Kanye getting the top spot is cool since it's one of my favorite albums of the year. Cee-Lo getting top song is also something I'm not against.

Just out of interest, is Kanye's album actually that good? I haven't heard it, and after his douchey antics and music direction over the last few years i've just about given up faith in him. However everyone is raving about his new album. Just how good is the album really, and what kind of album is it?

 

[PHX]

I say it really is that good because while it may be called a hip hop album it's really just a music album that people who don't even usually listen to rap could even like due to how he did the production. I still say College Dropout is his best album ever but this is easily the 2nd best and one of the best of the year. No autotune stuff on it so if you didn't like 808's then don't worry cause Dark Fantasy is nothing like that.

Didn't even know LCD Soundsystem had a new CD out, should get those along with Kanye's & The National's.
