you forgot to mention how self-indulgent and pretentious it is. granted, that's kanye. i enjoyed most of the stuff on his first 3 albums but nothing here really stuck in my head and if it did it was from another artist. i found myself listening to "monster" more than once. i thought rick ross' opening was the best part and far too short. i found that almost every song was way too long. save for the interludes and a few others, nearly every song was well over 5 minutes
