![Kanye West - グラデュエーション [Graduation]](https://cdn2.albumoftheyear.org/100x0/album/427497--graduation_013217.jpg)
One point higher than the original because of Bittersweet Poetry
Didn't blow me away, but a pretty good album and doesn't have a single track that I dislike. Very consistent from start to finish
The hooks on most tracks are awful and very repetitive and the beats on most tracks are extremely bland and boring, why did this album escape the studio?
Favorite track: Tranquillo
Least favorite: Most of the other ones
Thanks @rbntlly* for the recommendation this album was amazing
Favorite track: Take a Look (At Yourself)
Least favorite: La Bien, Le Mal
It's not mind blowing, but consistently pretty good throughout
Favorite track: Mercy
Least favorite: Higher
Definitely not as good as his older albums, (though that is very hard to replicate) but this is a MASSIVE improvement over the Vultures albums and Ye's first listenable album in almost 5 years. My biggest complaints is that some of the tracks feel unfinished (especially near the end of the album, though I do enjoy some of the late end tracks) and some of the tracks at the end sound like they unfortunately have AI
Favorite track: ALL THE LOVE
Least favorite: LAST BREATH
Great album and a definitive upgrade over Food & Liquor II (and I assume this is way better than Lasers, though I haven't listened to that album) Some tracks on this album are filled to the brim with amazing lyrics (looking at you, Mural)
Favorite track: Mural
Least favorite: Chopper
Listened to this album shortly after it released, will never play it again
Does have a few tracks that I don't care for, but a lot of amazing songs on this album and has some of hip-hop's best
Favorite track: The Way I Am
Least favorite: Remember Me?
It does have its fair share of bangers, but overall extremely bloated and there's a lot of mediocre tracks
Favorite track: Yah Yah
Least favorite: Marsh & Stepdad
I really like the first 5 tracks on this album, but I really don't go back to the rest of the album except for Lil' Ghetto Boy
Favorite track: Fuck wit Dre Day
Nothing on this album blows me away but it's consistently pretty good with high replay value and overall great production
Favorite track: Feel The Fiyaaaah
Great album that has a lot of really good tracks, this album has still aged really well nearly 45 years later
Favorite track: Thriller
Least favorite: The Lady In My Life
There are a few pretty good tracks on this album, but most of the tracks are bad
Favorite track: PROBLEMATIC
Least favorite: Most of the other ones

On Farixn's review of Dr. Dre - 2001
"I agree that this album is very bloated, the 2nd half has a lot of mid tracks and a lot of unnecessary skits (at least the 2nd half has The Message that song is one of the best on the album) If 2001 had around 12-13 tracks instead of 22 then I would have this as one of the best rap albums of all time"

"@elias0269 I just listened to this album for the first time 2 or 3 days ago, so my rating may not be final. I could definitely see myself upgrading it"
