replicate the novelty of last year's College Dropout, but otherwise, this is an impressively more mature and labored-over album. Lyrically, Kanye's only improved a notch but musically, the album sounds incredible, especially with co-producer Jon Brion helping polish the songs to perfection. Tracks like "Heard 'Em Say" (featuring Maroon 5's Adam Levine) and "Hey Mama," are richly textured in their soulfulness while the flint-edge of "Crack Music" and "Gone" (feat. Cam'ron) will appeal to the street-oriented. There's a few duds on here--the sickly-sweet, syrupy "Bring Me Down" (feat. Brandy) being one of the worst offenders--but when the album's good, it's very, very good. In short, Kanye's detractors may not be swayed in their resistance to his charms but not only will his past supporters be rewarded but Late Registration has enough appeal to earn new crowds of fans. --Oliver Wang

This was Kanye's 2nd album after the release of the College Droput, meaning this had a lot to live up to if it was to be as good as the first. I am not as keen on this one overall as College Dropout. A few of the songs are really good; Hey Mama for his mum, Diamonds from Sierra Lieona and the album also features the remix with Jay Z which I think is better than the original. The album has guest appearances from Jay Z, Brandy and Cam'ron. The one featuring Cam'Ron is one of the best tracks on there.
