Thoughts?

I don't think it's as good as either of their last solo releases, but still a very solid album. Good listen all the way through.

Good album. None really stood out to me. The one with Beyonce (can't remember the name) will probably be the biggest single.

Is it officially out yet? I cannot wait. I heard Otis the other day for the first time on the radio and I honestly thought it was one of the best songs I have ever heard; at least in quite some time.

Is there anything that you like / don't complain about? All I ever see is you ripping on things (e.g., "Oh that movie sucked" or "You thought that movie was entertaining?!" or "This CD isn't that good")

Just asking.

I think it's a very solid album. As auto said, it's an album you can listen through instead of skipping around. Big fan of "Who's Gon Stop Me". Best song on the album, imo.

Production-wise, phenomenal. Lyrically, average at best. And Kanye is my favorite of all time.

It's not a classic, but it's nowhere near a dud either.

Gotta Have It is my favorite song at the moment.

I think Jay-Z actually outdoes Kanye lyrically on this album. So many tight lines. Kanye also brings it though.

Every track is solid, production is top notch and average lyrically, not much substance.

I was waiting to see what a few of you on here had to say about it before I picked it up. Probably going to have to get it now.

Every song is good, no song truly stands out. Maybe Otis or Murder to Excellence.

I'm gonna buy the deluxe CD tomorrow. Probably my two favorite artists right now and of all time so I'll scoop it up. Already listened to it and it's great.
