- worst showing yet
I would say hands down, this is kanyes worst album,
compared to some of his others including mixtapes its very sub-par.
Stronger is a great tune hwoever the rest is very weak. I would definatly advise anyone to give this a miss

- Boring drizzle
I was a big fan of Kanye. He produced records that were unique and original. I bought and enjoyed his last two albums but this was so unbelievably disapointing with all the songs sounding the same and seeming like fillers for the only 2 good songs on there. One stronger which is great though that is not even his own tune having taken it from Daft Punk. The second being Homecoming featuring Chris Martin which supplements Kanye's style nicely.
Such a waste of money he's losing his touch and is definatly far from his big headedness.

- Take your time to realise it's a classic
We suffer from banging beats and one-listen hits that last a month then die. Jesus walks - a classic. How many hip hop classics like that are there? This album is packed full of genius and quality. If you are five years old, Stronger and Champion wil appeal to the simplicity in you. If you are forty, they will appeal to the distinguished in you. Each track has the mass appeal with lyrics and beats but beneath you get wisdom, a soul vibe and pure musical genius. I accept this isn't for everbody in the same way that caviar isn't neither is champers. Drink thug rap only if you like. If you like some good juice every now and then, feast my hommies.
Rating: - West at his Best.
A fair bit better than Late registration but not quite up to the standard of College Dropout, Kanye delivers one of the best hip-hop albums to be released in the last 10 years.
Kanye cuts the crap with this album, with no annoying skits every three or four songs this album is a mere 13 tracks long, compared to the 20 odd tracks of the previous albums. Kicking off with the basic Good morning, West sets the tone for the album. Minimilist beats and limited guest appearances, highlighting Kanye's lyrical talent.
The jay-z sample on good morning fits perfectly. The album rolls along nicely (with Champion being a real spirit lifter), coming to stronger, the daft punk sampled hit that i'm sure you have all heard. The next song, i wonder, is classic Kanye west, with him spitting over a soul sample.
Good life sees the first guest appearance on the album, with t-pain singing on the chorus. Akon must have been busy. It's the third single off the album and deservedly so. Next comes Can't Tell Me Nothing, i'm sure you'll have heard that. One of the best tracks on the album in my opinion.
Lil wayne features on Barry Bonds, the purest hip-hop track on the album, but his voice is annoying to me. Drunk and hot girls features mos def and is the most musically experimental track on the album. Mos def sings rather than raps, wich is refreshingly fantastic.
Flashing lights is much like i wonder and dj premier's addiction to everything i am is excellent. The glory is one of the stand out tracks on the album, again showing off Kanye's effective use of sampling, much the same as the college dropout album. Homecoming, as i'm sure you'll know features Chris Martin from Coldplay, a song that has been remastered from when it appeared back in 2004.
Big Brother is, in my opinion, the best song on the album. With lyrics both praising his mentor jay-z and explaining how close the two are, but also how West felt Jay was keeping him at a distance in the early stages of his career. A deep moment for Kanye.
Overall, Graduation is an outstanding album that closely resembles the Dropout. An excelltn product from West, and well worth the wait.
Rating: - Congratulations, Mr West, you've graduated with a third class degree
This is a real let-down. Musically and lyrically Graduation is no where near his first two albums. Musically nothing really stands out on Graduation, the samples are not used to the same effect as before and many of the tracks are either at best boring (Barry Bonds, Flashing Lights) and at worst are a dirge (Drunk and Hot Girls is almost impossible to listen to apart from Mos Def's contribution). Lyrically nothing stands out: the humour of the first two albums is missing as is the sincerity of tracks like Family Business.
So should you buy this or 50 Cent? Neither. Buy the new Common or Talib Kweli.
