"Kanye’s magnum opus -- a rich and bombastic culmination of his career as a rapper, producer, and music-legend wrangler.", "Possibly the best album of the year....West has expanded his sonic palate by incorporating imprecise choir-like chants, new accents and inflections, epic horns, prog-rock samples, sinister guitar riffs and spoken word...", "The record sounds innately full and vibrant, but by peeling back a few layers, West has emerged with his most effective, plaintive work ever.", "This is not just West's best album, it's a keen contender for the most ambitious LP in hip-hop history.", 5 Stars Out of 5-"A Genuinely Great Record....The Album's Subtleties Run Deep and Devastating...", "The bulk of MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY finds him augmenting classic breaks and moody loops with large and immaculate orchestral flourishes.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY is his most manically inspired music yet....Yeezy goes for the grandeur of stadium rock, the all-devouring sonics of hip-hop, the erotic gloss of disco, and he goes for all of it, all the time.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "A fascinating record, a sumptuous musical banquet at which Bon Iver and Aphex Twin rub shoulders with Jay-Z, Smokey Robinson and a whole Broadway chorus."
