Ok I think this album is great but wow is it forgettable. Even as a die hard Kanye fan I could not name 5 songs on here to save my life 😭. And I don't really know why that is because the songs are actually really good. Some of Kanye's most underrated music can be found here.
I adore the overall sound of this album. It's still so unique, and there are few albums that match the pure quality that this album had. So many songs on here that mean a lot to me and bangers like Paranoid. It's varied, it's unique, it's Kanye.
My 4th favorite Kanye album. It's insane how different this sounds from the earlier parts of the trilogy. Every song is a classic it's insane. And yes, drunk and hot girls is good and you can't change my mind. It's actually super catchy lol.
Kanye's first album and highly regarded as his best. It's probably his best quality wise, but in terms of enjoyability it's my 3rd favorite of his. Such a fun album that's so full of life. It's gonna lift your mood no matter what, and it's really really good.
Such an enjoyable listen. Just full of life and hunger and bars from when Kanye was still starting out. Not a single bad moment on this album, it's all just amazing. So much variation but done so well.
One of the greatest albums of all time. The 4 million dollar budget clearly went to good use because this album is flawless front to back. One of the first albums I listened to, and one of the few albums that didn't need to grow on me. This was the peak of the peakest artist of all time.

"@fangrlackssense my ratings are based on my personal enjoyment of an album. I had a lot of fun listening to Iceman especially cuz it surpassed my expectations. My score might be slightly lower on a relisten though, but I found it consistently good. But, me giving Iceman an 80 has zero bearing on my rating for this, as this and Iceman are completely different lmao."

On Syrenity's review of The Roots - Things Fall Apart
"exactly it's literally just that it's smooth. But it's REALLY smooth. It's like how the texture of a food can affect your enjoyment of it. And creamy food is generally good, and the same is true for rap. Okay maybe this food analogy wasn't the best but you get the point."

"@HousePlant101 I liked all of the songs with lyrics and about half of the instrumental ones which made for 9/14 songs added. Maybe I sounded too pessimistic in this review lol."
