After listening to the album all the way through in the car home last night and then again this morning I can honestly say this is Kanye's best album since The College Dropout, and that is a massive claim from a massive fan of his. Anyone who respected what Kanye was doing when he introduced gospel into hip hop in that album should equally respect what he does on 808s, he does rap on some of the tracks but to be honest I don't miss the rapping THAT much (and even if you do he's releasing a new rap album in june).
The point of a concept album is that it shows how an artist is feeling or a change of direction for a while, and this album is both. Brutally honest which may ring true with many people who have been in and out of love, 808s really takes full advantage of kanye's undoubted talent as a producer.
In my opinion, any hip hop fan who is so narrow minded to not buy an album just because someone's not going crazy on every track is exactly the type of person who kanye doesn't need to reach. Anyone else who wants a brilliantly produced, heartfelt, catchy, melodic and genuinely exceptional album then buy 808s and heartbreak.

stand out tracks - heartless, robocop, coldest winter, streetlights, love lockdown, paranoid

there isn't a weak track on there in my opinion if you listen to the album as a whole, to paraphrase a well known phrase - don't believe the bad hype!!

Just how did they decide which song should be a single. With perhaps the exception of Wooden Boat, all of these songs could have been a single. All the lads take a turn at singing lead and all take credit for the combined work. A truly incredible feat, for the best selling band in the country to take 10 years off, not only come back but come back better. If this is a refection of what we are to expect in the future I can't wait for the next album

I bought this album because I really like the track 'Mr Brightside' which is excellent and easily the best thing on the album. Some of the others are ok but I couldn't listen to this from start to finish as it would annoy me intensely. The reason I'm not that fond of it is because I often struggle to see a lot in mainstream pop music generally - it all seems to have either been done before or just doesn't mean anything to me I'm afraid! I appreciate that the band have been immensely successful and I would imagine that if you saw them live it would be a great performance. Not really my kind of thing on a CD though.

Now You're Gone - The Album

Absolutely superb album. Wasnt sure what to expect but this album takes me away into a dreamlike state everytime i play it. Have been using it to train to for the past month and it really is such a motivational and uplifting album. If you want to drift away into another dimension then this album will take you there excellent for cardio workouts really pushes you trust me just try it out and see its given a whole new boost to my workouts in an uplifting and euphoric way. Never purchased an album i like from start to finish but this one has broken the mould absolutely love it top marks 10/10.

How do Disney do it. They seem to have that magic touch with everything they do and this album is no exception. Although my son is only quite young he still loves this album every time I put it on and I have to admit that so do I.

If you have seen any of the films (which I imagine is most of you) then you have to get this album. Time and time again you will be whisked away back to the wonderful world of Disney films and animation. Okay I am rambling but it is a very good album. 5 stars!!!

So so good, Ministry deliver once again, puts me in a brilliant mood every time i wack it on! Loads of instant classics on here and every so often a nice fat slice of pop(you know you love a bit of basshunter really!)

Stop hatin' and start dancing!

This CD is a delight capturing the sparkle and fun of Xmas. It is light classical music at its very best. I play Troika and I know the festive season has begun.
