Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

For haters eager to see Kanye hit a sophomore slump--no such luck. Late Registration can't replicate the novelty of last year's College Dropout, but otherwise, this is an impressively more mature and labored-over album. Lyrically, Kanye's only improved a notch but musically, the album sounds incredible, especially with co-producer Jon Brion helping polish the songs to perfection. Tracks like "Heard 'Em Say" (featuring Maroon 5's Adam Levine) and "Hey Mama," are richly textured in their soulfulness while the flint-edge of "Crack Music" and "Gone" (feat. Cam'ron) will appeal to the street-oriented. There's a few duds on here--the sickly-sweet, syrupy "Bring Me Down" (feat. Brandy) being one of the worst offenders--but when the album's good, it's very, very good. In short, Kanye's detractors may not be swayed in their resistance to his charms but not only will his past supporters be rewarded but Late Registration has enough appeal to earn new crowds of fans. --Oliver Wang

Product Description

Late Registration is the hugely anticipated second album from Kanye West, the 28 year old Grammy winner recently named Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world. First single, "Diamonds From Sierra Leone", is signature Kanye West--a heavy groove and sped-up soul sample, courtesy of Shirley Bassey's classic "Diamonds Are Forever", Kanye's unusual, conversational flow sounds sharper than ever.

4.0 out of 5 stars G.O.O.D. music, 29 May 2006
By Christopher Hall (North Lincolnshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although I'm a massive Kanye fan, this album didn't really "click" with me as quickly as his last -- but after a couple of listens it definitely packs a punch... and a mighty one at that. 'Gold Digger', 'Crack Music', 'Roses', 'We Major', 'Hey Mama', and 'Gone' are by far my favourite tracks, though the rest of the album ain't half bad either.

Roll on album #3.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Ye - stop invading my head space!, 7 Sep 2005
On first listening, I didn't think too highly of this album. Songs like 'We Major', 'Crack Music', 'Celebration' and 'I'll Be Late for That' really blew me away though and over the week and a half of release I've now realised that I've listened to Late Registration over 20 times and - when I'm not listening to it - it reverberates in my head.

College Dropout probably had a more complete and coherent feel to it, but LR has taken 'Ye to another level, especially with the orchestration and musical proficiency of John Brion.

A classic? Nearly. Something feels a little incomplete or forced about it, but - as one review stated - only a hip-hop artist could have made a pop album like this. And Kanye West is probably the only hip-hop artist who can.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definately recommended., 28 April 2007
First time I heard it all way through, there was not one track I didn't enjoy. Even the skits are great, and I usually skip 'em. Packed with humour and club bangers, this has got bassically everything a hip hop album needs. I can't really say which track is the best, because I kinda class it as one big song, but We Major and Gone are definately the stand outs. I hardly ever give full marks, but this absoulutley deserved it. It's even better than Kanye West's previous album College Dropout, which I loved.

If you love Kanye, you'll love this album more than you'll love him.
If you hate him, give this a try and I garantee you'll enjoy it.
