Heart to heart, they are good albums.  I wouldn’t say they are amazingly great or groundbreaking, but they have devistating hooks and seem to avoid pop superficiality in both composition and lyrics.  Although I could be wrong.  There are a lot of songs that I take to be satire that might, in fact, be more of an ode.

So, there it is.  I bought a Kanye West album and I liked it.  (which reminds me of another song that is slowly quickly killing our culture and i wont talk about now)
