    Released November 24th, 2008 following a string of unfortunate events.

    I'll be honest, this is my least favorite Kanye album, though there's some undeniable gems on this project.

    Anyone have any special memories with this album? What are your thoughts on it? Does it still hold up today? What is your favorite track?

    I thought it was wack af at first, but it hella grew on me. I love it from start to finish now (well...except that robocop track), and i definitely think it still holds up today, look at anything else that dropped in 2008, most of it's dated af now, 808's still sounds modern.

    Second half of the album aged the best for me. For a while I only listened to the first half, now songs like Bad News and Coldest Winter are some of my favourite songs ever.

    I remember buying 808s the day it released and listening to it while driving to the airport. The album always takes me back to that day and really the entire winter of 08/09. I loved it all on first listen and it's definitely held up over time.

    Agreed. The 2nd half of the album is my favourite. :hovcry:

    Beautiful album. Another excuse for me to listen to it (again).

    This album aged so well. Street Lights is arguably a 10/10 and Top 20 if not Top 10 Kanye song. Album is very well polished very few blemishes and will most likely get even better.
