Konplay stress:
I really tried to take my time with this album, listening through a few times before having any intentions of bashing the work and dedication he put into it. But I couldn't bring myself to sit back and enjoy a single track on this album! The voice synthesizer is way over used throughout the entire album, and the man's vocal range is less than impressive. Kaney said he didn't care about the album sales or what people thought about the album, but for me that was just another way of saying. haha I'm rich so... more info
A CD for almost everyone.:
It's very enjoyable and fun to listen to. Just about everybody loves it, if it's not all the songs, then it's at least one song that you know and love. If you listen to a song after a while, you will learn to love it. It's a great album with many great songs. I give it only 4 stars because you can get bored of it quickly. Don't let that get past you though....after a week of not listening it, you would want to listen to it again. One of the best albums of 08'!
Not impressed:
This cd doesn't compare nearly to the other Kanye West albums. I was disappointed considering I could listen to all the tracks without skipping on his other ones. All of the tracks sound like he is trying to be T Pain but not so good. Save your money.
Edited CD:
This cd was good but I notice that the cd is edited and it was not posted where it could be seen. Im not a child and would have perferred the uneditied cd.
