Kanye West
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

I haven't been around Debaser for too long to know how cool reviews are written nowadays.

Maybe it's enough to say that the album is cool.

Even Kanye is cool, and so is Taylor Swift, cool. But I can easily imagine that not everyone might find Taylor Swift aesthetically appealing just as not everyone might like Kanye West's music and persona. Oh well. This album will certainly not make those who intentionally ignored him discover a new artist. However, those who have appreciated him since he left college will definitely find one of the most ingenious and original works in the modern history of hip-hop. Exaggerated. No, not me... the album.

Rarely on the first listen have I found such a high number of potential singles. To the notes of "Power" and "Runaway," I add "All Of The Lights" featuring Rihanna (who will forgive me, but is definitely better as a guest than as a soloist) and "Dark Fantasy."

That's all.
