    I see a lot of people put Graduation at the very bottom or near the bottom of their rankings. I personally love the album (apparently a lot more than most) so I'm wondering what about that album puts it so low in the rankings?

    Honestly I feel it's better than TLOP at the moment. That's just my opinion as of right now, anyway.

    90% of the production doesn't interest me, just like with CD/LR

    I just find The College Dropout, Late Registration, MBDTF, and 808s more interesting.
    Graduation has some dope moments. Good Morning is in my top 10.
    It's above Yeezus, and it's still a little too early for me to know where exactly I'd put TLOP.

    It's pop Kanye. Full of radio friendly songs and I'm not afraid to say I love it.

    it's not my least favorite..it's one of his best albums, soo many great songs..

    808s is my personally least liked album from him..but none of his albums are bad at all

    I guarantee you 6 months from now people will rank TLOP Kanye's worst album. Let's see where Turbo Grafix 16 goes

    I don't know any other way to say it. I just prefer his others. It's at the bottom of the list for me personally, but I still like it. It's still a good album. That's just how good the rest of his discography is. But if I really think about it, there aren't any real WOW songs on it. I really like Everything I Am, I wonder, Good Life, The Glory, and Champion. Flashing Lights is dope. Good Morning is alright (a little overrated imo). But there's no Runaway, or Hold My Liquor, or Blood on the Leaves, or Street Lights, etc. There's a ton of good songs, but not a single Graduation song is in my top 10, maybe even top 20, Kanye songs.

    Also, Barry Bonds, DAHG, and Homecoming all s---.

    • It's the worst lyrically of his first 5 albums.
    • It has a short tracklist and a few of the tracks are weak cuts.
    • It's not as experimental as his other albums
    • It's still a very good album.
