| | Kanye West: Late Registration (2005): Reviews |
| | Late Registration really wants to be an album album, which makes all the more frustrating and undermining the fact that it mirrors the flaws of its predecessor: the glut and the stilted sequencing. | | | The sprawling Late Registration is the year's most accomplished rap album, and in turn, he's done something that his heroes-- the Pharcyde and Nas, and father figure Jay-Z-- couldn't do: deliver on a promise the second time around. | | | Late Registration can't replicate the novelty of last year's College Dropout, but otherwise, this is an impressively more mature and labored-over album. |

| | Blogcritics.org: CD Review: Kanye West - Late Registration |
| | I really like the late reg album but classic...no...ground breaking....maybe..If you listen to the music that is out it all sounds the same. | | | Late Registration sets its sights higher, but it comes off in the end as just a mostly great collection of songs; songs that sound good enough on their own, but together they don't seem to know what they want to say, where they want to go. | | | Detractors may like to harp on West's arrogance, but they forget that this is all part of the show, a tradition that reaches back to Little Richard's ludicrous claims that he was "the originator, the emancipator and the architect of rock'n'roll." After all, nobody criticizes 50 Cent for his own apparently monumental ego. |

| | Late Junction, which has regaled late-night listeners with a mixture of world, experimental and classical music since September 1999, is releasing four CDs in May - including a compilation prepared by presenter Verity Sharp. | | | The first four releases on Late Junction include a new album by US composer John Adams, recorded by the BBC Symphony Orchestra at London's Barbican Centre during a critically-acclaimed concert series earlier this year. | | | The four CDs are being released by Late Junction in association with BBC Music, part of BBC Worldwide's global marketing and brand development division. |

| | After hearing "Late Registration", there will definitely be a debate about who has made the best rap CD of 2005 so far: Common or Kanye West. | | | This song is one of my favorite songs on "Late Registration". | | | Late Registration can't replicate the novelty of last year's College Dropout, but otherwise, this is an impressively more mature and labored-over album. |

| | Instead, the majority of the album is filled with bland, overproduced, and orchestral music that can hardly be labelled as "rap beats." I don't know if Kanye's arrogance has finally caught up with his ability to produce music, but the "beats" on Late Registration scream sheer arrogance. | | | After a stellar CD like College Dropout, Late Registration comes as a great disappointment to me. And believe me, I was VERY excited about this album coming out. | | | The brilliance of "Late Registration" lies in Ye's love for old-school soul music, and his samples add a sublime touch to both his rhymes and producer Jon Brion's alternative touch, particularly on "Touch the Sky" feat. |

| | But during my recent trip to see my dad, he showed me a Late Junction compilation CD, and since then I have made the effort to tune in and listen. | | | That's what Late Junction is - John Peel for the (in my case, prematurely) middle-aged. | | | I won't deny it - I haven't ever really considered listening to Radio 3 before, because I have it mentally labelled "Classical", and I know that my tastes in classical are so limited as to make most of what I imagine the station to broadcast to be uninteresting. |

| | The Observer OMM The first ten: Kanye West, Late Registration |
| | As the audience files out, the consensus is that Late Registration is another remarkable album, if perhaps lacking the knock-out punch of instant classics like 'Spaceship' or 'All Falls Down'. | | | In an attempt to move beyond the samples and loops common in hip hop, Late Registration is actually co-produced by Jon Brion. | | | Happily, at the playback, it soon becomes clear we're not simply listening to Puff Daddy with better lyrics, and those of us documenting proceedings suddenly have a lot more detail to scribble into our notebooks (all recording devices having been confiscated at reception, such is the paranoia of the modern music industry). |

| | He is also a talented recording artist, which we see on his new CD, Late Registration. | | | Dropping knowledge like an old school rapper, the scholastic theme of Late Registration evokes warm memories of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, and West, like Hill, is every bit the iconoclast. | | | From the very first track on West's new CD, you know you are in for something different from your standard rap album. |

| | They do not oppose 'world music', rather 'world pop' and they seem to be opposed to programmes such as Late Junction, not per se, but because it is broadcast at the very time of day when people can most easily listen to classical music. | | | I thought it was called "Late Junkshop" We used to leave Radio Three on in the evenings for the dog, but it is not suitable any more, so we tune to Classic FM and she has to put up with the adverts! | | | Late Junction should be taken off the air permanently. |

Music, appeared on Dropout and pop up on Late Registration. | | | Williams is all over Late Registration as well, but his standout is definitely "We Major" — his golden vocals are as valuable as a million in non-conflict diamonds. |

| | Tim Sneath : Late Junction |
| | Uniquely, Late Junction has even inspired the creation of a brand new record label which publishes musicians who might otherwise not get an airing. | | | If you're bored with the manufactured rubbish that passes for popular music these days, you really should try the most surprising mix of music you'll ever hear: Late Junction on BBC Radio 3, Monday to Thursday nights from 10:15pm. | | | The latest compilation, Nordic Nights, is particularly splendid; track 3 (excerpt) is perhaps the most mind-blowing piece I've heard this year, combining a full church organ, the pedal steel guitar, and an African gospel choir. |

| | IGN: Late Registration Review |
| | West adopts a pseudo De La Soul motif, at least vocally and musically, on "Drive Slow." Former Swisha House guru Paul Wall and GLC slip into the cut for added vocal bling, meshing well with the sedate, late night jazz vibe of the backing track. | | | Late registration is usually for those scrambling to get into college classes after the fact, not for dropouts. | | | It's a strange shift, because just as it eschews the fuzzy warmth of his rhyme style earlier in the album it also embraces it, just in a different way. |
