CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Graduation is the 3rd installment in the Kanye West series of ground breaking albums, targeting every school kid, from those that have dropped out (Debut Album, College Dropout), to those late registrants (sophmore album Late Registration), to those that have gone on and completed school (current album Graduation). Though technically this earmarks a junior year, West's approach to crafting this album was very much senior. Kanye teams up with veterans Daft Punk and Edwin Birdsong on "Stronger"- Graduation's forthcoming single; as well as enlisting a little help from current chart topper T-Pain on "Good Life". Chris Martin of Coldplay appears on a track called "HomeComing" as well. Kanye has continued to prove his understanding and appreciation for a wide array of music and musical influences. What makes GRADUATION so special? Like most Kanye titles, his fearlessness and blindness to inhibiting boundaries, coupled with his fan driven core competence is evidence that he knows exactly what people yearn for...great music, perspective, and a voice to be heard.

CD ReviewsMost Accomplished Work to Date.... Joshua Hemmings | Hamilton, Ontario Canada | 09/12/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "The most impressive thing about the latest album from Kanye West is it's ability to distinguish itself from it's previous counterparts. "Graduation", the assumed final piece in West's school-themed artistic endeavours, draws much of it's potent lyrical & musical prowess from the artist's own struggles with how he's perceived within the music industry. While standout hits such as "Stronger" and "Good Life" are surefire chart toppers, songs such as "Everything I Am" and "Big Brother" reflect West's own struggles with trying to be appretiative (not upset over not winning all the awards) of his influencial position within the music industry. With such variety and range being presented on this album, Kanye West has once again positioned himself in the running for the much coveted Album of the Year award at the 2008 Grammy Awards. The major difference between "Graduation" and his previous efforts is that his best songs lack the extremely overused musical tool, the collaboration. Kanye West has in the vast majority of cases, developed songs which have been assembled, produced, and performed solely by West himself. For the times that he does use the collaborative genius of another artist, he is capable of stretching the boundaries and encorporating individuals such as Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin, a lesson he learned in his previous album with Maroon 5's Adam Levine. All in all, Kanye West has created an individualisitic musical journey on the "Graduation" effort and quite possibly may earn that award which has eluded him for so long. " CD was as good as the music in it Play It Again Sam | Syracuse, NY USA | 12/11/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "I truly enjoy listening to this album. It arrived promptly and in perfect condition. I wanted the edited version, and fortunately, explicit words have been muted out of the songs. The only downside is that a few words were left in the songs for a couple of tracks. Still, the CD is good, and I['m satisfied."
