Kanye West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" Named The Best Album of The Decade so Far

Kanye West has a lot of fans around the globe and at Pitchfork. The website released its "The Best 100 Albums of The Decade so far" list and Kanye West has 2 albums in the top 10, "Yeezus" at number 8 and "My beautiful dark twisted fantasy" at number one. Here is why Pitchfork picked the latter.
While his first two masterworks presented a complex and complete portrait of a man, you likely bought The College Dropout and Late Registration on CD and could resolve the contradictions and flaws by cutting out the skits and skipping the last couple of tracks. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy impresses with its impenetrable wholeness. Befitting a record that owes its creation to a mythical, Dream-Team recording process on a Hawaiian island, there’s one way in and no guaranteed means of escape: unusually lengthy songs impervious to fast-forwarding are filled with guitar solos, extended outros, surprise guest verses, and French horns. It's post-Twitter, pre-Vine and Snapchat; the decade's information overload with a vinyl-era attention span, forcing you to acknowledge and appreciate every stumble on the way to an emotional and musical breakthrough.

When I was drinking, there was only one time even for a moment when I thought, ‘Aw, fuck life.’ And then, even my conscious brain went:

Did you honestly just say, ‘fuck life?’ You know, you have a pretty good life as it is right now. Did you notice the two houses? Yes? Have you noticed the girlfriend. Yes? Have you noticed that you have a pretty good life, even though you may not working right now?

Yes.

Okay, let’s put the suicide over here on discussable, let’s leave that over here in the discussion area. First of all, you don’t have the balls to do it. I’m not going to say it out loud. I mean, have you thought about buying a gun?

No.
