Editorial Review:
Kanye West: Late Registration
Description of Late Registration:
For haters eager to see Kanye hit a sophomore slump--no such luck. Late Registration can't replicate the novelty of last year's College Dropout, but otherwise, this is an impressively more mature and labored-over album. Lyrically, Kanye's only improved a notch but musically, the album sounds incredible, especially with co-producer Jon Brion helping polish the songs to perfection. Tracks like "Heard 'Em Say" (featuring Maroon 5's Adam Levine) and "Hey Mama," are richly textured in their soulfulness while the flint-edge of "Crack Music" and "Gone" (feat. Cam'ron) will appeal to the street-oriented. There's a few duds on here--the sickly-sweet, syrupy "Bring Me Down" (feat. Brandy) being one of the worst offenders--but when the album's good, it's very, very good. In short, Kanye's detractors may not be swayed in their resistance to his charms but not only will his past supporters be rewarded but Late Registration has enough appeal to earn new crowds of fans. --Oliver Wang
Late Registration Reviews:
Sophomore album impresses 
2009-09-27 - Without a doubt Kanye's best album to date. The beats are very vibrant and laid back, which made this the hottest album in 2005. That egotistical [...] knows how to make one hell of an album. Good job Mr. West.
Kanye's Best Album
2009-09-01 - If you sifted through Kanye's discography and put all of the best songs on one album, you wouldn't call it "Kanye's Greatest Hits", you would call it "Late Registration".
Completely devoid of autotune, this album mixes some pretty sweet instrumental music with Kanye's sometimes nonsensical (borderline humorous and yet still inspiring) lyrics. It's by far my favorite of Kanye's albums.
This is one of my favorite albums and I don't even like rap/hiphop music that much at all. If you've never listened to Kanye West before, I'd absolutely recommend this. It's an amazing album and if you really give it a chance it'll become one of your favorites too.
who is gonna give this less than a five star rating?
2009-07-07 - cmon this cd is so good just as good maybe even better than his first every song is classic.
This has to be his best album!
2009-03-29 - My favorite track stronger isn't on here,but this is a great followup cd to his debut. I remember this had to be one of the biggest albums to come out during my sophomore year in hs. Gold Digger was a huge smash, Diamonds are Forever an excellent track(and my 2nd favorite Kanye Song), and Heard em say was an excellent song. I really liked Adam Levine's vocals and thought the video was creative and different. Touch the sky was a great song. It's got a nice groove to it, and the video cracks me up. Overall, I'd say this is his best album that's he came out with. All the tracks are very strong and there's very little filler on this cd. I really thought a hidden gem by Kanyew was Roses. It's an excellent sample and he did justice to the orginial by making it his own. If your a fan of R and b music then this is the album for you to get. It's def. worth buying. I did get tired of it being overplayed, but a few years later I think it's a pretty good album.
NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY 
2009-03-12 - Kanye West should be compared to the hair/metal bands of the 80's, all flare and no delivery, a badly dressed corporate tool and people like him because the music scene isn't producing anything better right now. This guy is a joke in every aspect of the word and his fans will be to embarrassed to admit ever listening to him a few years from now.
