    In one of the few perfect 10s of this decade, Kanye West seemingly hits everything musically on MBDTF. The production, features, lyricism, and beats make for a beautiful and conflicting listening experience. Arguably the most complete musical album of the 10s’, definitely deserves and will receive listens for years to come.

    This album is a classic! From the instrumentals to the verses and even the features themselves, this album will definitely stand the test of time and is, in my opinion, one of the greatest(and most important) albums to ever come out.

    This album is a game changer for hip-hop history, it might not be anythhing like this in an artistic level, maybe you don´t consier it because of th eguy who made it, maybe if it was made by other rapper you would undoubtebly amazed by this work. best album of 2010s

    The combination of grandiose instrumentals mixed with the brash but broken lyrics makes this album a lyrical, musical, and overall masterpiece. After becoming one of the most hated celebrities after the VMA incident Kanye replied with an album so perfect and so Kanye that, for at least a little bit of time, he was forgiven. The album contains hit after hit with my only criticism being thatThe combination of grandiose instrumentals mixed with the brash but broken lyrics makes this album a lyrical, musical, and overall masterpiece.

The album contains hit after hit with my only criticism being that it ends on sort of a lower note. Where the album really shines, however, is the features. Nicki Minaj on Monster is phenomenal, and Rick Ross on Devil In A New Dress and Pusha T on Runaway are excellent as well. The album hits its climax on Runaway, a 9-minute epic, yet is still able to continue at a high level.… Expand

    Could be Kanye’s greatest album of all time and possibly the 2010’s the only exception being TLOP. These songs hold an amount of grandiose and class with beautiful productions and driving into this dark fantasy is truly interesting and it all works amazingly.

    This is truly a masterpiece. I made this account just to leave this review as Eminem Stans don't seem to get the point of the song "Stan" by Eminem. This album goes through the darkest parts of Kanye's psyche, with beautiful songs with amazing production and great guest verses. Truly the defining album of 2010.

    West is far from rap's deftest lyricist but his neurotic grandstanding is compelling and often pretty funny to boot. [Feb 2011, p.84]
