Screw the haters, the Colberts, and the fake Twitter-ers. This is a great record. Yeah, he spends the whole record wallowing in self pity, but hell, I can relate. The Auto-Tuner? Radiohead used it to buckle and bend Thom Yorke's vocals to better voice his alienation, so why can't Kanye? Sure, it'd make a better EP than an album but with myopia came focus: no skits, no intros, no outros, & no fussy arrangements. Kanye brought the songs and from where I'm sitting there ain't no arguing with "Love Lockdown", "Robocop", "Heartless" or "Amazing".
