    This album didn't disappoint me at all. Other than the two interludes, 25 out of 27 went to at least one playlist. Overall it has a cinematic feel to it, but it's very... different. You can't go into it expecting a hip-hop album, Ye's going into a completely new direction with his music.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like the overall sound but a lot of unnecessary tracks. The roddy song seemt like it would be from an roddy album instead of an kanye album. Same on junya which felt like a track from whole lotta red.
    Then there were unnecessary tracks like the pop smoke skit, 24, lord i need you and remote control. But besides these tracks and it feeling a bit too long the album was great. The feeling the album gives you shows why i love kanye and his work. He has an immense talent for dramatic and vibe. He took the new generation and put it on his beats with his ideas. If the points above wouldn't be there i would give it a 9-9.5 when listening to it longer.

Instead, there are droning organs giving a sense of church service - there is mourning interjected with moments of joy at the glory of just being alive and gratitude for the creator and bursts of posturing. This is not an album for someone looking for bangers - tho there are a few. This is not music meant for post modern nihilistic sentiments - hope is the prevailing message. Ignore the negative press surrounding specific features. It makes thematic sense to have Dababy and Manson.

The album continuesAbsolutely stellar, I thoroughly enjoyed every song on this album. Donda Chant establishes a dark tone of Kanye desperately calling out to his mother for help into the void more than a decade after her death. Ye has been through dozens of controversies and undoubtedly has cried out to his mother, who was the most important person in his life, when nobody else was there. The album continues building upon this theme as Kanye finds purpose and confidence again through music and God. However, many songs depart from this and instead give us a glimpse into what’s going on in his life right now—the divorce, being “off the grid” with the black imagery and masks, general gospel songs.

    Some critics say the album name didn’t make sense. He doesn’t have to talk about Donda in every single track because that’s what the title says. Rather, his mom appears in a few tracks, symbolic of her continuing to support Ye from Heaven but not in the same way as if she were still alive. Amazing how many people are trying to drag down this album because of the recent controversies. Nobody on this planet could legitimately believe this project was a 0/10. Pretty sad, but you can’t stop Ye from winning—check the streaming numbers if you disagree!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Album is really not as bad as people are complaining about it’s really great there maybe a few issues on the album. Like the Pop Smoke sample and the fillers that are not really I feel like the pt 2 parts should be the original ones on the album and add cudi back on Remote control but overall it’s pretty solid.… Expand

    Deep track list & strong features. Tell the vision is the only true weak point.

    Definitely not his best album, I wouldn’t put it an 8 exactly but definitely a strong 7 like a 7.8. I think Kanye hyped a little too much the album so that’s why there is ppl rating it too low, but it is a decent album, the only problems I find for the album are the Pop Smoke weird track and it’s duration, there are more things but it’s not a bad album. Top 5 this year in my opinion

    Don't listen to the Drake and Taylor bots, or the woke critics, this album is fantastic and was 100% worth the wait. Kanye remains goated

    Another classic Kanye West album. There are so many songs that you can instantly save to your phone. The production is classic Kanye and Mike Dean, fully immersing you in the album. This is the longest Kanye album to date with so much content. The range of emotion and meaning in this album is endless. There are only 2 skips on this album and neither one is truly a "Kanye song" Mr. WestAnother classic Kanye West album. There are so many songs that you can instantly save to your phone.

    Donda is the long awaited 10th LP by Kanye West in which he delivers a diverse sonic and lyrical set of songs that recall sounds from both his recent gospel work as well as sounds fit for Yeezus.

    this is his best album since The Life Of Pablo, this is Kanye returning to form but finding a balance with his new found religious views without being up your face like it was with Jesus is King.

    there is only one weak track, that being tell the vision, then all of the tracks are 8+ and given the size of the project is a realy tough ask. the tracks started from jail and ending with    this is his best album since The Life Of Pablo, this is Kanye returning to form but finding a balance with his new found religious views without being up your face like it was with Jesus is King.

    the tracks started from jail and ending with heaven and hell is a stretch of 13 tracks all being 9.5 or 10, and that is an album size for most contemporary artist, so it speaks volumes of his talent and work put on the album that he is able to pull that.    … Expand

    The album definitely didn't live up to the hype. It is just way too long with only a few songs that should be on the final version of Donda. Something that was supposed to be an album became a playlist with both good and not so good songs.Now i can officialy say that i miss the old Kanye

    A complete experience for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Every featuring brings quality to the album, From track one to track 26. 26 BANGER TRACKS! No words.

    My favorites: Jail, Off the Grid, Hurricane, Jonah, Junya, 24, Remote Control, Moon, Heaven and Hell, Jesus Lord, Pure Souls, No Child Left Behind, Ok Ok pt.2

    Rivaling his past magnum opus, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Donda, named after his beloved late mother, is a heartful reflection of Kanye's livelihood. It touches on his relationship with God, mother, wife, children, culture, and himself.

    A masterpiece.

    Though this isn’t a complete comeback, frustrated Kanye fans certainly have more grounds for optimism after this record than they did before it.

    There 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.
