My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy [3 LP]

i love this album so much. tracks like dark fantasy, power, all of the lights, runaway, and probably more I'm missing all being on the same album is insane. potentially one of the best rap albums of all time

Well I must reiterate what the masses have already stated and that's that this is an outstanding album and that Kanye West has really outdone himself with My Dark Twisted Beautiful Fantasy. He went all out with this one with unique sounds everywhere, elaborate bridges, strange yet all too fitting and appropriate guest features, etc. etc.One thing is for sure and that's Kanye West seems to reinvent himself after every album. For the past year people were asking the "Where Are You Yeezy?" and his answer was that he was cooking up a classic that will undoubtedly define his career and cement his legacy as one of the greatest producers and rappers of all time.Sometimes we as fans don't appreciate or quite understand what is happening with artists until they leave for good but it is a great thing that Kanye is getting the recognition he deserves. It's tough to pick a favorite song but All Of The Lights is about as good as it gets but I'm also loving Devil In A New Dress...the breakdown in the middle of the song is sheer beauty and Rick Ross delivers a grandiose verse like only he can. Runaway also is as ambitious as it gets with its vocoder and breakdown near the end of the song.I'm trying to go easy on the superlatives but that's a tough task. This album right here flows along seamlessly with each song having its own distinct sound and personality yet it all comes together perfectly in an album format. Before this album I was prepared to let Janelle Monae runaway with that album of the year title but now with MDTBF and Lady Killer I must strongly reconsider these thoughts and truthfully there have been plenty of great albums this year.Kanye has released perhaps the biggest album of the year in terms of its impact and anticipation and the music lives up to the hype. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy creates its own mood and atmosphere and pulls you into his world. If you are any type of music fan there's something on here for you. Highly recommended.

Good cd would recommend

I really wanted it, but I bought it well

My favorite Kanye album, so I’m really glad to finally own it on vinyl. It was out of print for a while and the resale prices got pretty crazy, so I’m especially happy to have it in my collection now. Sounds great and looks good on the shelf.

Great purchase. The album is very good with deep meaning. The cd comes with a poster which was very great to see. Overall great purchase.

A solid portion of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy earned its premiere on YouTube in the form of a half-hour music video for the single "Runaway." Opening the album with the same song as the video, titling it "Dark Fantasy," Kanye gives the first words to a female narrator, a fallen phoenix. With a choir of oohs and aahs in the background, she says "you might think you've peeped the scene. You haven't, the real one's far too mean. The watered down one, the one you know, was made up centuries ago. It made it sound all whack and corny. Yes, it's awful, blasted boring. Twisted fiction, sick addiction, well gather round children, zip it listen!" A grand piano chord quickly follows this short narrative and so begins Kanye's latest epic production.Kanye is no stranger to grandiose compositions. Even his debut album, The College Dropout, had nearly an hour and twenty minutes of music with standout tracks like "Jesus Walks" paving the way for a new generation of artists. However, never before has Kanye blended so many genres of music together or taken so many musical chances on one record. Even a simple glimpse at the guest list is enough to make the heads of fans spin. Elton John, Chris Rock, Rihanna, Fergie, John Legend, Kid Cudi, Rick Ross and Jay-Z all on the same album? Bon Iver on a hip hop record? If there was ever any question as to how this could all work, a single listen to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is all the proof you'll need.Although the entire album has an unquestionable flow that keeps every song fresh and intriguing, there are two tracks on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy that truly capture what Kanye West has built his career up to. The first is "All of the Lights." Complete with its own cello and piano interlude, "All of the Lights" throws an entire brass section into the mix and allows Rihanna as many if not more of the featured vocals in the song. Although strings and brass have all been used within the realm of hip hop before, the stylistic blend between classical, fanfare, and club worthy beats in less than a minute feels natural and effortless on "All of the Lights." The second feature track is, appropriately, the lead single "Runaway." Opening with a minimalist piano part similar to the end of Nine Inch Nails' "Closer," Kanye takes the listener on a six minute journey with some astute lyrics of self-reflection. As the beat abruptly ends and leaves the piano on its own once again, one may think the track has finished, but an additional 3 minutes of deep staccato strings behind a vocoder solo offer proof of Kanye's desire to push the boundaries of acceptable singles in today's pop culture.Kanye West is not perfect. You know it, he knows it, and we all know the media exploits his imperfections to no end. Sure, he made a fool of himself on stage when he stole the spotlight from Taylor Swift at the VMAs. Yep, he sent a racy photo of himself to a woman that ended up on the internet. OK, his last album, 808s & Heartbreak, put a few nails in Auto-Tune's coffin, but like him or not, he's a visionary and a musical mastermind. With three phenomenal albums, The College Dropout, Late Registration, and Graduation, already under his belt, Kanye West enters his second decade of musical production with his best solo release yet. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy has once again upped the standards of rap that he himself set.Similar Artists: Jay-Z, Dr. DreTrack Suggestion: "All of the Lights"

El disco es magnífico, pero el envío de Amazon en este caso es lamentable. Un disco no se puede enviar en una caja con más artículos de un mismo pedido sin protección alguna. Ha llegado bien de milagro.

Amazing album. My second favourite behind Graduation. This is the jewel case variant and it surprisingly arrived in mint condition opposed to being demolished in transit from flimsy bubble mailers. The album was shipped in an appropriately sized paper bubble mailer instead of the usual plastic bubble mailer, potentially that was to thank or just luck. Not sure if they’re all the same, my copy was the Ballerina cover with the uncensored phoenix couch art on the disc. Thanks to the packers and delivery crew for getting the album here in one piece.

An absolute masterpiece of packaging and sound. The interchangeable cover art inserts alone make this worth owning, letting you showcase different George Condo artwork in the front frame. Spread across 3 heavyweight LPs, the lush, maximalist production sounds warm, deep, and dynamic. An essential centerpiece for any vinyl collection. 5/5 stars.
