    The greatest rap album of all time from the greatest artist of our generation.

    Which doesn’t even account for the this being greatest comeback for any artist ever, following the infamous Taylor Swift incident. The GOAT!

    Ye’s magnum opus. Beautifully textured, sonically diverse, lyrically bombast.

    Wow... this has to be one of the best albums I've listened to recently. Every aspect seems to be so well thought-out. When it comes to production, Kanye West is one of the best. The first five songs are so good that I can't really think of a better track run. The songwritting was good too but there were times when I felt like he was just throwing words around.

    But the thing that I loved the most aboout this album is the transition from "Lost In The World" to "Who Will Survive In America". I was dancing all the time until the song suddenly stopped, and that's when I realized the album was over. The transition was so smooth... ugh, I loved it.

    Overall, one of the best albums I have listened to.    … Expand

    What can I say about this album that hasn't been said already? It truly is the closest thing to a perfect album. I can say I didn't love every song, but my enjoyment of the other songs raises my enjoyment for this project as a whole.

    Perfeito, Lindo, Magnífico. Os feats,as batidas, as letras tudo. Ele é um dos MELHORES ALBUNS DA HISTORIA e salvou a carreira do YE depois do trágico episódio com a Taylor.

    Kanye West's magnum opus. Shows the world what that man is able to do when he is inspired. A magnificent mixture of styles and chores which are amazing makes this one of the best albuns of all time.

    A classic in the making. Youre missing out if you havent listened to this yet, Its one of kanyes best work and i can literally not find a single skip. The only issue could be kanyes "trash" lyrics but that is patched out by the help of the amazing beats

    This album is the greatest album of all time. The story of how the mastermind behind this piece of art, Kanye West, came to make this album proves that Kanye is a, if not the G.O.A.T. The lyrics are catchy and to the naked eye, don't look special but when you think of them, they reveal a deeper meaning. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is the perfect title to describe this album.

    With tremendous features from great artists, Kanye West raises the bar for hip hop and rap. MBDTF includes a great amount of personality and sound. It is clear how West has perfected the music on this album. Every song fits into this piece of work and they work on their own also.

    Un álbum igual de emocional que 808s.
    La producción es excelente, la letra también, y lo que te cuenta este álbum mientras lo escuchas es algo mágico.
    Para mi, su mejor álbum, y uno de los mejores álbumes que he escuchado en mi vida.

    The best album of the 2010s hands down. All songs sound expensive but that isn’t taking away from the hip hop vibe ok Kanye. Dark fantasy is the greatest opening track for Kanye followed with hits such as all of the lights, runaway, Power, devil in a new dress, and more. This album is perfect

    By 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.

    Every song is so intricate and satisfying to the ear, as Kanye shows his narcissism mixed with insecurity. I always come back to this album, as every song is so beautiful. My favorites are Runaway and Bound 2. Such beautiful songs about heartbreak and the struggle of finding love.

    "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" is probably one of the greatest albums of all time. Everything about this album is masterful, and every song is thought out carefully with maximum effort. It's an obvious 10. If a reviewing platform as stubborn as Pitchfork gives an album a 10, you know it's an excellent album.

    probably my all time favorite album. every single song on it is great, ending with kanye's best song, "lost in the world"

    best song: lost in the world

    worst song: devil in a new dress (sorry)

    My all-time favourite album. I remember this album made a huge impact on how I create and listen to music, especially the Runaway short movie. One of the best opening and closing tracks I've ever heard aswell. I quite literally have no complaints on this LP.

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