Breakup Classic

Kanye used personal tragedy in a failed relationship and the death of his mother to produce this classic breakup album. It really is one of the finest albums about the end of a relationship that I have ever heard. That said, West is both too blunt and overly reliant on autotune. Otherwise, the album perfectly conveys the darkness and flatness of what the world looks like when you've been left behind as only a few artists have done before.
