    Just got it today. Gotta say, the album cover is pretty nice. It's a solid album from start to finish. He begins the album with "Good Morning", which is something that gives you the feeling of waking up sorta like Folgers coffee? "Champion" and "Stronger" are pretty good and it's kinda like those "feel good music" and it's solid. "I Wonder" is a song that captures me from the intro with the mellow piano sound. The beat later comes in with Kanye rapping around 40 seconds into the song. I am really liking "Good Life" featuring T-Pain. I'm sick of his voice due to hearing him all the time on the radio but this time, he isn't talking about strippers, bartenders, or whatever so that's a good change and it's sort of a party song. And there's "Can't Tell Me Nothing" simply put it as it is. The next 2 songs, "Barry Bonds" and "Drunk and Hot Girls" are okay but I don't really like it. My personal favorite is "Flashing Lights" featuring Dwele. If you listen to it, starting from the first line,you'll behooked. "Everything I Am" is more a slow song that talks about himself and everything he can be.The next songs are "The Glory", "Homecoming" and "Big Brother." The best songs come at these two (bonus tracks?). "Bittersweet Poetry" featuring John Mayer reminds me of another song from Late Registration in terms of beat but I think it's pretty funny if you listen to the lyrics. And the album ends with another Mos Def callaboration with "Good Night" which is kinda sad because it ends a great album with a great song to complement it.</p>

    If 50 hopes of even touching Kanye's record sales, he better quit while it's still out for a day. I rate this album 10 out of 10. Though I liked Late Registration better, it still is one of the best albums of the year. Great effort and despite the release date, it assuring to know there is some quality music out there in this day and age.</p>

    50's and Kanye's albums are both boring to listen. I'm tired of them already.

    50'll sell more, but we already knew Graduation would be better. Very good album, 4 mics. Too short and a bit too synthy for my taste.</p>

    Damn, according to everyone, this album is really good. As long as it takes 50 out of the rap game.

    I think its pretty good, but after listening to it a couple more times, it seems a little overrated. The replay value of the CD is not that great.</p>

    Thats just for Best Buy stores though. While its fun to see those numbers, its hardly a measuring stick for what the actual sales are. </p>

    Yeah, Drunk And Hot Girls isn't my song since it seems it sounds and looks like a song Eminem might have.</p>

    When you say that this is the first time, do you mean that literally?
