Enough with the torrents and the sticks [WAS: Kanye West - Graduation (Sept. 11)]
The only song I hate on the new one is 'Barry Bonds'. What a horrible track. The rest are good.

Yep shame on us, whatever , you still haven't removed that stick from your arse yet I see.
Anyway after more listens , yep bonds song is stupid, it almost doesn't even fit in with the rest of the album. Everything else is pretty damn good.

First impressions: the production and even a lot of the lyrical content has a more mature tone. People can dump on Kanye for his ego, but he's one of the few egomaniacs who is able to back it up with something different each time out.

The second part of your comment where you share your opinion of your illegal downloads wasn't reported, though.

This is a really solid album. Don't mind the Barry Bonds song, but the only song I'm really not digging is "Drunk & Hot Girls". Love "Everything I Am", "Homecoming", and "Champion". But if it's anything like his past albums ("Registration" is one of my favourite albums of all time!) even the songs I'm not liking now will really grow on me.
Love that he's taking it light on the skits this time around. I just want the songs, really.

My apologies to anyone who wasn't talking here about the unreleased album and whose post I have inadvertently moved to this split and locked thread.
For those that were, I refer you to my posts in the sticky thread atop this forum. In particular:
For Dignam, if you have any further observations regarding moderating decisions in this and/or other forums, would you please start another thread in Feedback. If, however, you have ongoing problems with the site owner's actual or imagined policies, maybe this isn't the place for you.
For anyone who decides that they know better that the threadlocking moderator [me] and chooses to flout my request to cease and desist with any further discussion in Music Talk of the rights and wrongs of illegal downloads and related issues.... please prepare yourself for a posting holiday.

As has been mentioned before, there are some cases where copying/taping/trading is lawful: threads dealing with this are unlikely to be closed where sufficient infromation concerning the legal side has been posted.
Likewise there are current threads concerning technical aspects of filesharing. Again, so far, these have been left open where they are non-specific.
Please don't be tempted to push the envelope. Geoff has recently posted about DVD bootlegging and other members may be aware that various longstanding "fudges" finally have had to be set aside.
The upshot with regard to mp3s and other files that people share, is that if too many folk fool around the whole area of discussion could become taboo.
There is also the marked possibility that posting privileges will be suspended where the Forum Rules have been ignored.
BTW: as there are already threads on the legality and other aspects of mp3s etc., I'd ask that interested parties please think very seriously about bumping those as opposed to perpetuating a discussion in here. There is also the Feedback Forum where discussion on rules etc is usually on-topic.
I'll endeavour to post any necessary updates here "as and when".
Thanks to all in advance for your understanding and co-operation.

"While I am not crazy about the way in which this issue was brought up or the tone of the accusations flung around it. I have taken a look at our policy and going forward here's our new policy:Leading up to this, while the debate was still proceeding, I was posting warnings both here and in the International DVD forum in to give people the chance to remind themselves, if they had forgotten, just where the boundaries lay and what the sanctions for crossing them could be.
- NO bootleg discussion threads."

- How do you feel about tapers / bootleggers? [Left open but a rules reminder added]
- Looking for an mp3
- 80's Mix CD advice??? [Check out the "free" link I added at that time]
- krkuhl's plea for help thread
