Yeah True Blues sent me a pic of his copy and the pics aren't blurred out. I thought it was a possible change done for the Canadian release but I guess not, like he also mentioned there's no gold trim either.....I'm looking forward to picking my copy up tomorrow.

 

[sohi 23]

u think theyre gunna rerelease this with more songs eventually or should i just cop now?

 

[scotthallwithapick]

That explanation for All of The Lights is mind blowing

 

[rhester]

Ye' is spittin on "Gorgeous" 

 

[falcon4567]

What's the over/under on sales so far?

 

[heatpinoyboy]

Hope the deluxe is still available at my BB tomorrow..

 

[po2345]

Picked up my copy today!

PO

 

[binman3k3]

Im from Canada, so I scooped mine up from HMV. I talked to a buddy of mine who said he got his from Best Buy and his copy was blurred out

 

[antoekneeo]

Favorite track is by far is  "Gorgeous", the beat, and Kanye's verse

.

Yeah, I'm in Canada, and mines the exact same. Must have had something to do with the Canadian distribution.

As far as I know, HMV and Sunrise are the only 2 places that don't have the blurred copies.

well we americans will never get it this man.. its not the artwork that was offensive but what people think/made it out to be which is offensive its art man!!!

 

[cragmatic]

Wasn't the part he did of Power in the Runaway video supposed to be on the CD?

I bought the Deluxe today, even though I wasn't happy with how much of it wasn't new to me

Only Kanye album I haven't bought was 808's. Other than that, bought every one on release date.

Is it just me or do Monster/So Appalled feel SUPER outta place on this album. Don't get me wrong, I love both songs, but before that it just seemed like the album kind of has a theme to it, and those 2 songs do not fit it at all.

All pitchfork ever does is take the consensus of message boards like hipinion and dishes out a score, and they were touting this as the best of the year/landmark hip-hop album and pitchfork followed suit by giving it a 10.

There was no way this thing was gonna get anything less than Big Boi's album (9.2) after all that hype

THIS. 
Pitchfork is a joke.

Incredible album,by far the best of this year. There's not one song that you would want to skip past. "All of the lights" is probably the best song I've heard all year. If Em's "love the way you are" went number 1,there's no way that all of the lights shouldn't. The production on the album by 'Ye,Premier,RZA,etc was about flawless. Once again 'Ye came through with a classic album imo.

 

[based god]

10/10 from P4K, only the 11th album to ever be rated 10/10 during initial release. 

 

[xbiker47]

Just picked it up at best buy

 

[nyk buc]

album started out epic, then hits track 7 and it went downhill

Finally copped it, now I'm going to edit Ross, Nikki and Chris Rock off the album 

First thing I did. Took Nicki's ******ed speech off the first song. Took Ross' mumbling off Monster, I actually like parts of Nicki's verse on Monster but when she switches back and forth with that stupid accent and voices....she had to go. Ross was HORRIFIC on "Devil in a New Dress". Overall I think it's Kanye's best album, it's great. I do think it's getting a little too much hype and credit. I would easily replace 2-3 of these songs with some of the GOOD Friday joints 

Seriously? You just like to say words that ends with ific my dude
