I'm listening it now for the first time, and I'm at Drunk and Hot Girls.
so far I liked every track exept for wayne's part of barry bonds, who only told us how good he is...

I'll tell more when everything's listened :p

ok so here it comes:

so alright,

the album starts off good with ‘Good Mornin'’ and ‘Champion’. both tracks are real kanye tracks, bringing back the good old feelin' of the previous albums.
Then there’s ‘Stronger’, which I liked, because it has a unique sound. Never heard a song like that (if it comes to sound) in hip-hop before. I like tracks that are unique.
I didn’t like ‘I Wonder’ too much, though it wasn’t that bad. I just didn’t feel it. But if you’re listening though all of the album the track’s ok.
After the below average track there comes ‘Good Life’ with T-Pain, which reminds me of Biggies Juicy. Juicy always cheers me up, so does Good Life. I like it very much. I can’t really describe the sound. It’s not really funky, or a club banger, but it just makes you bounce a little and it just really cheers you up. Just like that good old Juicy track.
‘Can’t tell me nothing’ is a nice track track, very laid back. With a sample of Jeezy’s laugh, which I like. That laugh is like the only good think Jeezy ever did :p
Next track’s ‘Barry Bonds’ with Lil’ Wayne – No comment…
After that there’s the track with Moss Def, ‘Drunk and hot girls’. didn’t really like it that much, because it’s more singing than rapping, didn’t like the flow that much. But just like ‘I wonder’, it’s good enough if you’re listening though all of the album.
‘Flashing lights’ is a nice chilly track with a deep bass, with Dwele. Just an average track.
Now we’re off to the last 4 tracks. ‘Everything I am’, ‘The Glory’ and ‘Homecoming’ (with Chris Martin) are real Kanye tracks again. I like all of those 3. If you liked most of the previous tracks from Kanye’s albums, you’re gonna like these.
And there’s the grand finale, 'Big Brother'. This track is dedicated to his big brother, mentor, Jay-Z. If it’s not the best track of the album, it’s definitely very close to it.


So, after fucking up the track with Nas on Hip-Hop is Dead mister Kanye West brought another nice album. Above average in my opinion.
Make sure to give it a download and listen at least once. And if you’re a fan of Kanye’s first two albums, don’t hesitate to buy.

downfalls like that are the reason on almost every good album to prevent it from being a classic :p
