I'm just upset that half the album is previously released already. And please, don't give me that bull shit "he will master it!!!" I don't care about some slight changes in production or some adlibs or some auto tune the songs are basically the same thing. I do love Runaway, Power and Monster though. I just wish all the leaked tracks he put on a bonus disc or something. he has a TON OF MATERIAL. TON TON TON!!!!!! He could have easily put on 15 tracks of ALL NEW stuff and then remastered the leaked stuff for a deluxe edition disc.

I wonder which version of ATL will be on it; unless its some big production with all 11 artists on it. I mean the Rihanna version leaked in full and then the '115 FLAWLESS EDIT' leaked with Drake and Tony Williams. And there's a version with Fergie floating around the net. The version with Drake was an early demo of it. All I'm aware of is a tiny (we're talking 7 second) snippet of the version with Fergie. The Rihanna version is the final, and it hasn't leaked yet. There are only hacked together versions of it smashed up with the previous leak. The final version includes the 11 artists he mentioned, though the vast majority only provide backing vocals (for instance The-Dream can be heard in the background in the beginning of the snippet from Runaway and Elton John will only be on the piano, he won't be singing). For an example of how most of the artists will be used, listen to the version of Lost in the World from Runaway. The women's voices you hear in the background when Kanye sings "run from the lights, run from the night, run for your life" are Alicia Keys and Elly Jackson from La Roux. Alicia is pushed to the left channel and Elly to the right. He claimed in the interview with MTV after Runaway aired that we haven't really heard these tracks before, but we'll only know how true that is when it leaks. I know for a fact that the final version of Runaway is 8 minutes long and includes the vocal samples from his live performances. Rumor has it the final version of Lost in the World features completely different drums. There's even a snippet going around. And Rick Ross might be on Devil in a New Dress.

It comes with 5 covers. That and the previous one are the only 2 confirmed.
Rumor has it that iTunes will have multiple exclusive bonus tracks:
See Me Now (ft. Beyonce & Big Sean) Chain Heavy (ft. MIA) Momma's Boyfriend Power (Remix) Pure (ft. Mr. Hudson)
I want it to be true, cause I REALLY wanna hear Momma's Boyfriend, but we'll see.

George Bush said --------- He called me a racist. I didn't appreciate it then. I don't appreciate it now. It's one thing to say, 'I don't appreciate the way he's handled his business.' It's another thing to say, 'This man's a racist.' I resent it, it's not true, and it was one of the most disgusting moments in my Presidency. My record was strong I felt when it came to race relations and giving people a chance." -- One of the most disgusting moments in his presidency?

Kanye responded back and was very polite! ----------- "I think we're all quick to pull a race card in America, and now I'm more open. I went through the same thing that he went [through] and now I really more connect with him on a humanitarian level because that next morning when he felt that, I felt that too."

Mama's Boyfriend has been confirmed as an iTunes bonus track, with scratches from DJ Premier, as has See Me Now, though it's significantly different from the previously released version, including a new verse from Big Sean.
Oh, and this leaked. At least the clean version. IT'S INCREDIBLE. Final version of Dark Fantasy is amazing, All of the Lights and Lost in the World are legendary, and Blame Game and Hell of a Life are great.
P.S. Rolling Stone's review is out and they gave it 5 stars, a distinction they have given to fewer than 20 albums in the last 20 years, including Kanye's own Late Registration.

This will still probably be my least favourite Ne album. I appreicated 808s, loved Gradation and thought Late Registration was strong. This is just so dry, boring and out of touch with the passion he displayed in his past work.

What Matt Lauer said...the worst moment wasn't that event, that left thousands of residents stranded, but the fact he was called a racist by a pop star.

The album received a perfect 10 from Pitchfork.com, the first non-reissue since 2002 to get that score. I picked up the deluxe edition, and I must say, the packaging is great. But the mastering of the album sucks. It's way too loud. And it turns out Mama's Boyfriend is not an iTunes bonus track. See Me Now is the only bonus, and it is essentially the same as the previously released version, only with a verse from Big Sean.

I honestly feel like this is his worst album to date. It pales in comparison to his past albums. Even the performance of both of his singles speak for itself .

The album is pretty good. I listened while cleaning and doing work, so I didn't really get to focus on it, but I did enjoy it. The Chris Rock phone call wasn't needed and I wish the short version of Runaway was also included (but I downloaded it anyways) and another disc of bonus tracks, but I guess we got a bunch of free songs I can just put on my iPod anyways.
