    Immensely mediocre. I hope Ye doesn't make any albums like this anymore. It's rushed and unfinished. Very low quality album.

    very poor album with poor production and a lot of throwaway tracks but does have some positive marks like the tracks we did it kid, flowers, true love, eazy & city of gods

    It's clearly unfinished. The best is yet to come. So far there are about 3 or 4 bangers, some unfinished songs and some filler material. It needs another drop. The beats are all good, the lyrics need some work. True Love, First Time in a Long Time, Lord Lift Me Up, Easy and We Did It Kid (this one reminds me of All of the Lights) are great. Future is the weakest link on the album to be honest.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall Donda 2 is not a completely finished album. People be trying to hate on it without waiting for the album to be finished. It’s the Miami version at the time of this review and more listening sessions will be held in the future as one is planned in Miami Gardens around April 15th. We should get a more complete album around that time. Anyways this album gives me an “so help me god” type vibe mixed with some aspects of donda and the scrapped turbo graphics 16. I felt that the way Kanye used his beats to convey his mindset and his feelings toward going on in his life. I thought really the Miami version deserves a 6.5/10 but this should improve as the album is completely finished over the next 3-5 months. Expand

    The album is such a dissappointment I can't even explain it, man. Definitely not worth even checking out. Ye has lost it, the talent is gone, it's just the ramblings of a egomaniac at this point.

    Wack. Easily the worst album Kanye has ever released (not even sure it even deserves to be called an album honestly). Not worth the wait.

    I miss the old Kanye. This dude is just mentally broken and no longer even interesting. Listening to one of the goats decline is just sad at this point.

    The sequel to Donda, this albums hype was mostly fueled by the Pete Davidson/Kim K-Ye feud. I’ll give my honest opinion about the album rather than just straight up hate (like some bozos in here). A red flag for the album already was the fact that it wasn’t dropped on streaming services. Instead, you were forced to buy a $200 music peripheral to listen to the album aka the Stem Player. ButThe sequel to Donda, this albums hype was mostly fueled by the Pete Davidson/Kim K-Ye feud. I’ll give my honest opinion about the album rather than just straight up hate (like some bozos in here). A red flag for the album already was the fact that it wasn’t dropped on streaming services. Instead, you were forced to buy a $200 music peripheral to listen to the album aka the Stem Player. But you know, it’s not hard to simply rip the files off the stem player or the website and simply upload them to YouTube and SoundCloud. I had to resort to downloading the album and adding it on my local files on Apple Music. Now the album itself, it’s just terribly unfinished. Songs like True Love (rip X), Security, and Sci-Fi sounded like a rough copy with open verses taking up the last 1 min of the song at times. And then other songs just sounding repetitive and boring like Louie Bags (Jack Harlow did his part though will say that), and First Time in a Long Time. The only somewhat solid songs personally were Happy (ft Future) and Flowers. Speaking of features most of em were okay but could’ve been a lot better. But in general the album just sounds unfinished. The mixing in some cases sloppy. There’s instances were the vocals or ad libs are just cut off randomly. In conclusion, I think it had potential to be decent at best. I don’t think it would’ve topped Donda but somewhat better than say Jesus is King. Perhaps with more time to work and perhaps FAR better mixing and editing plus perhaps a streaming release and this album could be a solid 7/10. But, it’s just not good and it’s sad. Ye has been one of the most prominent artists in the game over the last id say almost 15 years and to see an album like this is just terrible in terms of Kanye standards whos well known for being a great producer.

    Acredito que o albúm traz muito sons comerciais e pouca identidade. Kanye ou Ye como se chama agora tem se mostrado pouco original em suas canções.

    The current release of the album otherwise known as Donda 2 — is a noticeably unfinished album. ... Not that the album is unfinished to the point it's entirely unsatisfying; there are clear winners here.

    The rawness of Kanye West’s current existence manifests in music that actually means something, which is the first time we’ve been able to say that about a Kanye album in some time.

    Every now and then, he can still crank out his signature sweeping production or drop a line that stops you in your tracks. But no minor edit or revamped version of Donda 2 can conceal the album’s inherent flaw: It is presented as a revolutionary work but it is decidedly a non-event.
