This is kind of the cherry on top of what has been an amazing year for them; Brothers has been included on myriad Best of 2010 lists and has even been nominated for Best Alternative Album at the Grammys.

kanye-west-eyes-closed

Here’s a track that didn’t make it onto the final version of Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. “Eyes Closed” has a sound that makes me think it was destined for 808s and Heartbreak rather than Kanye’s latest album.
