Another super-stylised video from Kanye West and his all-Autotune project...

Too hungover for actual words today but there's something quite...folky about 'Heartless', isn't there?

I have only heard this song and Love Lockdown but from what you write, I'm really excited about this record. I disagree with what you say about "Graduation", however. To me, "Graduation" was the first clear picture of Kanye we've had, at least in album form. It is such a concise and coherent record, especially compared to the first two. At first I assumed that to be because of the lack of skits and filler tracks, but it also had a rawness to the production that really popped the first few times I heard it. The eurotrance template you mention really stood out and gave the record a distinctness and cohesiveness the first two albums lacked. I say this thinking of the music and sound of the album, not so much the lyrics, which I've never really examined much.
