    Classic album some tracks by themselves may be low points but when listening to the album as a whole I can't skip a single track.

    The skits really fit the album and have some funny moments. Ofc they got old, but when I listen to CD I never skip anything. Tied with MBDTF for Kanye's best album, for me.

    Nope, perfect album start to finish

    Edit: actually I wish School Spirit was unedited, but I found the unedited version and replaced it anyway

    School spirit and breathe in, breathe out are pretty meh to me, but apart from that and the workout plan skit, the album is 100% solid....

    EDIT: originally i said 'get em high' but i meant 'breathe in, breathe out' get em high is fantastic, i was trippin

    New Workout Plan and Breathe In Breathe out qualify as low points because they're merely good (rather than great like the rest of the album)

    Also the skits, while thematically appropriate and sometimes funny, bog down the album all these years later. Glad he's abandoned that habit

    Oh yeah the skits are horrible but I didn't know anyone counted those/left them on their iPod.

    But yeah breathe in breathe out is aight. Like I don't skip it or anything but I'd never choose to listen to it.

    But yeah, on the real the low points are very few and far in between.

    Some skits work, others are annoying - they're too frequent in general. Definite flaw

    Breathe in breathe out is pretty great but in the bottom three. Not really a flaw

    New workout plan is f---ing great, f--- you

    That's about it tho tbh

    just look at the sequencing on this b---- - you literally can't skip any track for the entire album
    save for MAYBE 2

    On a personal note this is probably the album I've played the most in my lifetime, especially these past 3 and a half years. Breathe In Breathe Out & New Workout Plan aren't exactly poor but they pale in comparison to the numerous stand-outs that are all over the album. I still listen to Last Call all the way through.

    Whenever I listen to Kanye, I always find myself going back to this album. Truly a special album.
    2 Words one of Kanye's best beats ever.
