Kanye West - Graduation

[liquid]

it leaked onto the internet earlier today. i'm still gonna be buying it, but i thought i'd check it out 11 days earlier. first impressions? it's excellent! a lot of albums recently have taken a while to grow on me but i loved this one instantly. i never really liked stronger as a single, but it's pretty good as part of the album as well.

& because i'm so nice, i uploaded track 2 for everyone to listen to (titled "champion")

click me to listen! (quicktime needed)

[omgitslily]

ahh, i think i'll download a few songs from it then

and cheers for uploading that. i must say i think it sounds a bit boring though :/

i loved his first album, then i wasn't too impressed with the second one so if it continues i shouldn't like the new album at all. oo i'm in a kanye west mood now i'm gonna play the first album classiccc

[mangle]

i havent liked all of his stuff , a few of his songs were okay :]
I like stronger quite abit , i'll give this a listen!

[omgitslily]

i'm gonna listen to about 30 seconds of each song and then delete >.<

You can download "champion" on kanyetalk.com anyway :b .. Along with some others & you can also watch a few live.

i've concluded so far that it isn't as good as his previous two albums actually. it's missing the skits. they were just little touches, but they kinda told a story throughout the album and this album would have benefitted from them i think.

i can see this being another flop for me. i'll wait 11 days & then get it, along with 50. dizzee's album was a "flop" (though it was good, just not good enough by his standards) and i haven't exactly thought the world of stronger - lyrics were by far not upto kanye's standards. i've been listening to a lot of college dropout lately & i just can't see it comparing. can only look forward to 50 cent's and the streets' albums when they come out.

i can't wait for skinner's new album.

& yeah i've been listening to it a bit this afternoon.
kanye is good as usual, but the guests are ****. in the past two albums he's had people like lupe fiasco and twista come on and do some great verses, but pretty much all the guest stars on this are pretty crap. there's also no jay-z on it which i think it really could have done with.

is there any talib kweli? common?

skinner's new album is gonna be ace. he never lets down, he's a bit of a perfectionist like that. the lyrics for stronger aren't up to his standards so i haven't got high hopes for the album. however, fifty cent has released some pretty decent stuff so i'm looking forward to 'curtis' which should be a good album.

i love kanye west - stronger.
so i'll give this a listenn.
