I quite enjoyed the tunes and lyrics. It's not my usual style, but there's a lot of depth to explore here. I could do without some of the irritating sketches in-between tracks. But this was uplifting and pretty much hit the spot on an optimistic blue sky day. The gospel overtones were particularly welcome. It's didn't half drag on though. I'm not sure how it all went so wrong for Kanye.

I was hoping to like this as I quite liked Late Registration, and assumed his reputation came from these early albums. But then the good stuff on LR was by Stevie and Curtis. The fake 'rebellion' while rapping about expensive watches, 'Benjamins' and b*tches. I don't find the vocals / flow that interesting. This was disappointing. And, again, too long. Ye-awn.
