Reviews3.5 stars out of 5 -- "This is an album that takes aim at the history books....It has a sound to match those grand pretensions.", Ranked #40 in Spin's 'the Top 40 Albums of 2011ft.- "They Segue Into Dubstep and '70s Art Rock...", "Jay sounds generally reinvigorated: good-humored, full of nimble, intricate wit and atypically emotionally revealing...", "It’s no surprise that the finest tracks here are those in which the duo take a break guarding their invisible thrones. The stark ballad 'Made in America' provides fascinating glimpses into Kanye’s past, coupled with his trademark wordplay...", Ranked #2 in Rolling Stone's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "THRONE testifies to Kanye West's genius for beats both iconoclastic and pop-savvy."
Loved Kanye didn’t like the inclusion of rapper JayZ. Kanye far out ways JayZ as a credible ‘rapper’, I feel. We’ll keep our eyes on the Throne. I shall never forget receiving this from you. Thank you.
