Man, oh man. I feel so happy about someone else liking Graduation and not putting it as his worst album.
His worst? definitely not, it's top-to-bottom awesome. And, it's quite amazing how he was able to make an album so eclectic (pop, soul, electronica etc.) and yet feel so consistent. It feels like one album, it's coherent and entertaining throughout and it doesn't just feel like a random batch of songs, it works as one body of work... when other rappers try this it never works, and always sounds broken up. Really solid songs, production, lyricism and ideas throughout.
Only song I skip is "Good Life", but it's not a particularly bad song, just not one which grabs me personally. I can hand pick songs I like from his first two but neither is my favourite, I think
Graduation is superior to both, I like
808s a lot as well.
