This album continues the story of 'college drop out' and 'late registration'. like the third part in a trilogy.
As the former, this third album also contains the almost patented kanye west r&b/hip hop, a special kind due to the choirs, the specific samples and the vocal specials. but here all a bit less in number and quality. So, to me 'graduation' is more to the middle: it contains strong songs, but as a whole i loved the other ones better.

If you are into all the gangsta rap artists, i would say this album is definetly not for you, but for me this is definetly one of kanyes greatest album, not as good as the one before i will say, but this album does have some very catchy tunes on it and can be quite addictive to listen to.

This album gets better and better the more you listen to it. I really can't say enough good things about it.

'Can't tell me nothing' and 'Flashing lights' are just two of the highlights. 'Everything I am' is one of the best songs Kanye's ever made. There's a few bars in that track that perfectly sums up the difference between Kanye and these so called "Gangsta" rappers. You'll know when you hear it.

It doesn't quite measure up to Late Registration but it's still a very good album and well worth a purchase.
