The reviews [all over the internet] were right. This is an a fantastic effort by Kanye West. It's definitely one of the best album of 2010, and I'm saying this even though I've listened to less than half the album.

The album's sound is simply so grand and orchestral - grandiose and bombastic, almost in your face, angry, yet restrained. Simply brilliant.

So to the dude who said "Wah lao, Kanye West also buy" when he saw me take this to the cashier earlier, well you clearly haven't heard the quality of this album's production. It sure beats the K-pop or Bieber music that you listen to. To say the least, its definitely more passionate at its delivery.
