i think of Graduation as the album Kanye made for the people, every song is built to be a stadium anthem, it's his most accessible and so UPLIFTING, which is so fucking rare these days. i could think of perhaps 4 or 5 uplifting albums since the beginning of this millennium's music, all genres considered. while 808's & Heartbreak seems to me like the polar opposite twin; an album he made completely for himself, where he also went all out with his 80's Synthpop obsession. and i love both too much of course.
