Here is a track by track review of Kanye West's new album "Late Registration", follow-up to last years corker "The College Dropout". Apologies in advance for the Westwood-isms.

1. Wake Up Mr. West - Some guy talking, just an intro to the album.
2. Hear E'm Say - Heavy bass and piano-led tune featuring Adam Levine of Maroon 5. CRAZY!!!!! 7/10
3. Touch The Sky - Great tune with a great sample, can't remember what song its from but you'll recognise it. Featuring Lupe Fiasco (whoooooo?) IT GETS NO BETTER!!!! 8/10
4. Golddigger - Featuring Oscar winning actor Jamie Foxx. You've all heard it. HOLLA!!! 9/10
5. Can't Afford No Gas skit - Pointless annoying skit. IT'S A BAD LOOK BABY!!!!
6. Drive Slow - Featuring Paul Wall (whooooo?) and GLC (no, a different one) Pretty laid-back beat. WOOF!!! 7/10
7. My Way Home - Featuring Common. Uses another sample which is probably famous but I dont know who it is. STICK A FORK IN IT!!! 6/10
8. Crack Music - Featuring Game (not 50's pug-faced mate, another one) A bit repetitive, but ok. UNDASTAND!!!! 6/10
9. Roses - Not a cover of the Outkast song, but equally as fantastic. Laid-back vibe and good chorus. OFF THE SCALE!!! 9/10
10. Bring Me Down - Featuring Brandy. Another excellent song, even though it is a little R&Bish. *DROPS BOMB* 8/10
11. Addiction - good song but the sample of hte woman gets on my nerves a little. Good beats. GET A TAXI AND GO HOME!!!! 7/10
12. We Broke skit - Another annoying skit. I AIN'T DOWN WITH NONE OF THAT!!!
13. Diamonds From Sierra Leone (remix) - Featuring Jay-Z. Different to the normal version in that it has different lyrics and an unneccesary Jay-Z appearance appear. WE DON'T NEED THAT!!!! 7/10
14. We Major - Featuring Nas & Really Doe (whoooooo?) Good song, good beat but goes on for a bit. EXACTLY!!!! 7/10
15. Year Ago skit - Another (!) skit, not as annoying as the others. WE DON'T NEED NONE OF THAT!!!!
16. Hey Mama - Not a Black Eyed Peas cover. Bass heavy, quality tune. *KLAXON*
17. Celebration - Average, forgetable song. I'M NOT FEELING IT!!! 5/10
18. Imposter skit - Another skit. Yawn. NO NEED!!!!
19. Gone - Featuring Consequence (whoooo?) and Cam'Ron of "Hey Boy" fame. Great tune with a nice piano melody and good sample. I'M FEELING IT!!! 8/10
*Bonus Track*
20. Diamonds From Sierra Leone - Single version. Excellent beat and good lyrical flow. *DROPS BOMB*

*UK Bonus Tracks*

21. We Can Make It Better - Average tune with helium-like voice sample. WALK WITH THE BIG DOG!!!
22. I'll Be Late For That - Same as above, you can see why they are bonus tracks. GO HOME TO MOTHER!!! 5/10

As you can see, in my opinion it is a fantastic album, but is not as good as his previous album. It isn't as instant either, takes a few listens but it's more than worth it.

It'll be crap if any of his singles are anything to go by

that's true but I just can't like that sort of music - I've tried, I've really tried but I just don't like it. When I said the album would be crap, that is just my opinion.

I'm undecided whether I want the album or not. I prefer the singles off this album rather than the ones from his debut album.

That said his debut album was better on the whole than his latest.

Maybe my opinion will change over time but The College Dropout is f***ing amazing.
