    I always felt this way, but with Kanye himself backing me up on it, I may as well talk about it now.

    MBDTF is really good, but I don't think it matches up to Kanye's others. Like he said, it's one of his least progressive projects, giving people what they expected instead of what they never even knew they wanted.

    It's 10 minutes too long, he raps about conventional subject matter and I can barely remember the last few songs on it.

    it's better than Yeezus and Graduation but not better than 808s, Late Registration & The College Dropout.

    IMO:

    1. 808s
    2. Late Registration
    3. The College Dropout
    4. MBDTF
    5. Yeezus

    One of the greatest albums of all time. No hyperbole.

    All the albums are great regardless.

    Dark fantasy, runaway and power are tracks that you could put on the best produced rap songs of the last ten years.

    But if you look to what Kanye usually does, experimenting a new sound and then influencing the whole industry, then it's his worst album.

    If you just compare each album without context, then it's easily his best.

    Maybe the OP is trying to pull off another one of these: https://forum.sectioneighty.com/mbdtf-is-a-bad-album.t31227/

    Right?
