Say You Will” opens up and the production is so dramatic and intense. We were overwhelmed just listening to West sing his pain. The album features artists such as Young Jeezy, Lil’ Wayne, and Mr. Hudson. West takes you on a roller coaster ride with auto-tuner and ridiculously addictive production. He even takes a few jabs at his ex, Alexis Phifer with lines like: “Just a spoiled little L.A. Girl” and “Who knew she was a drama queen that’ll turn my life to Steven King” and “You’re like the girl from Misery.” Certainly, he made sure she knew she did her part in his heartbreak.

Stand out tracks on the album include the following: “Paranoid,” “Robocop,” “Bad News,” “See You In My Nightmares,” and “Coldest Winter.
