Advantages: JAMIE FOXX'S VOCALS IN GOLD DIGGER

Disadvantages: THE SKITS ARE UNECCESSARY

Kanye West's second album Late Registration features many collaborations.
The album consists of seventeen tracks with some skits to break the music up.

1 - WAKE UP MR WEST - A nice litle opener to start the album.

2 - HEARD 'EM SAY - This song features vocals from Adam Levine of Maroon5 and his voice lifts the standard of the song.

3 - TOUCH THE SKY - A great track featuring Lupe Fiasco and wonderful lyrics.

4 - GOLD DIGGER - Best song on the album. For an actor Jamie Foxx's vocals are amazing.

5 - DRIVE SLOW - Paul Wall and GLC add their vocals to this average song.

6 - MY WAY HOME - Common features in this nice little song.

7 - CRACK MUSIC - The game supports but I don't think he's and Kanye's voices combine well.

8 - ROSES - A slow paced song that is quite touching.

9 - BRING ME DOWN - Brandy provides vocals and their combination links very well to make a nice song.

10 - ADDICTION - To me this was album filler.

11 - DIAMONDS FROM SIERRA LEONE - This track features JAY Z and samples from Shirley Bassey's classi song DIAMONDS which gives this song an edge.

12 - WE MAJOR - Nas and Really Doe provide back up to a song that doesn't really add anything to the album.

13 - HEY MAMA - More album filler.

14 - CELEBRATION - A good fast paced track.

15 - GONE - With Consequence and Cam'Ron providing support this song is a hidden gem.

There are a couple of bonus tracks a remix of DIAMONDS FROM SIERRA LEONE and WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER that give the album a nice finish.

The amount of supporting acts on this album means that there are a range of voices to be heard rather than just Kanye's. It is an album filled with more good stuff than bad. There is quite a bit of swearing in the album, but nothing that I would call extremely offensive. The skits add nothing to the album either.

Overall Late Registration is a good album.

Summary: Late Registration makes the grade.
