First of all can i just say that this is his best work ever. though it just beats The college Dropout. Now i will break this lyrical genius's album into 14 pieces .

1. Good Morning - Considering this is a intro is it a great song. It sets the scene for the album and talks about the results of a school slacker.
Lyrically amazing. 9.0/10

2. Champion - This should be an anthem! has a good chorus and has a though remarks about the film Will Smith was in called The Pursuit of Happiness.
Anthem. 8.5/10

3. Stronger - Now let me tell you, with out Daft Punk in this, the song would be ruined! a very unique track and if i could choose any song on the album to grab the audiences attention and give a little taster of the album it would defiantly be this!
Addictive. 7.9/10

4. I wonder - Hmmm i'm not sure about this track. In my opinion its the weakest track on the album, so lets leave it at that.
OK. 6.6/10

5. Good Life feat. T-Pain - You couldn't get hold of Akon eh? dont get me wrong, i love this song and T-Pains distinctive sound really works well with this song. Theres a million good things i can say about this track but i think ill wrap it up here.
Throw your hands up in the Sky. 9.4/10

6. Cant Tell Me Nothing - My god. The lyrics in this track are amazing! it really reflects his life and shows off his lyrical talent.
A Tune. 9.4/10

7. Barry Bonds feat. Lil Wayne - This is also a weak song in my opinion, its just not my style of track. Also Lil Wayne isn't needed in this track, it was fine without him.
I'm mean eh? 6.1/10

8. Drunk and Hot Girls Feat. Mos Def - a very good, but dull song. Although catchy, practically all it is is one line and a backing track repeated.
Great. 8.2/10

9. Flashing Lights Feat. Dwele - When i fist heard this track I was very arrogant and hated it. Trust me on this, listen to it 2 to 3 times and it will grow on you and you will love it!
Stays in your head all day. 8.9/10

10. Everything I am - this track is a bit like All Falls Down, a Kanye style slow ballad. Not one of his best but nonetheless good.
A deep, yet solid song. 6.9

11. The Glory - this is one of my favorite tracks. For one it has a lot of originality, secondly the chorus is so enjoyable I could play it over and over again (which I have done!).
Brilliant. 8.9
12. Homecoming - This is nothing new to West fans, the same amazing stuff. This song, like others, has a beginning, middle and end, but this song perfects all areas. I cant praise this enough!
Truly amazing. 9.1

13. Big Brother - Now, as you all know Jay Z was his mentor, well, this song talks about his life and links between the two rappers. The most emotional song on the album. Even though his is considered as a bonus track it is still a class track.
True class. 7.8/10

Well as you should know 50 Cent had a crazy idea to have his album Curtis and Graduation released on the same day as a competition to see who sells the most records. But obviously Graduation beat Curtis easily.
Well that raps my review. Thanks for taking the time to read! =)

May.
