I posted my opinion in the other thread, and that hasn't changed after listening to it a few times. There are 2 or 3 good songs with some flow on the album, but for the most part it was one giant production experiment, and on that it excels. Every song has so many production layers to it, that it's actually pretty interesting to hear how he mixed it all in. Where it falls is flow - too distracting where there really is no flow. Either odd yelps, screams, changes of beat, etc. It really gets an A+ on production quality and experimentation, but I think at the end of the day you want some type of melody and it falls fairly flat in that regard. Black Skinhead and Blood On The Leaves are probably the two better songs, but even then, there are interruptions on those. Kanye's done some great things with production, so I really hope this was a blip and he goes back to making songs like Diamonds, Stronger, Good Morning, or Power.
