Not yet, but as soon as I'm listening to contemporary music again it'll be top of the list.

The production is incredible...early favorites are New Day and Why I Love You...two very well used samples.

I'm giving it a few days before I think of putting it in my top albums chart, but I'm pretty sure it'll make it.

I'm not feeling it. Sad

Maybe it'll kick up a bit on the second listen. Very ...'fast' album. Production is nice. Very different from the usual Kanye & Jay-Z. No orchestras, no guest rappers, no skits, very few choruses..

I'll add the album to our charts.

Should it be under Kanye West & Jay-Z, or 'The Throne'?

(My ratings, if anyone cares)

No Church In The Wild - 75/100
Lift Off - 40/100
Nigga's In Paris - 65/100
Otis - 80/100
Gotta Have It - 70/100
New Day - 75/100
That's My Bitch - 80/100
Welcome To The Jungle - 60/100
Who Gon Stop Me - 65/100
Murder To Excellence - 70/100
Made In American - 50/100
Why I Love You - 85/100

Overall Album - 75/100 (well, on my notes it's a 73, but I rounded it up for the site.)

Nowhere close to MBDTF or The Blueprint, but an ok album.

It's alright. To bad the critics are gonna have a heart attack over it and call it the greatest collaboration in hip-hop history. I need to listen to it some more, but from what I heard I wasn't that impressed. I like the songs with Frank Ocean on them; "No Church In the Wild" and "Made In America".

I'm pretty sure the collaboration is called The Throne.

Yeah, put it down as being by the Throne.

So far so good, just started it. I'll probably have to finish it later at home though.

Ugh... I started the album up... I was really excited, but...
I'm partway through Lift Off. I really hate Beyonce.
So far this album seems a lot less... ambitious than Twisted Fantasy.
It's just kinda forgettable. It's forgettable, and way too "pop". I loved how Twisted Fantasy was introspective and observant, but this is just generic hip hop.
