    My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is not only Kanye's greatest album, but one of the most beautifully crafted and meticulously made albums of all time, with no downtime and a constant sense that absolutely everything involving it was planned and refined.

From the high, grandiose pianos of Dark Fantasy accompanied by the simple question "Can we get much higher?" to the intense Bon Iver backed finale that is Lost in the World/Who Will Survive In America?, to its running message of the decay and death of the high life of fame and celebrity, absolutely nothing about MBDTF feels like an accident. Kanye hit it out of every park in the world simultaneously.… Expand

    Despite its pornography cover, Kanye shaped his most creative album in his career, beyond the boundaries of Hip Hop, and into the mix of every genre of music. Best rap album in the decade.

    This album is very overrated. People will say this is the greatest record of the 2010s, but it just isn't. TPAB is way better.

    MBDTF 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.

This clearly is a hip-hop/rap album but it also offers moments to get closer to opera-style, impressive electric guitar riffs, a lot of piano, R&B, clapping, pop and beautiful choirs. This is an album that lets the silence have its own room in the record. Overall production is terrific. There are a lot of guests (and a lot that are not even credited) but they all surprisingly find their own place and manage to differentiate from each other. Kanye created an unique balance between long tracks (8 out of 13 are longer than 5 minutes) and short ones (2 out of 13 less than 2 minutes long).

    I honestly can't put higher than an 8.5/10 because some passages sound really unharmonic to me even if I listen to this again and again. In conclusion I have nothing more to say that this album is truly powerful, consistent, clever and varied.    … Expand

    Przede wszystkim wbrew opiniom niektórych krytyków, którzy twierdzą, że MBDTF było powrotem Kanye do rapu nie jest to do końca prawdą. Tak, 808s był albumem popowym, ale nie był wyznacznikiem nowej drogi obranej przez Ye, a raczej pojedynczym projektem, zlepkiem pomysłów które musiał z siebie wyrzucić, a nijak nie pasowały one do rapowej otoczki.

Tak, 808s był albumem popowym, ale nie był wyznacznikiem nowej drogi obranej przez Ye, a raczej pojedynczym projektem, zlepkiem pomysłów które musiał z siebie wyrzucić, a nijak nie pasowały one do rapowej otoczki.

    Kiedy w końcu pojawił się długo wyczekiwany album... jaki to był wstrząs. MBDTF to nie kolejna odsłona rapowej gry Kanye Westa, to nie kolejny "wielki" hip hopowy album. Chociaż słowa, które chcę napisać mogą zabrzmieć jak fanboystwo, mogą wzmóc czujność u niektórych i tak to napiszę - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to TEN album. Album do którego zmierzał cały gatunek i wszystkie eksperymenty Ye, jednymi słowy najlepsze, najważniejsze hip hopowe dzieło jakie powstało. Pierwsze dwa albumy Kanye Westa wyniosły hip hop z ulic na salony, piąty album Kanye Westa nadał hip hopowi rangę najprawdziwszej sztuki.

    Album łączy w sobie wszystkie dotychczasowe osiągnięcia Westa, wszystkie mocne strony poprzednich albumów, od figlarności TCD, głębi LR, przystępności Graduation, emocjonalności i eksperymentalnego podejścia 808s.

    Liryczne Kanye West stworzył dzieło bardzo kontemplacyjne, głębokie i intymne. Występuje tu jako filozof i błazen zarazem, mówi o rzeczach wzniosłych, jednocześnie bywając do bólu obsceniczny. Porusza tematy upajania się hedonizmem, bogactwem i władzą jaką ze sobą niosą, a zarazem zagubienia i emocjonalnego wypalenia. Spanie z setkami kobiet, uczucie tęsknoty i wyrzutów sumienia wobec tej jednej, bycie jednocześnie superbohaterem i łajdakiem.

    Niezwykle pomysłowe beaty/sample, gitary w gorgeous, 21st century schizoid man w Power, niezwykły beat w Devil in a New Dress, Runaway z aranżacją na pianinie i kodą z przesterowanymi wokalami, które upodabniają je do brzmienia gitar był w stanie stworzyć tylko Ye, a to tylko część niezwykle barwnego mikroświata jakim samo w sobie jest MBDTF, popowy odpowiednik kaplicy sykstyńskiej.    … Expand

He knows he’s a bit of an **** but he is 100% unapologetically Kanye West. While he isn’t always the best lyricist, he has some of his brightest moments on this album, and there aren’t any lyrics that make me cringe or want to stop listening. He gets deep enough to boast about his lyrical ability (especially on Power) but he also does a good job of making his messages pretty easy to understand. Every feature does their part, besides maybe the Fergie verse on All Of The Lights, which might be my only true criticism to the album. I genuinely enjoy the album all the way through.… Expand

    MBDTF changed the way I listen to music. It is, in my opinion, one of THE best albums of all time.

    This album is very good. Made Kanye the man he is today. At a time when Kanye was stripped of what he had, he had music. Kanye put forward all of his effort and made sure everyone knew what he could do.

    One of the best albums of all time! MBDTF is the peak album in Kanye’s discovery composed of stacked features and produced by some of hip hops best.

    Album of the decade. Undoubtedly Kanye’s greatest album. A demonstration of the pure artistry we’ve come to expect from Mr West.

    Kanye's magnum opus. The production to this day is unmatched, and the features are all top notch. Difficult to fault, definitely worth a listen.

    Best album of the decade. Runaway is easily my favorite song of all time, even for how long it is

    Pure trash. I hate the sound of most of the songs here, i don't know maybe because we all have different type of music but this one's a trashy album. This should've never existed in the first place. Just pure trash, not even hating.

    This is truly a masterpiece. I made this account just to leave this review as Eminem Stans don't seem to get the point of the song "Stan" by Eminem. This album goes through the darkest parts of Kanye's psyche, with beautiful songs with amazing production and great guest verses. Truly the defining album of 2010.

    One of the best albums of the decade and of the entire music history.
    Kanye's comeback to the mainstream world Made album.
    This lp has an outstanding production from the begining to the end of itself.
    The lyrics are just dime examples like Devil in a new dress, POWER and Gorgeous show the lirically skill Kanye has.
    GREAT ALBUM

    This is one of the most well produced album from Kanye. The lyrics are clever and the features worked really well, but the only problem I have with this is the second half of the album, So Appalled is a track that lowers the energy of the album as it comes after a hard track like Monster. Devil in a new dress is a good track and Rick Ross has good flow that goes well with the beat. RunawayThis is one of the most well produced album from Kanye.

Devil in a new dress is a good track and Rick Ross has good flow that goes well with the beat. Runaway is easily one of his best songs and well produced track. Hell of a life is a song that bored me after multiple listens isn’t good and the only part I enjoyed was the chorus. Blame game is a ok song but the end goes on after a while and gets boring pretty fast. Lost in the World is well produced track and a good use of the features on the track. Overall I feel like this album could have been one of the best Kanye albums but some of these song lowered this album quite a bit.… Expand

    This is pure trash. When he will pay Moby for copyrights? When he will start to do music? This is worst than bieber's music.

    West is far from rap's deftest lyricist but his neurotic grandstanding is compelling and often pretty funny to boot. [Feb 2011, p.84]
