well written review but I could not disagree more with this part:

"The guest list on posse cuts "Monster" and "So Appalled" could've been pared down. "

those songs are made awesome by their extended length. and Monster only has three main sections anyway. it's not as overflowing as So Appalled.

yeah so appalled is awesome cause everyone kills their verse and swizz doesn't ruin the hook

.....God damn it. I'm kind of not financially capable at the moment to buy two copies -- one being physical and the other being digital. We'll see, I guess...

Oh, and happy G.O.O.D Friday you fools. :D

Oh, and I did I mention Blame Game is awesome? Can't wait to hear the dirty version of
Christ Rock's
part. The cursing is definitely needed there.

It's a great song. Honestly it's hard to pick songs from the record say "these are my favorites" I think all the songs are great.

I'm sure if I wouldn't have listened to Monster/So Appalled so much before they would be in my top 5. Same with Power and Runaway.

eh, what the heck. my top 5

It's kinda hard to list my top 5 since I've listened to some of these songs so many times before the album was assembled (I listened to Power so many damn times in the summer)

in no particular order.

Power, Dark Fantasy, All of the lights, Monster, Hell of a Life.

but, man, i could sub in at least 3 of those songs with other ones and still be happy.

Still loving the album on the second listen, it makes me want to go back and check out some of Kanye's older stuff now. But a random question, which album art are you guys going to use? I'm thinking about the one with Kanye's head with the sword in it or the big face collage.

It was, but the Darkseid vocals at the end that he added to final mix are song-destroying. I don't even think I'd put it in the top ten of the record anymore.

It's sad because I listened to that off the Runaway rip like 700 times in a row. It was my favorite Kanye track of all time.

Those are the two that I'll end up using. I do like the sword and the crown one too.

best one imo is this:

Overall, I think it's his best album since Late Registration, but I do think some of the songs run way too long (no pun intended). Kanye said he wasn't writing pop singles, but cutting out the long outros to Blame Game and Runaway would IMPROVE the songs. I like the long verse from Pusha T in So Appalled but the RZA part is fat that needed to be cut.

you speak so well
My top 5:

1. Lost in the World
2. Blame Game (grew on me like crazy after I heard the explicit)
3. Dark Fantasy
4. Hell of a Life
5. All of the Lights (yes, even with Fergie :lol)

My top 3 were easy, the last two were really tough to choose, I pretty much just love every goddamn song here.

5. All of the lights (would be second if it wasn't for the laughable last third of the song...)

this is my cover for the early versions of unfinished songs from the album.

I'll be using the simple, understated "Kanye chilling with Phoenix" cover for the full thing.

The one thing I like about the album is there isn't too much filler. The radio singles are appropriate and fit in with the album (unlike some albums).

Man, So Appalled gets better every time I hear it I swear. Album ain't too bad so far (half way through at the moment).

album is absurd. I think I may shell out and buy it just for the hell of it because it deserves my $9.99. Have to support the artist if they put out quality like this.

while I'm here, does anyone know a program that lets you stream from your itunes that is not.. itunes? Basically, I have a mac with all my music on it, and want to stream to my other computer which is not a mac. But, I don't want to put itunes on that machine.
