    Mike Dean (legendary producer from Houston) who is doing a lot of production, mixing, and mastering of the album mentioned in an interview that one of the ways they were preventing piracy was by sending people on flights with HDs containing the session files when they needed to give them to someone else.

    Eh, I liked Kanye's last album but I probably will pass on this one.

    It wasn't a leak, it was officially released through iTunes.

    And its fantastic. Besides Lift Off maybe, that one kinda sucks. But the rest is fantastic.

    Is it out in stores? I want to go buy it now. I'm supposed to receive an email from Live Nation for a free download for iTunes but nothing yet.

    I listened to it before I went to bed last night.

    Gotta say I'm let down. Not to say it's not a decent record but I suppose my hype got too high for this one.

    Currently listening to it a second time right now.

    Yeah I bought tickets through toyotacentertix.com but I guess spending 483 bucks on two club level seats wasn't enough for a free download link of the album smh

    Agreed. Ran through about 3/4 of it during lunch, not impressive. Can't say I expected much, typical hip-pop garbage marketed to the pop culture gaga generation. Not a hip hop record what so ever. There's a couple records on there that could've been decent, but either were missing things in production value or the lyrics were wack. Most of the time I felt like it'd go intro-chorus-ye verse-chorus-jay verse-chorus-out. Every track felt like it ended abruptly and the cd has no flow to it. It's more like a mixtape of rough edits they were working on it the studio then any sort of put together "album". Should've been called, "Watch The Rough Draft"....they can do better than this but honestly, they'll make money either way so I don't think they care.


    Bad Meets Evil >> Watch The Throne.

    One of the best songs on the album imo.

    this album is definitely a grower, you wont get much out of it on the first couple of listens. i now thoroughly enjoy the album.

    Kanye is overrated.
    And yes whoever said Bad Meets Evil > Watch the Throne is 100% correct.

    absurd to even think that, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is one of the top albums of the year, probably last 5 years.

    let me just say that after multiple listens it gets better, the poster that said it was a grower was telling the truth. Watch The Throne is a good album no doubt.
