Nov 22, 2010This is album is simply on fire...Kanye has reinvented the whole hip-hop/rap scene with this record. He takes on different styles of production, and raps on a whole different level and topic. Also people please stop hating artists do change so don't hate because of it.

Nov 22, 2010It's been a while since I've heard music this good. Took me quite a few hours to listen to the whole thing because I kept replaying the tracks. I love it! Each and every song. Lost In The World is a really cool way to end the album with the spoken word.
-
Nov 22, 2010One of the best albums of all time. Of all time!
Seriously though. Can't believe how good he is. His 4th masterpiece. The beat on 'All of the Lights' is insane. -

Nov 22, 2010This album is exceptional. It is undoubtedly a classic that will appeal to those who like all genres of music, not just hip hop. Those giving this album negative reviews are clearly just concerned with the media's perception of Kanye rather than his exceptional musical talent and creativity.

Nov 22, 2010Only time will tell if this surpasses The College Dropout as Kanye's best album. Taken in total with the G.O.O.D. Fridays 'Ye has been releasing since August, Fall 2010 has proven that Mr. West is undoubtably one of the most ambitious and talented artists of our time. If only his personality would match the strength of his records... 10/10.

Nov 22, 2010A modern classic, I really think in years to come people will look back on this album as one of the best ever made. Anyone who gives this a bad rating, clearly dont have the first clue about anything when it comes to music. I feel privileged to be alive at the time of this album being released. Kanye West is an absolute genius and a living legend!

Nov 22, 2010Without doubt one of the greatest albums of all time. An absolute must buy for any music fan! Oh and all of the people on hear who are giving it 0, are clearly just trolling.
-
Nov 22, 2010Too many rap albums fall into the same trap: too many tracks, too few good ones, lack of variation and originality. This album not only avoids these pitfalls, but hurdles, nay, flies over them. At a cool 13 tracks (one of them being an interlude) that hover around an ambitious five-minute song length, the album is kept concise. Oh, yeah, and every single one of these tracks is pure frigginâ
-
Nov 23, 2010His 5th album blends pop and rap even better than his past attempts. These are some of the best verses we've seen from Kanye. The instrumentation is so futuristic it's hard to call this the best album of the year. It feels as universal as any all-time classic.
-
Nov 23, 2010One word: Amazing.

Nov 23, 2010Kanye West is officially back. One of his best pieces of work ever. No one is currently in his league. The album is well crafted and it is ART. Art, like only Kanye can do it. The production is superb and on point. The masterpiece, classic and Kanye's Thriller!!!! Well done!

Nov 22, 2010Wow. I've never been into rap, nor do I think I ever will be, but this album is an absolute masterpiece and is one for the ages. Deserves to be in the hall of fame of greatest albums of all time right next to kid a, funeral, abbey road, dark side of the moon etc.

Nov 22, 2010THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE ALBUM POSSIBLY THE GREATEST HIP HOP ALBUM OF ALL TIME. KANYE HAS DEFINITELY EVOLVED AS FAR AS PRODUCTION I RECOMMEND THIS TO ANY FAN OF MUSIC IN GENERAL AND IF YOU'RE ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT CREATES MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS ON METACRITIC TO BASH THIS ALBUM THEN **** YOU
-
Nov 22, 2010Unbelievably catchy and awesome at the same time. Lyrics are awesome, I love that he recognizes his douchebaggery, yet still tells us how awesome he is. Monster and POWER are the two best songs by far.

Nov 22, 2010I approached the album with a great deal of skepticism, but give it a chance. I did, and what can I say the album itself is full of win both lyrically and melodically.

Nov 24, 2010Welcome the new king of pop! A completely different breed from 808. Tracks such as power and lost in the world show that kanye is back in career best jesus walks territory. This really is an artist who is willing to take risks and evolve. hate him or love him but lets be honest the man is a genius.
-
Nov 24, 2010why the hell include dot music's (or yahoo music) review they gave take 6that's new album 8/10 and kanye's 6/10 douchebags. speaking of douchebags, let's have a toast.
-
Dec 1, 2010Kanye West even with his high ignorance showed everyone that bad attitude has nothing to do with making good music.
-
Nov 22, 2010

Nov 22, 2010Kanye West's best album. His flow, lyrics, the beats, samples - all top notch. Every song is memorable. This album proves that Kanye's not just a rapper or a producer, but an artist. MBDTF is art. Anyone who calls him untalented, even before this album, but certainly now, is straight up WRONG.
-
Nov 22, 2010One of the best albums of the year and a modern classic in this decade. Kanye has officially become the king of rap as his hero MJ became the king of pop. Amazing.

Nov 22, 2010As a serious Kanye fan, who has all albums and tapes, I can truly say that this album brings out what Kanye does best. Not only do Kanye's lyrics transcend his greatness as an artist, but the beats are unreal. Well worthy of a 10/10.
-
Nov 22, 2010I'm gonna let you finish but kanye west just came out with one of the best rap albums of all time. Look I love the fact that their are people on here still dissing Kanye as a Person. (what a joke) Look at Kanye as a musician. The man is a genius, and he just proved his talent AGAIN with this album.
-
Nov 22, 2010This album is the best of the year. The music is more polished, yet raw. The guests are varied and at their best. The message is complicated and rewarding. And overall, Kanye's verses are on the top, looking down on everyone else. I would hate him if he wasn't right, he is the best.
-
Nov 22, 2010This album brought us fans exactly what we have come to expect from Kanye, a complete departure from his previous sound. Luckily for us this new zone Kanye is in consists of some of the richest production hip hop has seen, the great lyricism, and well placed features that don't outshine Kanye. And to anyone complaining about number of tracks on the album, G.O.O.D Fridays!

Nov 22, 2010this album is arguably the best album of all-time. no doubt that it is his best yet. its written well as a lyricist and a songwriter and maniacally produced. its the most weird and beautiful music I've ever heard. I wish the album had more songs to amaze us. and one more thing...Christian Dior Denim Flow should have made the album!...

Nov 27, 2010Wow, this album is amazing! This is hands down the best Kanye album since Late Registration. Every track is is great, no skips and the massive amounts of guests do not weigh it down nor drown out West. I didn't expect this album to be as good as I thought, I would gladly buy 2 of them as gifts.

Jan 13, 2015Has a few good songs, but the style is repetetive and gets annoying very quickly.
This album has a group confirmation-bias cult following, but in reality it's not that great.
Production was very good, deserving of a 9-10, but the lyrical content and performance of Kanye were Good at best. -
Nov 29, 2010Kanye returns with a very strong actual rap album. This is the album that has stirred inside his head for 20 years. Despite the fame, money, and women, he truly is a psychologically troubled individual who straddles the line between unbridled ego and unbearable agony. He is a black William Burroughs - the "American Rapper."
-
Nov 28, 2010This is a Genius What a great Album. Comes from Kanye's heart. This album is to everyone who has questioned Kanye West's artistic abilities. Very deep, and a new approach to hip-hop. Is this album going to change Hip Hop for good?
-
Apr 26, 2011This album is just amazing! Each and every song is great and only downside in my opinion is that Runaway has a long part at the end were nothing much is happening but slightly annoying noise.
-
May 18, 2011Album of the year 2010 and Kanye's masterpiece. All the 0/10s and the likes are all from the Taylor Swift defence force who still haven't got over Kanye giving her the best publicity she's ever had.
-
Feb 7, 2012Yeezy leaves the country for a year and DEFINITELY comes back with a bang. This album is one of his best since Graduation! He managed to reinvent himself and his music yet again! 10/10
-
Mar 29, 2014For everyone joking around Yeezus, I simply point to this album as a true example of Kanye's gift of making music. This album, to this day is pure brilliance with great beats and a powerful messages that convey the artist that Kanye West truly is.

Jun 29, 2016Best Kanye West album till today. No words to describe. It's just perfect. It's like an album which cones after decades.
Favourite tracks - Lost in yhe World, Dark Fanrasy, All of the Lights, Blame Game, Devil in a New Dress -
May 5, 2016The prolific lyrics, the amazing production, and the sick collaborations all come together to create what is probably the best album of the decade so far. Any user who writes a negative review clearly hasn't understood that he's apologizing

Feb 9, 2011The production on this album is fantastic. Truth be told, if this record featured a better lyricist I would enjoy it very much. Kanye should have stuck to being a producer. That is truly what he does best. His vocals are far too **** and ignorant to give him the kind of credit and reviews he has been getting.

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

Oct 23, 2020The album brings nothing special, just another attempt to say something original without the power to follow through with it.

Jun 26, 2013Guy is such a tool it's not even funny.
He has no talent whatsoever.
Seriously people if you think this is music or that this guy is anything more than a hip-hop hack, you're delusional. -
Mar 26, 2014All hype and no substance.
That basically sums up what I think of this album and of the artist. Kanye West is a rapper who can't rap (can't even enunciate properly), a songwriter who doesn't write songs ("sampling" and using a stable of credited writers), a producer who uses auto tune to fix his garbage.
You know an album is dreck when Pitchfork likes it. -
Dec 16, 2010Ok, I am a big fan of Kanye. I have followed his career. I would not say this album is a disappointment since he has followed in his latest trend of mediocre lyrics coupled with synthesized sound. I am jumping off this band wagon.
-
Oct 2, 2020Unoriginal work, it feels like Kanye was trying to hard but the results did not pay out.

Gracias fans de Kanye -
Nov 22, 2010I used to love Kanye's music, but this album is awful. Some of the language he uses is just downright rude and I believe Kanye should be ashamed of himself. He has lost himself a fan after this album. It was despicable. What appals me even more is the positive reviews it has got from various esteemed critics
-
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.
-
Jan 24, 2020Pure trash. This defines how not a rap album should be. After listening my ear are bleeding.

Nov 23, 2010Doesn't deserve the 98 score, or it's high user score.
More of the same, and it is terrible.
Repetitive, derogatory crap.
I would say I'm disappointed but it's nothing less than what I expected, which was NOTHING.
Crap. -
Jan 22, 2020What is this. Sorry, but it very very bad. I think, so i want to play in basement and garage door openers to play in
-
Jan 22, 2020I don't wanna hear Kanye Talk, where at the bars?. The best past is Nicki Minaj
-
Feb 10, 2011Ouch, my ears! Since when did stealing others' music and shouting at people qualify as creating? This is just another example of meglomania unchecked, a man surrounded by yes-men, the critics falling into that category as a whole. Give me some great Wyclef any day over this.
-
Jan 23, 2020Damn this is so bad. Cant even begin to describe it. Revisited it after all those years but kanye sounds trash no matter what.
