General album comments:

CasanovaZelos: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is my favorite album of 2010 and #24 of all time though unlike a lot of my all-time favorites, I feel there are several questionable moments on this album. The best tracks just happen to be enough to make up for those weaker moments. Additionally, theres a very strong theme that makes this album more than the sum of its parts this is Kanye Wests ode to himself, and that narcissistic excess gives purpose to every inch of the album.

Seanchan: I'm not much of a rap fan but this is still a really great album. I remember downloading this super cheap on an Amazon sale some time after it won the Grammy but being very skeptical. Then you get to that Power/All of the Lights/Monster section and it's like "whoa". I feel like I've said this a few times already with our Rankings but this is another deserved classic.

ChainLTTP: Best rap album ever made so this is very difficult. The top 8-9 are all-timers.

ZaziGuado: This is the first, and probably only, rap album I've ever come to love. Rap/Hip hop is a genre I don't normally engage with but Board 8 was aflutter when the album came out 10 years ago, so I partook in listens of it and really found myself drawn to it. I probably wouldn't have given it too much play without Board 8, so it has this neat association with the board that I enjoy. The opening is balls to the wall amazing, and while it, for me personally, stumbles a bit in the middle, it recovers with grace.

Johnbobb: I've never actually listened the full way through a Kanye album before, and I'm actually surprised by just how much I enjoyed it. There's a lot you could say about Kanye, but you can't deny his production value. Purely instrumentally, the album is fantastic, with most songs sounding drastically different from each other beyond just having a different beat. Lyrically, it's hit-or-miss, but I enjoyed most of it

kateee: definitely not as high on this album as most people and my feelings on it have not changed much throughout 10 years. Jay-Z's Monster verse is still meh but even with that, Nicki's verse makes up for it to make it the best track. Dark Fantasy should have just ended like 40 seconds earlier. Chris Rock skit is still the worst part of the entire album. weak finish after an amazing start.
