This is how good it is. It makes songs heard on their own sound better because they are part of the album.
This album is meant to be listened to as an album, which is rare in these days of iTunes and downloads. This quote:
It is so good that I went out and bought Nicki Minaj's album, purely off the strength of her verse on Monster. It is a truly breakout, killer verse.
Fantasy is an idiot-savant smash, an example of a musician overreaching, yet triumphing through dumb bravado and an imagination gloriously unfettered by logic. Kanye actually set out to make the album of the year when nobody listens to albums anymore.
I love:
- The opening of Dark Fantasy, when the first chord hits and the choir comes in "Can we get much higher?"
- Nicki's verse on Monster.
- All of the Lights and the driving beat
- The entirety of Lost in the World. So much love for this entire song. It has everything.
- Jay-Z's verse on So Appalled. "I'm so appalled, I might buy the mall, just to show n***** how much more I have in store."
- Runaway. I thought I would hate it. But I don't. In fact, it's really good.
- Power... aaaayyy-aaayyy!
