This ambitious behemoth may be easier to admire than to listen to Taking things to the next level is one of hip-hop's great cliches, an achievement that West can comfortably claim West has long since abandoned comedy skits on his albums, but he's filled the void with repeated choruses and lacklustre instrumental sections The only downside here is that tracks stick around longer than they really should. It's probably time to admit that he may have a point He’s exciting once againĬlearly, Kanye West thinks he's a genius. Kanye tries a little of everything here, doing it all in his own inimitable style. It's the best thing he's done since his game-changing debut. Everything simply works, and as a result, Fantasy is a joy to listen to This might be the first album in which he's truly lived up to his potential in every way - as a rapper, as a lyricist, as a songwriter, as a producer. This is not just West’s best album, it’s a keen contender for the most ambitious LP in hip-hop history but once again he's managed to take his adversity and turn it into perhaps the album of the year What's indisputable is that he's one of rap's, and popular music in general's most consistently brilliant voices. West isn't claiming to be flawless anymore.
Kanye west my beautiful dark twisted fantasy deluxe edition how to#
His recent troubles have taught him how better to be a victim, how to suffer more beautifully and fruitfully than ever This record’s only flaw is that its scale is so awe-inspiring it tends to paper over any weaker cracks This may very well be his masterpieceīoundaries are jumped with impunity – rock, disco, funk, soul, electro, hip-hop – all genres are grist to Kanye’s musical mill There is no weak link there is not a single misstep (and this is a 68-minute-long album). My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy finds its creator in complete control of the chaos swirling inside his vivid imagination With My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kanye West has lurched to the vanguard of modern mainstream music. It is a work of quite unique brillianceĪ magnificent, headspinning, audacious workĪ genuinely great record. Not only his defining work but a work which redefines the genre in which it stands, as well as the benchmark for the concept of the album in general. It may be too early to proclaim, but this is comparable to a Purple Rain or a Thriller There is simply not a single record out there this year to match this for scope, audacity, vision and quality The effort to canonize My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy as one of hip-hop's all-time high points is already underway, and I'm confident that Kanye's new album can weather the backlash that all potential classics must confront Kanye’s long-awaited opus, a work of art that sees him finally reach the potential that was clear for all to see in College Dropout It is the heart, soul, and humanity of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy that ultimately marks it as the defining pop moment of 2010 Kanye's man-myth dichotomy is at once modern and truly classic Never before have we heard something like this it's an album that demands to be listened to and one that rightly sees West enter the all-time hall of fame with no argument Sets the bar so high that the album becomes something that will be talked about for years to come. One of pop's gaudiest, most grandiose efforts of recent years, a no-holds-barred musical extravaganza His most maniacally inspired music yet, coasting on heroic levels of dementia, pimping on top of Mount Olympus It’s Kanye West’s greatest work and not only does it prove that his name deserves to be in any greatest-of-all-time discussions, but it changes the way we have these conversations There is no question that this album is a game changer.
Nobody else possesses the combination of hubris, imagination, neuroticism, and drive it takes to make a record like this
