    Could be Kanye’s greatest album of all time and possibly the 2010’s the only exception being TLOP. These songs hold an amount of grandiose and class with beautiful productions and driving into this dark fantasy is truly interesting and it all works amazingly.

    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.

    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.

    AMAZING album! amazing underrated lyricism and amazing production and features, some small missteps like the blame game skit but other than that a perfect album

    Decade defining album of the 2010s. Controversial and influential. GOATED. Beautiful production and sonically appealing.

    Eminem fans you should be banned on here. This is more than a hiphop album, this is a creative masterpiece that will never be achieved again

    Way better than anything Cringenem has put out last decade and will always be regarded as one of the best albums to date

    Best Rap album of all time. Kanye West is at his creative and artistic peak, he’s an **** yet he’s lovable, he’s thoughtless yet thought provoking. It’s truly a one of a kind piece of music.

    By far Kanye’s best work to date, every track is fantastic. Arguably the best album of the decade

    Damn this is so bad. Cant even begin to describe it. Revisited it after all those years but kanye sounds trash no matter what.

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

    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.

    Went back and listened to this and do not believe it has aged well. Not on par with earlier work.

    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.

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

    This album is fantastic. This is my second favorite hip hop album ever, behind only TPAB. The way Kanye brings together different styles of production, features, instruments, etc to create this grand album is astounding. This album is a quintessential magnum opus and represents the most important moment in Kanye’s career. The big middle fingered apology that is MBDTF solidifies his personaThis album is fantastic. This is my second favorite hip hop album ever, behind only TPAB. The way Kanye brings together different styles of production, features, instruments, etc to create this grand album is astounding. This album is a quintessential magnum opus and represents the most important moment in Kanye’s career. The big middle fingered apology that is MBDTF solidifies his persona and what he would mean to the music industry for years to come. 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

    Kanye 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 ****

    Greatest album of the last 25 years. Set up to define the 2010s and should be considered Kanye’s magnum opus

    After being in serious hot water after countless problems due to his behavior, Kanye West had no choice but to release a masterpiece to save his career. So he did that.

    I’ve listened to the greatest album of all time since it’s released and the way this album makes me feel is beyond words. I literally listen to this album every single day. I **** you not. Front to back everyday. While having a life might I add. I can listen to it on repeat and never get tired of it. Such a great moment in history. This will always be a part of my life forever.

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