I used "great" in a loose sense to be honest. I enjoy his first two albums a lot, more for the production than anything else.

I can't even really get into his production (from what I've heard at least). I find it just... competent. I mean everything is very professional sounding and whatnot, but there's nothing distinct or special about it to me.

"Touch the Sky" and "All Falls Down" are probably my favourites, as well as "Heard Em Say".

I just gave a listen to these three. "Touch the Sky" and "Heard Em Say" were sort of okay I guess, nothing I'd particularly want to go back and listen to again and again, though the outro on "Heard Em Say" was kind of nice. "All Falls Down", I'm sorry to say, I thought was awful.

I don't mind. Like what you want

I don't even rate Kanye that highly, I just find his music easy to listen to and enjoy in a very cheap way.

I can't even get there with him. He doesn't seem to click with me on any level, not even on a catchy, gets-stuck-in-my-head level. I got a hold of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy a couple weeks ago in an attempt to give him another try, listened to it several times, and literally can't remember what a single song on it sounds like.

I listened to Late Registration last night. Two words. **** me. I can't believe it took me this long to listen to it.

Completely agree on that album.

How? Explain how anyone can dislike that album?

I dislike it because every aspect of it, from the songwriting to the production, is boring and forgettable. I've given it a few listens in an attempt to understand what so many people are raving about, and each time has been a very tedious listening experience.
