Aug 29, 2021The abuse of that distorted bass in almost every song make you tired and makes the album feel longer.

Aug 30, 2021Too long and overrated. Most songs are just fillers and honestly Kanye hyped up his albums way too much and makes fans wait and wait. By the time the album finally drops it is unfortunately underwhelming.

Aug 29, 2021I am very disappointed Kanye West :(
Donda? More like Donda es el good music -

Aug 29, 2021I feel like this could have been so much better but the amount of fillers is way too high and lyrics are not consistently good. Instrumentals are great. Expected more Kanye but the album is mostly features, so it's basically a DJ Khaled album on steroids. Also it is clearly unfinished so I don't know why Universal decided to release the album without his authorisation.

Aug 29, 2021This is his second attempt at trying to redeem himself after his past album “Jesus is King”. He does this by blending In elements of “Ye” and trying to call back to his first albums, but fails to deliver. The album consists of repeated themes, and features meant to excite the audience but not provide substance.

Aug 30, 2021uma merda sonora com direito a feat com homofobico q debocha de aids e um estuprador acusado de abuso sexual
-
Aug 29, 2021Amazing, simply simply amazing. Lots of beautiful sounds! The rollout was also impresdive
-
Aug 29, 2021You could cut at least 10 of these tracks and be left with a great album….
-
Aug 30, 2021Subpar offering from a legend of hip-hop. Kanye can't help himself and includes every single idea that he has on the album, not mattering if it sounds good. So many half-baked songs and honestly filler. Only a handful of songs OUT OF 23 are worth listening to a second time.
-
Aug 29, 2021Thera are only some good songs on this album. the ress is sort of like filler songs to me. to me its kinda too long and unfinished. kinda overated. but maybe ill change my opinion after i have listen to this album a few more times
-
Aug 29, 2021A bloated, incohesive, overhyped album with around 2-3 very good songs, comparing this to his older works genuinely hurts.
-
Aug 31, 2021This album is like a new journey for Kanye. It kinda has a gospel vibe, but far from being a hit on the radio.
-
Sep 1, 2021A few songs are decent but they’re still hard to finish. I haven’t listened to Kanye since TLOP - but his last few records must’ve been pretty bad for fans to praise this bs highly - the dated synth sounds all over this thing need a lot of work
-
Aug 29, 2021This album could have been an 8, 9 or 10, because so many of the songs sound amazing. But the album is 27 SONGS LONG and 1 song is 11 MINUTES. The album is super bloated and because a that I can't give it anything higher than a 6
-
Aug 30, 2021Se siente incompletp, asi de simple, se siente como un monton de cosas producidas y compuestas en un par de horas en vez de sentirse como un album
Que enorme decepcion
Simplemente siente flojo, medio terminado y eso apenas -
Aug 29, 2021In itself, the way this album was promoted was phenomenal, it's just that we were too expecting something extraordinary. A few songs I don't like (e.g. Hurricane, Come to Life, Remote Control), but there are also songs that I liked immediately (e.g. Jail, 24, Moon). I was a bit disappointed, however, I think this is a reasonably good album in terms of performance.
-
Aug 30, 2021I don't know how I feel about this album. While it has some great songs like Hurricane and Moon, most of the album feels different... Doesn't feel like your usual Kanye album. Stuff like Yeezus was different, but that still felt like a Kanye album. I don't know how to explain it, but there's definitely aspects of this LP that could be changed, and those changes would make the album better.

Sep 4, 2021I see too many people saying this album is either AOTY or complete garbage, let's be honest it is neither, I think the album is way too long and on the second listen a lot of songs got pretty boring once the excitement wore off. Still, it has an interesting and slightly unfinished production with a few bangers like Hurricane, and Jail.

Sep 3, 2021An album full of incredible highs and the lowest of lows. Donda is excruciatingly long due to needless filer and lacks the structure of previous releases
-
Aug 30, 2021There's no way in hell that Ye can be a Priest after this. I know Kanye misses his Mom but needs mental psychiatric help. And his latest album is a mess but at the same time it sounds pretty good too on a technical sound standpoint..
-
Aug 30, 2021It has its moments with songs like Jesus Lord, God Breathed & Moon but ultimately it's too long, feature-heavy, and unfocused. Donda deserved better than this.

Sep 10, 2021An average album for "Kanye West" imo. 27 songs in an album is just boring. I was waiting for the album to end. btw it isn't that bad to get 0 from Independent lol

-
Sep 7, 2021Donda lacks unique production, brilliant lyrics and effort, yet considered to be a tribute to his mom. Few of the features are very well put and well assigned for the album but other than that, it's a filler/loop material that also lacks magic and craft that Kanye had beforehand.
-
Sep 18, 2021This album had some trash songs, it's bloated, misconceived, and executed poorly. That aside, no one else could make it.
-
Aug 30, 2021The album was very difficult to get through on first listen. Over time there are a few highlights that have emerged, a few sparks of polished creativity, in a seemingly dark jungle of creative, but ultimately chaotic and unfinished darkness.

May 18, 2022Good Album , greatest tracks but to long (27 song) he did remove the part2 , Tell the vision et junya and this is a great 8 but now is is a 7
-
Sep 5, 2021To me, this album is like throwing some excellent ingredients for a delicious soup in a pot but then taking it off the stove before it's cooked to completion.
-
Sep 21, 2021overrally a good & not exceptional project from Kanye. the production & sound as expected of Kanye stands out in this album. of course there are highlights from the body of work but however too many features & the number of tracks make the album sound a bit saturated & lack of a certain direction altogether.
-
Dec 3, 2021While this album has some good and even great tracks, West made it way too bloated to keep my attention through out the record. Tracks like Off the Grid, Jesus Lord, Moon, Jail, Praise God is what I wish Jesus is King was like. But tracks like Tell the Vision and all the Part 2's just seem like a waste of time. I enjoyed it but I'm not gonna sit down and this 2+ Hour album likely ever again
-
Nov 4, 2021Though I'd call the album 'mid' for Kanye's standards but it very much does have some songs which you could consider to be career highlights.
-
Nov 13, 2021Kinda like going to church but do it an album... okayyy. god bless america,
-
Nov 23, 2021I understand it's art and all, but honestly the album itself was kind of boring to me
-
Dec 25, 2021The max I can give is a 6. It has some good songs like "Hurricane" (best track) and "Moon", but overall lacks personality and the Kanye West that we are used to.

May 17, 2022i got very excited for this one. this disappointed me greatly. i still think it is good but heavily flawed. only a few songs are memorable in this 27 track project. that is a problem. despite that the production is top tier.
Favourite songs- jail, off the grid, hurricane, moon -

In all honesty this album’s pretty good for what it is, albeit like 50 minutes too long. -

Jan 26, 2023这专是相当遗憾的一专,从豪华版换曲目来说就看的出Kanye制作时的混乱,很多donda2020时期的弃曲觉得比现版好听的多,当然现版也有很多优秀的曲子如24,BWIS,但是突出的缺点掩盖了优点,就像Yes的地形海。
-
Mar 6, 2023I love Kanye and giving him a 6 is painful, very empty in its content, he is no longer the same guy I knew, nor has his evolution made any sense musically speaking. I know you have to separate the art from the artist but with Kanye it's impossible, the parts about his mother are brutal, his Christina part seems lost and I'm sorry but there are 10 unnecessary songs. Overrated album.

Sep 3, 2021Though this isn’t a complete comeback, frustrated Kanye fans certainly have more grounds for optimism after this record than they did before it.
-
Sep 2, 2021Donda isn't without its highlights, but taken as a whole, it's both confused and confusing.
-
Sep 2, 2021There are times where Kanye recaptures the magic of his golden years. ... But there just isn’t enough good here to look past the flaws. The final result is a collection of songs with little binding energy other than a vague Gospel through line, which runs across the tracklist — chaotic like The Life Of Pablo but devoid of the magic.
