808s & Heartbreak by Kanye West
Won't Break Your Heart
by rhawkinson
Pros: Innovative, great production and musicality
Cons: No "hits" like "Gold Digger" or "Stronger"
There has been a lot of disagreements among Kanye West fans about this CD, but as a die-hard fan of both Kanye's and music in general, I was very pleased with the innovation and musicality of this CD.  Though it's nothing like his previous work, the level of quality in music and production that Kanye fans are used to is definitely still there.

I explained to a friend that the CD is almost theatrical, invoking emotions and feeling like a soundtrack to a movie.  You can almost imagine scenarios in your head as you listen to the music (and that's before you stop to pay attention to the lyrics).  Kanye is definitely coming from a different place on this CD - he seems to be sensing his own mortality and realizing what he had to give up to pursue his dream - but it's not a bad place at all. 

Fav tracks - "Welcome to Heartbreak" and "Street Lights"
Not so Fav - "Love Lockdown"
