eleven years ago, Kanye West briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Champion”. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Kanye West energies, virtually a rebirth. Graduation isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. This album is a scorcher!
Although Champion is very melodic it is far from sad. Stronger (Feat. Daft Punk) is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. I Wonder - A classic Kanye West track. This song is dynamic and dramatic. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. I listened to the opening track Barry Bonds (Feat. Lil Wayne) and liked it a lot. Drunk And Hot Girls [Feat. Mos is the albums biggest surprise. Flashing Lights (Feat. Dwele) is outstanding work of Kanye West. When I listen to Everything I Am (Feat. Scratch in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Some of the arrangements found on Graduation are surprisingly edgy. Homecoming (Feat. Chris Martin is simple, dignified and effective, Kanye West refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. Big Brother is a excellent sing-along. Good Night (Bonus Track) is a bit different from Kanye West stereotypical stuff. Bittersweet Poetry (Feat. John as a highlight of Graduation contains a ton of marvelous melodies.
