From Rolling Stone.

I love Kanye. I love the writer/critic Rob Sheffield. But I thought it was an unspoken rule that no longer could anything be given a 5-star review. That usually denotes "classic status," and people might overreact to that.

How will Newgrounds react to this? Assuming they care, of course.

Yo, yo Kanye, I'm really happy for you, I'm a let you finish, but the Beatles are one of the best bands of ALL TIME!

So? He shouldn't just not use the five star rating because a few people may get their panties tangled. If he believes it deserves five stars, then all power to him.

I'm just in shock -- like I said, I love both of the people in question, the critic and the artist. I haven't heard of an album getting a 5-star from Rolling Stone in forever.

This.

I know some people don't like Kanye because he had some dick moves in the best, but he is widely regarded as a great talent in his genre. It is that guys review and he can give him whichever score he wants to. It is a simple review by one man, and not the final say-so in an albums worth.

No, that thread was you being a butthurt idiot who insulted a movie you hadn't even fucking seen because it wasn't filled with explosions.

If we're making gay little assumptions like that, then you have regular sex with your sister. Honestly music is one of the most contentious things to talk about people feel strongly about it (for some reason) don't pay attention to reviews and such just listen to what gets you going and ticks the boxes for you.

I don't think so. Being British actually has some perks. What does being a waste of space give you, besides a reason to kill yourself?

Also, I'd like to keep this topic on the subject of Rolling Stone's review on this CD. Or hell, their 5-star reviews. Last CDs I heard got 5-star reviews from this magazine was back in 2002 -- Beck's Sea Change and Bruce Springsteen's The Rising (Old geezers like the Boss. Who knew?)

Alright, since i seem to have diverted from the topic at hand, I'll give my opinion. Kanye sucks. He had one good song (gold digger) and that was it. Plus he's a douche.

Pretend not to care about anything, but be bothered by everything.

The only people who find the Rolling Stones relevant are archeologists.

Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde got a five star rating.
Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run got a five star rating.
Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's got a five star rating.

Kanye is good, but does not rank with those albums.

Key sentence right there.

Reviews are meerly opinions. I could say that Killer Clowns from Outer Space is the greatest movie ever and it would have as much credibility as someone saying Citizen Kane was the best.

i dont fucking care about rolling stone. i dont care about critics. All critics are biased. Finding an un-biased critic is damn near impossible.

ill listen to the singles put out by bands, ill listen to songs suggested to me by people who are interested in the same kind of music as me.

But ill never listen to magazine critics. its so fucking pointless.
