Kanye West - Dark Twisted Fantasy

just in terms of songs that plain don't work, nothing really beats out "Dark Fantasy", although the verses on "All of the Lights" rival it.

Still think both the hate and the love are overblown; this is basically a decent Kanye album with a couple of great songs on it released in a year where most high profile music was out-and-out garbage.

remember when this was the album with no singles? anyway, i think "all of the lights" would've had potential of a classic stadium song if the verses weren't so bad/self-centered

somethin' wrong
i hold my head
classic? no
my verses bad

lol

ilxor otm

they closed down the two borders i used to go to :(

ha yeah that lyric feels like a period piece

"All of the Lights" becoming a pretty big radio hit is a little surprising (although unless it makes a big Hot 100 surge this'll still be the first Kanye album with no top 10 hit), but a few months ago i started hearing "Live Your Life" on the radio ALL THE TIME again as a recurrent and in that context it makes sense that a retarded cousin of that song like "Lights" would do well.

"all of the lights" >>>>>>> "live your life"

lol ship i had the same experience w/ "live your life" -- i was very puzzled

i know isn't it weird!

on the other hand it was better than having to hear the singles off the new t.i. album

I still feel like "Lost In The World" could be a hit. possibly needs a remix or something; but the hook is so catchy and singalong-ready! and the beat is mad-propulsive, like some shit from a car commercial or before a sporting event starts. GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON this hasn't happened yet?!

(bon iver backlash)

yeah i think i said this somewhere way upthread but "lost in the world" is the only song i can remotely imagine doing well as a single besides the 4 tracks announced as singles before the album's release

i thought "paranoid" would be a big hit too tho

maybe Lil B will remake it and have a hit

"Based In BasedWorld"

I still feel like "Lost In The World" could be a hit. possibly needs a remix or something

it's basically ALREADY a remix of a Bon Iver track, tho, isnt it?

Well, considering the original is just one line repeated ad infinitum, it's a bit more than a remix.

so does anybody still listen to the best album of 2010

yeah the big boi album's great, still play it lots!

This album is still pretty good, even though it's not nearly the masterpiece most critics claimed it to be.

All the singles kill, though.

compared to the singles from his other albums?

I'm pretty sure he's never going to to "Gold Digger" or "Love Lockdown" in my ears and I'm okay with that. I like these singles more than I like the Graduation and College Dropout singles ("Jesus Walks" and "Flashing Lights" excepted; I like those as much).

(his best album is still 808s)

there is honestly nothing i hate on ILX more these days than clicking on a thread to see new posts and the only one is some pointless and not at all interesting or funny markers picture post

congratulations, that's probably the most content and personality you've brought to any of your last 50 posts

Sort of a dorky reggae-ish cover of all of the lights but I like it:

Probably like it because it tones down the histrionism of the original which at times becomes overbearing... but on the other hand it's also sort of pointless.

This symphonic cover is awesome tho

It used to be one of my least favorite songs on the album and it's grown on me lately... I think I'm starting to like this one even more than Monster regardless of how inane the verses are.
