Oh no, don't get me wrong- they're certainly among my favorite.
ST17's "The Best of "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy"
> Dark Fantasy (lyrics, musical composition, etc, is beautiful)
> All of the Lights (the beat is genius and the medley of featured guests is a nice surprise)
> Power (beat, chorous in background, lyrics, all make for a great song)
> Runaway (again, the beat and lyrics come together for a beautiful song)
> Blame Game (a beautiful, emotional song)
> Lost in the World (brings great closure to the album by bringing the songs together and the moving lyrics, beat, and vocals are simply stunning)
Overall, I think this is easily Kanye's best album to date. This man may be a jerk, but he is a musical genius when it all comes down to it. There's not a single song I don't like on the album. 808's & Heartbreak and Graduation are a tie for second place. His early work is good as well, but it doesn't speak to me as much as his later work.
