Feb 14, 2016Truly an absolute classic. This is the definition of Kanye, by far his best album and one of the best albums for an entire genre. If you are looking to start listening to hip-hop or have loved hip-hop for your whole life it is a must listen.
-
Jul 22, 2016Love this album. It really shows how different Kanye's contemporary work is when compared to his older stuff. His newer raps have a much emphasis on production than lyrical wit.

Feb 22, 2016I love this album to death. Not a big fan of rap or Kanye's personal affairs but I really enjoyed listening to the songs on this track. From its sound to the lyrics, this is easily one of my favorite albums of all time.

Feb 6, 2014This album is definitely one of the best albums of my generation. Great lyrics, production and features on the album. Kanye brings his talent to the table when it came to songs like "Gorgeous", "Runaway", "Hell Of A Life" & "So Appalled". The production is marvelous. It makes me appreciate Kanye's work a lot more. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. This album is a must listen.

Mar 11, 201692/100. Probably my favorite Rap/Hip-Hop album ever.Kanye West brings us an amazing album here with songs that are emotional, radio-friendly, complex, innovative, and meaningful all at the same time. Say what you want about Kanye West, but the man puts out some really amazing music.
-
Jun 8, 2018One of the best hip hop albums ever (or at least that i've heard).
Lot of influences, for example Iron Man or 21st century schizoid man. Killing beats and good lyrics as well. -

Feb 7, 2019MBDTF is an album where Kanye's reinvention is phenomenal, and the break he took in Hawaii is that of almost miracles. This album captivates hip hop and music for all of its great elements, classical, modern and contemporary. The only issues are slight shortcomings on the last 4 tracks of the album. However the songs from dark fantasy through Runaway there is not a single fault to point out.
-
Mar 3, 2022this is a phenomenal album in every aspect, through out time it was become more and more enjoyable to listen to and was instantly a classic when it was released
-
Oct 25, 2019Probably the best Kanye's album, the one that he worked the hardest on, the best thing about it is, even if you didn't like some song on it (somehow) you will still remember it. Ungodly production.
-
Jan 2, 2020This album is a classic! From the instrumentals to the verses and even the features themselves, this album will definitely stand the test of time and is, in my opinion, one of the greatest(and most important) albums to ever come out.

Oct 13, 2020Has some of the best Kanye songs of all time, such as POWER, Devil in a New Dress, Dark Fantasy, and Runaway, but also a few songs bring it down, such as Blame Game and H*ll Of a Life/

Dec 21, 2020Amazing album but a tad overrated.

Aug 21, 2021Incredible Production! Incredible features! "Devil in a new dress" has this grandeur to its production and Rick Ross did what needed to be done!
-
Sep 2, 2021One of his best albums. Hard to find albums you don’t have to skip any songs!
-
Mar 28, 2022By far Ye's best album. Amazing production as always, an outstanding redemption for Ye when he absolutely needed it. Sadly the last 4 tracks, while being alright, simply aren't nearly as good as the beginning and middle of the album, brings it down from perfect.

Nov 4, 2022This album is amazing, BUT it has been growing tf off of me for the last couple of years. I feel guilty to admit that some tracks just don't appeal to me anymore like Gorgeous and Dark Fantasy. Still, an amazing record, and I hope that my love for this album will come back.
-
Dec 1, 2022absolutely amazing. One of the greatest albums ever produced. The production is amazing and the sounds top quality. Lyrics are not Kanye's best but overall this is his best work.

Mar 6, 2023Masterpiece. The pinnacle of Kanye, it's wonderful and everything he is and how he gives it to us is so nice, to a point romantic and at the same time possessive, I don't know how to explain myself but wow.
-
Jul 18, 2023Words can't describe this album whenever i listen too it i fell like it it goes by too fast when i listen too it i just love it favorite track is Blame Game
-
Nov 29, 2010Don't want to hate on the album, it's pretty good but extremely over hyped. No wonder his ego is so big the way people feed him with these reviews.

Dec 25, 2010Good album. Weird but good. The reason I marked it down is because he tries to sing every now and again and he sucks, but when he's not singing it's awesome.

Dec 11, 2010Some of the songs in here weren't as great, but the whole album overall really satifies fans of Kayne West. Runaway, Power, and a lot others received great ratings and are very rock and roll songs. Kayne is one of the artist of the year, even with the Taylor Swift episode.

-
Dec 1, 2010One of the best mainstream hip hop albums of the year.. I personally like the fact that he acknowledge his faults but at the same time gives the middle finger to his haters and critics...
-
Dec 10, 2010i just finished listening to the majority of it a few minutes ago. it literally made me want to find a review site so i can say this: amazing. i'm seriously not into rap or hip-hop, or whatever you want to call it. and i'm not a fan of Kanye as a person, but i can not deny that he is an amazing artist.
-
Dec 17, 2010This album is great and can only be described as a brand new and original approach to hip hop. Although some songs are quite boring, the mostly brilliant tracks - to name a few examples: Gorgeous, All Of The Lights, Devil In A New Dress and Monster. Power was a great first single from the album which had me hooked for a long time and runaway was great.

Feb 1, 2011The sound of the album is EPIC. I think it would take 3 to 4 years for another artist to top this. The only bad thing would be the lyrics and it being VERY unorthodox,
-
May 8, 2011too damn hyped. too damn long. too damn personal. too damn great. too damn popular. but i liked it though. most of the songs were good. some songs were corny and overly long. but it wasnt a bad album. i liked the creative mind he has.
-
May 13, 2011There are a lot of great tracks on here, "Monster", "Devil in a New Dress" and "Lost in the World" are the best tracks. I could see this years from now still being a good listen but it's not perfect. Tracks "Blame Game" and "Power" are incredibly listenable but are definitely the weakest tracks.
-
Aug 15, 2011Feels a little overrated, a litte overambitous, but overall probably his best work. Kanye is a very talented artist and all his talents shin on this album. It took me a couple of listens before I got hooked.
-
Sep 4, 2011My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy has one of my favorite songs! All of the Lights rocks! (reached #18) I hope he makes songs like All of the Lights again!

Oct 27, 2011MBDTF is artistically the best rap album in a long time. The story is great, yet very weird. But Kanye can do what Kanye wants. The music, although, is not at Ye's peak ability. I'm waiting for more albums like The College Dropout.

Aug 19, 2014Woww. This is really good. He has a lot of different elements,transparent themes. And the subject matter is explored. The music ranges alot which is really awesome. Songs got a funky rythm with some occasionly raunchy (in a bad way rthyms). But all in all Kanye has done a good job.
-
May 27, 2015The only Kanye album I own, the only hip hop album I own. Kanye's willingness to experiment with his music is what I've always loved about him as an artist, and never has this experimental side of his work been so successful as it is on this album. While occasionally you're left questioning how some of his experiments ever escaped the recording studio, the majority of this album is pure gold.
-
Mar 11, 2017This is by far Kanye's best album so far I personally don't think this album should be rated higher than good kid m.A.A.d city for so many reasons, however, it's still a fantastic artistic album that gives us a view of Kanye's thoughts.

Nov 29, 2021The end result is a body of work that pushes hip-hop in a bold new direction and puts Mr,. West back at the forefront of the culture once again.There is no question that this album is a game changer. It's Kanye West's greatest work.

Apr 3, 2021Now, I don't think this is a flawless Masterpiece and concider it to be one of Kanye's weaker projects, but it is still an incredible album. Kanye is such an artist, that even his weaker albums are 8/10s. I can completely see why people love it to death.

Jun 24, 2021Although it sometimes feels over-reliant on features and finishes somewhat weak, My Beautiful Dark Twisted fantasy is still a fantastic hip-hop album with top-tier production.

May 3, 2022While I do agree that this is a great album, it's not Kanye's best. If the second half of this album was as good as the first, I would give it a ten. The second half was substantially weaker than the first to me. Still a fantastic project.
-
Sep 6, 2011Better than Watch The Throne one way and bad in another. Lacking Jay-Z skills but still keeping true to the Kanye format. Good album but could have been better.

Jul 28, 2011Very well produced album, but definitely not the best album of 2010. The high points were very high, while the low points were...very low. I do have to give credit to Kanye's impressive musical knowledge and very well done sampling.
