Introduction to Late Registration.

               As mentioned before Late Registration is a truly amazing album, and an epic piece of work. Each song is layered with instruments, thanks to Jon Brion who Co-Produced the album with Kanye West. Kanye West did an excellent job producing all that he did. He produced every track except Touch the Sky which was produced by Just Blaze. The album itself is one that can be listened to in its entirety without skipping tracks, as the songs and skits are all placed carefully so the listener doesn't get bored.

               The mood of the album sways back and forth. At first starting mellow, and a feeling of loss in the opening track "Wake Up Mr. West" which crosses into "Heard Em' Say". Which is one of the tracks I would like to cover this week. There are reasons I love the opening skit. I can relate well to it, and I feel as though alot of what is said by Deray(the man performing his Bernie Mac impression on the track) is true. As he speaks the piano begins to play the sample, "Someone that I Used to Love" by Natalie Cole.

               The track then transitions into Heard Em' Say. I absolutely love this track. The beat is very light considering the rest of the album, and Mr. West has a very strong flow as he laces a lot of meaning into each and every rhyme. That and Adam Levine's vocals make for an amazing piece of music. One that is a great opener into Late Registration.
