It’s official: Kanye & Jay defeated the pre-release album leak. But it’s Monday morning, the wait’s over and by now the majority of fans and onlookers have Watch The Throne in their possession. Already, everyone’s forming their opinions on what’s set to be one of the biggest releases of 2011, rating it from good to damn near enchanting. For those that haven’t listened but have it in their hearts to do so, check the stream below while you kill time in your cubicle. Then, we shall all gather and throw our two pennies into the comments section.

Remember, the regular and Deluxe versions are now available for purchase. Personally, I’m holding out to purchase a physical copy and saving bread for the tour tickets.

Update: As the worldwide listening session continues, we decided to bring the post back up to the top to hear more of what everyone’s reactions are so far. The fact that it makes our Monday way easier is a great by-product as well. The easy route? Why, yes it is. But let’s face the fact, nobody gives a sh*t about much else happening musically so we may as well stay right here and chat.
