You Will.
Worst Tracks: Robocop, Bad News, See You in My Nightmares -
Nov 24, 2020This is a very interesting and a cool effort of Kanye into pop. But due to the repetitive nature of the album, it felt like it went on and on. You can see this in the opening track. The album is great production wise but I prefer Kanye's albums that are closer to the hip-hop side.
-
Oct 25, 2019One of the best Kanye's album, heavily underappreciated, deserves more love
-
Apr 18, 2020The emotion from Kanye West is really strong and as for the production, now that s**t is deep. All of those giving the album negative ratings, Kanye is obviously going to change the style in his albums otherwise it would become repetitive so him singing isn't a bad thing.
-
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.
-
Dec 2, 2020When a young heartbroken rap star tries to write a sentimental pop album 808's and heartbreak is what you get. Even if the lyrics and beat seem simple or repetitive and the autotune is overused it all contributes to the mood of the project. This is far from Kanye's best but I still enjoyed it a lot.
-
Mar 8, 2021Whilst I understand what Kanye was doing here, this album just doesn't appeal to me as much as his previous 3 do. It's definitely not bad, it just doesn't reach the greatness of his education themed albums.
-
Apr 16, 2021I don't really like this album that much. It's just not my style. But I can respect that it's shaped this decade's music for the good
-
Apr 6, 2021this album is a 8 this album is a 8 this album is a 8 this album is a 8 this album is a 8

Oct 2, 2022another great and classic album and even though the album is a massive change for Kanye's style he almost perfects it again with a few mishaps though
-
Sep 8, 2021my comfort album, i love this. Underrated imo but i can see why ppl dont like this so much. We cant forgot that 808 was probably the most influent album of the past decade, abusing the autotune
-
Sep 19, 2021this album legit is a masterpiece. influenced a generation of music too. The Vibe ye creates is something you can only get while listening to the album.
-
Oct 12, 2021THEE MOST INFLUENTIAL ALBUM OF ALL TIME. I don’t get how people think this album is mid the album created current rap/hip hop and tracks like paranoid, love lockdown, heartless, welcome to heartbreak, and street lights are amazing songs, all S tier yeezy in my opinion
-
Nov 25, 2021This album literally saved my life, it's so emotional and melodic, one of the best works by Ye.
FAV TRACKS: Welcome to Heartbreak (ft. Kid Cudi), RoboCop, Bad News, Coldest Winter -
May 22, 2023A classic very influential emo album, I love everything about it. Favorite song: Coldest Winter

May 3, 2022My least favorite Kanye album gets as high as a 7, that's a testament to how talented he is. Nothing really wrong with this album, just doesn't suit my taste much. If you like autotune and moody music, this is totally for you.
-
May 17, 2022This was a great album. It is influential and enjoyable to listen to but the best part is it is a memorable stamp on Kanye's career
Best songs- Say you will, heartless, amazing, Love Lockdown, street lights, Pinocchio story -
Nov 23, 2022overrated as **** Below-mid album that gets recognition just from kanye stans.

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.
