For me it's the easiest to listen to. There's no skits or interludes. There's a wide variety of styles. You have the soul sample shyt on there. You have the stadium style joints. It sounds large but it was still when he was still mostly producing most of the records. It has some crossover appeal to other genres with the Daft Punk and the Coldplay joints. I also think it's less presumptuous and self important than some of his other albums (outside of the Big Brother track). It feels shorter to me than some of his other albums too which makes it an easy listen. It's only 50 minutes. Late Registration is 70 mins, Dropout is like 75 mins, MBDTF is 70 mins, etc.

Also @Chip Skylark Graduation is only 50 minutes. Late Registration is pushing 80 mins, Dropout is like 75 mins, MBDTF is 70 mins, etc. You can spin the whole album really fast. In today's low attention span era, 50 mins just feels like a way less bloated body of work,.

Thanks! This makes a lot of sense. Ye really has at minimum 4 classics for real.
