I think those who ranked this album as being 'poor' didn't actually listen to it and voted in spite regarding how they feel about Kanye personally.
However, this is a modern ****ing classic. That is no exaggeration. I am not the worlds biggest Kanye mark, nor am I even a fan of a lot of the artists occupying guest spots on this album, but as a record, this is just excellent.
The production is of the highest quality, each track has great individuality and uniqueness, the beats are as strong and diverse as the mixture of voices on each track.
Kanye not only brings his A-game in terms of production work but also in his rapping, as this is his best release in vocal terms since his debut.
I urge all who have not already listened, to put their personal feelings aside and just listen to this album. Kanye may be an narcissistic prick, but with releases like this he has earned the right to feel that strongly about how great he is.
