Aug 10, 2011A fantastic album! Kanye shows his skills lyrically, emotionally, and shows where he is mentally. Luckily, he is in a good place. Even after a year of being out, I still play this often. Truly well done!

Nov 3, 2015The best hip hop album to date. The emotional lyrical content mixed with West's sublime production creates an etjereal listening experience that should not be passed up.

Jul 9, 2011This album is very different to all of his other albums, in fact I would actually go on to say that it is far ahead of its time. This is by far, the best album I have ever listened to. The creativity and the topics that Kanye West brings on this album is just breathtaking. I can't wait for Kanye and Jay Z's next album Watch the Throne!!

Aug 15, 2011Best album of 2010!
I thought no album could be as good as something like "teen dream" of beach house of or "age of adz" of sufjan stevens put there was. -
Aug 4, 2011Best album ever. Every track is amazing and well produced. Although I was not a huge kanye fan before I got this album, I think I am now, and this could quite possibly be the best album ever.
-
May 23, 2013No duds, a couple songs (2) that aren't great, but all songs at least good. Some of Kanye's best work yet, and that's saying a lot. Overall his second best album and one of the best the hip hop world has ever seen.
-
Aug 23, 2011Everyone of these people that have given it a poor review mustn't even like hip hop. F**K off! You obviously have a completely different taste in music. If you don't like Kanye/hip hop, why the **** would you review this?!
-
Aug 29, 2011I personally liked My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy to be honest, I hope that Kanye keeps making good music and keeping his fans happy in that regard.
-
Aug 30, 2011I just wanna quickly say that this album is fantastic, it's like experiencing the wonder world of Kanye. 10 points, Kanye has proved that he is on top of his game, he is a music genius, both in lyrics and production.
-
Sep 9, 2011The album may as well have been called "Kanye West". That's the point of the record here, the rapper/artist points the finger on himself and jumps under his own lyrical microscope and explores the world he lives in from a bird's eye view. Fascinating results.
-
Oct 21, 2012An album this meticulously crafted, this unique, this complex, and this endlessly emotional and thrilling deserves all the praise for generations and generations I'm sure it will get; it's a milestone in hip-hop - bending the genre and making it the personal, soulful thing it always aims to be.

Sep 17, 2011If you dont like this album you are ridiclous. just go buy it and listen again agian again and agian. thanks for the awesome mr west. also i kidnap dogs at night to cuddle with, then i return them later.
-
Sep 25, 2011Man makes record bigger than himself- the prophecy is fulfilled. Stankonia, Illmatic, and The Blueprint welcome the record into their elite tight-knit circle. Instant classic.
-
Oct 1, 2011Kanye West's production style peaks on this record. After his slightly misdirected previous album, he comes back with an incredibly crafted piece of popular art. Fans of hip hop will appreciate the heavy instrumentation, glimmers of soul and occasional gloss. The best album of its genre I have heard for a long time.
-
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.

Oct 19, 2013I'd put this in the top 10 albums of all time and for sure the best rap album ever. Kanye always bring something fresh and this time he decided to make the perfect album
-
Nov 24, 2011simply amazing and epic album, from start to finish the album is original, catchy and also lyrically brilliant.some people doubted kanye could produce another masterpiece after controversies and a mixed reception to 808s and heartbreak but this album is a classic. if it does not win a grammy the sole reason is because of kanyes attitude and stubbornness

Feb 13, 2012Kanye West as good as ever! Best Album 2010.
A perfect mix between electro-pop ballad 'Runaway' , dynamic and energetic songs like 'POWER' and 'All of the Lights' and rocking sounds. Lyrics brilliant. -

Mar 8, 2012I give it a perfect. It had many flaws but they blended so well. He was capable of creating 10+ different sounding songs, but yet put it together as one. Not to mention almost every song had radio play. Not to say that means anything, but just to say it can be playe in different enviromets.
-
Apr 3, 2012I'm not the type to just give out 10's to every album I please, but this is a record that truly deserves it. Kanye went the extra mile to release one of the most compelling hip hop albums of all time, inspiring and ground breaking in every way possible. I'll be listening to this one for years to come.

Jul 21, 2012AMAZING !!! BRILLIANT !!! Before this album had no opinion about Kanye but after hearing My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy I was completely amazed !!!!!
If you don't like hip-hop you have to hear this album because I started to love Kanye ! -

Apr 21, 2014The best album Kanye has ever made. Hands down. In my opinion he will never make a better album than this, Yeezus does not even come close to this great album. There is never a dull moment with this album, all the tracks fit together perfectly, and will go down in history as one of the greatest albums ever made. Kanye West is a musical/creative genius.
-
Sep 25, 2012One of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. Kanye West is a pure genius and it showed in this beautiful piece of art - yes, it is art, not just music. Life-altering stuff on there.
-
May 10, 2013The perfect album. Simply put. Nothing more. Nothing less. This is art. Not hip-hop. Not any genre. Just art. A piece of art that we're lucky Kanye only made us pay $9.99 for it. This album is worth at least $100. But I digress. Its beautiful. In any way.
-
Nov 21, 2012As an artist My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is definitely Kanye West's best work yet. Kanye puts together what he did in his previous 4 albums and creates this master piece.
-

Mar 11, 2013An amazing album, probably the best rap album ever created on the face of the Earth, Kanye West provides an amazing sounding rap album and nails every line of every verse, making this a fun album to listen to. Its absolutely incredible.
-

-
Jan 12, 2013My personal all-time favourite. Some of the best production in the history of rap. The ambition of this album cannot be understated. Don't listen to it as 13 songs, but rather listen to it as one cohesive, beautiful piece of music.
-
Feb 5, 2013This album was an all-time classic from the moment it was released. The very first time I heard it, I knew it was a classic. It was as obvious as the sun in the sky is: nothing like it had been heard before in terms of hip-hop music.
-
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.
-
Jan 12, 2014May be the greatest collection of songs I've ever listened to. Lyrics and production are incredible. If you don't like this album you're wrong. This album will be something that in 20 or 30 years we will look back on and say that it was one of the best of all time. Kanye is a musical genius.
-
Jun 14, 2013Not only is this Kanye's best album (in my opinion) but it's also arguably the gold standard for alternative hip-hop. Every single track on here resonates with me and has a uniqueness about it. There's no filler here, this is a masterpiece. Believe the hype.

Jul 11, 2013Arguably the pinnacle of modern hip-hop, Kanye's production and creativity have reached unseen heights in MBDTF. Seriously, give it a listen, and keep giving it the attention it deserves. This album is damn good.
-
Jul 14, 2013There are two types of people in this world: people who acknowledge that Kanye West is brilliant (even though he may be an a$$hole), and people who are wrong. This album is one of only a couple hip hop records that I can honestly say changed my life, it deserved to be the best rated album of 2010.
-
Sep 17, 2013Is there anything I can really praise about this album that hasn't already been said over and over again? It's career-defining in every sense of the word, and rightfully so.
-
Nov 22, 2013Certainly his greatest work. A masterpiece from a genius artist not only in the art of hip hop and rap but in all of music. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is one of the greatest albums of all time.
-
Jan 18, 2014Kanye West at his prime. This album is a masterpiece on every aspect. This instant classic has raised the bar for hip hop by revolutionizing the genre.
-
Oct 12, 2013Greatest album of all time. Greatest album of all time. Greatest album of all time. Greatest album of all time. Greatest album of all time. Greatest album of all time. Greatest album of all time. Greatest album of all time. Greatest album of all time. Greatest album of all time. Greatest album of all time. Greatest album of all time. Greatest album of all time.
-
Oct 28, 2013The best hip-hop album ever. Took me by surprise if I'm honest. Was blown away when started to listen to it and I just can't get enough. It will probably never get old. Perfect forever.
-
Nov 3, 2013My all-time favorite album. The deterioration of a man (Kanye), but with a hopeful tone. This album is life. If there is ever such a "perfect" album, this is it.
-

Nov 15, 2013Great album. Amazing display of music. Lyric wise it's still a great album and every song is a hit. Not for one second did I not enjoy listening to this album with songs like gorgeous, power, monster and runaway it's hard to not enjoy it. It's no a super long album either, you don't get bored half way through.
-
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.
-
Dec 27, 2013First CD I bought with my own money. Classic! Yep... I have no idea why you would want 150 characters to explain this CD. This is a great release from Yeezy. OH YES finally, now I can post this :D Thank you Kanye, please make more stuff like this

May 21, 2014The best album of all time hands down. This proves that Kanye is a genius. The song Runaway is enough to give this album a 10/10 but, every other track is just pure perfection.

Highlights :

Jan 11, 2016Might be my favorite album of all time, a musical experience like no other. Kanye west is one of the best artists of our century and he justifies that by coming up with a different sound every other year and dominating the music world.
-
Apr 13, 2016The greatest hip-hop album of the 21st century, a landmark moment for the entire rap genre and Kanye West's ultimate statement as a music artist. A true classic of the album art form.

Apr 16, 2017Undoubtedly Kanye's best work and one of the best hip-hop albums of the past decade. The beats are beautiful across the entire album and the lyrically Kanye is on top of his game. The features all perform excellently particularly Nicki Minaj and Pusha T, this album is perfection.
-
Jan 9, 2018There's not much else that needs to be said about this album in 2018. An absolute masterpiece.

Jan 22, 2020This album changed my life, truly a piece of modern art and the peak of Kanye's career
-
Jan 22, 2020One of the greatest albums in music as a whole. A redemption story for the books as Kanye re-enters the limelight after the Taylor Swift incident at the 2009 VMAs with an album full of production and verses of the highest level.
-
Jan 22, 2020Greatest album of the last 25 years. Set up to define the 2010s and should be considered Kanye’s magnum opus
-
Jan 22, 2020Kanye released one of the greatest albums of all time in MBDTF, and it's a shame Eminem fans are attacking its score because he consistently drops horrible ****
-
Jan 22, 2020MBDTF changed the way I listen to music. It is, in my opinion, one of THE best albums of all time.
-
Jan 22, 2020This 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.
-
Jan 22, 2020One 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.
-
Jan 25, 2020Very good album, the best ever. Kanye is a creative genius and it shows in the production of mbdtf
-
Jan 23, 2020AMAZING album! amazing underrated lyricism and amazing production and features, some small missteps like the blame game skit but other than that a perfect album
-
Jan 23, 2020One 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 -
