Lost in the World - Not really a big fan of this. This song has easily elevated itself into my list of favourite songs. I love the simplicity of the production and the sample of Aphex Twin's Avril 14th. Blame Game - The first time I heard this song, I instantly fell in love ! From the production to John Legend's soulful tones to Kanye's raw poetic lyrics to Chris Rock's fantastic section towards the end of the song, I cannot describe how beautiful and honest this masterpiece. Hell of a Life - As a bit of a rock fan, I was happy to hear that it has an influence to the production of this song. Runaway - Yet again another grower - a bit lengthy but a lovely song with a haunting instrumental 8/10ġ0. Devil In a New Dress - Love the flow of this song and both Kanye and Rick Ross shine 9/10ĩ. So Appalled - It's ok i suppose, pretty much an album filler to be honest 5/10Ĩ.
Rick Ross has limited contribution but should get more. From the haunting instrumental to the eccentric verse of Nicki Minaj. Monster - Monster basically describes itself. But nonetheless, great song with great production. All Of The Lights - Great song but the inclusion of all of those people (10 in total !) seems to go to waste - they could've been utilized more effectively. Sends me chills whenever I hear it and people may only think of it as 1 minute and 2 second interlude that has been placed there as a filler, but the inclusion of it on the official All Of The Lights video shows its importance. I must have repeated this about 10 times when I first heard this. The strings on the instrumental is gorgeous and I wish it would never end. All of the Lights (Interlude) - Only one word could describe this - beautiful. Love Dwele's voice and input and the last minute and a half is my favourite part 9/10Ĥ.
Love the darkness infused with electronica and it is easy to get quite hypnotised with this song, impossible to refuse its beats. At first I didn't see what the fuss was all about but Kanye, Kid Cudi and Raekwon all bring something to the song but it is an album filler at best 6/10ģ. You initially think that it will be a slow song but when the bass kicks in and Kanye starts, you know that this is going to be a typical head-nodder. Dark Fantasy - Love the intro and the chorus as the voices harmonise beautifully. Here is a track by track review of the album to give you a little insight:ġ. The production of this record is fantastic and you can tell that a lot of time and effort has been placed in this. I have always been a big fan of Kanye West since falling in love with his 'College Dropout album' so I knew that I wouldn't be disappointed with this album.
Personally before I purchase an album, I listen to it on YouTube to make sure that I liked the song.
