CD Reviews

Edited version of an already edited program.
Thomas Coleman | 01/14/2010
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I have had the audio for this since a few days after it came out and I jumped at the chance to own an official copy of it.



Unfortunately this release is so completely hobbled.



The dvd that comes with this set includes new performances that for some reason are not included on the cd.



The songs are heavily edited. Even more than the original broadcast. This can be seen clearly on the song "flashing lights" where Kanye says "That's a story for your ass". On this official cd this is edited to "That's a story for your ______". Is it a big deal? To me it is, I do not want my music censored. I think this is my main problem with this cd. (Watching the dvd I noticed that the "that's a story" line is not censored. Then why edit it on the cd?) The packaging should say somewhere on it that it is an edited version.



When I bought this cd I assumed that it would have the entire VH1 performance, but as a final slap in face they have removed the final song "Love Lockdown" from both the cd and dvd. Its not like it wouldn't fit on the cd. I really should have read the back of the cd, but there was no reason to think that song wouldn't be there.



And so, for the first time when buying a Kanye West cd I a filled with regret, buyers remorse.

"I was so happy when I read there will be a DVD and CD of the VH1 Storytellers will be released.



Anyway when I listened to it, I was just disappointed and angry coz this is only money makin."
Great concert, DVD quality disgrace to Kanye

"Wasn't really a big Kanye fan but have more respect now after seeing this awesome concert in Palladia. I liked it so much I just had get the DVD but it's such a disgrace to Kanye because of the very poor quality of this DVD. It's pixelated and audio is only Dolby 2.0?! My cable tv was a lot better than this DVD - 1080p and Dolby 5.1. Only give it 3 stars because even though it's a great concert the DVD ruined it."
