>LR, MBDTF & Graduation are the Ye albums I love. I don't need
>to explain too much. These are just the great Ye albums IMO.
>The skits are annoying on LR though. Still my favorite Ye
>album. Glad he moved away from the skits on later albums.
>Definitely gave those albums replay value. My favorite Ye song
>of all-time is on Graduation.

>808s, yeah I know, wuss music right? Lean album at only 12
>tracks. I skip maybe three songs on this album. I really dig
>the production.

>WTT is the same. Lean album at 12 tracks unless you have the
>deluxe edition and 2 of those songs are bangers IMO. I only
>skip three tracks off the regular version. Production is good.
>It goes overboard with materialism but still a fun album.

>My problem with CD is that it hasn't aged well IMO. The skits
>really hurt this album because the songs aren't as strong as
>they are on LR. There's even a point where you get two skits
>back to back. WTF!!! First half of the album is weak. Too many
>skippers for me. Ye wasn't as good at emceeing then either.
>The last stretch of the album from "School Spirit" through
>"Last Call" is classic though. You can keep most of the first
>half.

>Yeezus is lean and half the songs suck. Not a good combination
>for an album and with Ye working with Paul now, this next LP
>might be even worse.
