    Every song was different. I never felt bored listening to this project. The verses and features were amazing and the symbolism/messages were insane.. if i could rate it 100/10 i would do so.

    Flawless. Only flaws are "tracks" Tell The Vision, and the Pt. 2s. I do not count these tracks since Tell The Vision is an interlude and the Pt. 2s and merely bonus tracks. Other than that this album takes you through many of Kanye's songs with bangers/sad songs. All the features did their thing. And Kanye spits some of his best lyrics in a while and has some of his best singing.

    Donda é como ir á igreja - sendo você cristão, ateu, religioso ou o qualquer outra coisa que você seja- aos domingos.
    Vou explicar: Kanye West representa aqui a pessoa que vai a igreja. Ele tem mil problemas, ele está se divorciando, vai ficar um pouco mais longe dos filhos. Ele perdeu a mãe, ele sofre com isso. Ele não tem mais a mãe aqui pra dar colo a ele quando ele precisar e isso    Donda é como ir á igreja - sendo você cristão, ateu, religioso ou o qualquer outra coisa que você seja- aos domingos.
    Vou explicar: Kanye West representa aqui a pessoa que vai a igreja. Ele tem mil problemas, ele está se divorciando, vai ficar um pouco mais longe dos filhos. Ele perdeu a mãe, ele sofre com isso. Ele não tem mais a mãe aqui pra dar colo a ele quando ele precisar e isso machuca. Kanye teve uma infância difícil, tem cicatrizes, tem dores e tem lembranças dos tempos em que tudo era difícil. Mas as coisas estão melhores? Algumas sim, outras não mudaram e parecem até imutáveis. E os conhecidos dele? Também tem dores, também tem problemas, também tem perdas. E ele os absorve. Nós absorvemos as angústias alheias também quando o angustiado é alguém por quem temos apreço. E agora ele tem as dores e questões dele e as dores e questões de, sei la, mais 5 pessoas. Isso tudo enfrentando um divórcio, pensando nos filhos, na mãe, nos problemas que estão ao redor dele. São muitas coisas.. mas estamos na igreja. Quando tudo parece não ter sentido, quando tudo parece nos levar para a ponte mais alta da cidade que nos convida para dar fim em tudo alguém estará lá para nos salvar? Não nos salvar, tipo, impedindo que nos joguemos da ponte. Pergunto se alguém, de fato, estará lá para nos salvar? Para salvar ele?
    Deus está, pelo menos em teoria. Nossos antepassados e os antepassados dos nossos antepassados já tinham o costume de se agarrar na fé quando precisavam de um Salvador que não se encontrava entre os homens. Esse salvador é Deus? Quem sabe se ele existe? Mas se não chamar por ele, por quem ele irá chamar? Quem é que vai nos salvar?
    Um domingo na igreja é um dia em família. É pra ser um dia feliz, um dia de cantar junto ao coral, de ser grato por estar com quem mais amamos, por mais que alguns ambientes religiosos sejam extremamente tóxicos, o que aquilo e aquele significa pra ele é maior do que isso. E o momento de estar na igreja aos domingos é o acalanto para uma alma que sofre por mil motivos. Uma alma negra, de um homem negro, de alguém que tem tudo e todos contra si, de quem é invalidado e atacado a todos os momentos, de quem está constantemente vendo sua cabeça sendo oferecida a pseudo-justiceiros que pensam estar numa posição segura para fazer julgamentos. Eles realmente julgam, mesmo que sua vida não seja exemplo para nada e nem para ninguém. E eles não se vêem lá, eles não se vêem em Donda. O que eles vêem é um homem negro que é um alvo fácil, o que eles vem é alguém que eles podem atacar gratuitamente, afinal quem irá defende-lo depois de tudo? Quem vai salva-lo?
    Essa bagagem que levamos para a igreja costuma pesar, ye sabe disso.
    Perturbado com a própria perturbação e a perturbação do perturbado, Kanye faz nascer o álbum Donda..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 7/24Review: Being that this album is not officially release yet metacritic can do what they see fit with this review. If I'm being brutally honest this is Kanye's worse album. Thank god he's delaying this, as it seems thrown together quite frankly. The only tracks I could get behind was No Child Left Behind and Don Trolliver's feature in MOON. At some points the infamous leaked versions of Donda seemed to be an improvement. For example, the changes to Hurricane, that was leaked back in 2019, seemed to do nothing but take away from the song and muddy the production. Kanye needs to start taking his meds again. Not good. 3/10

    8/29 Review Official Release: My god has it improved so drastically. It's a completely new experience and while the alt versions of songs feel just unnecessary and it's certainly not his best work, it's a beautiful, well-put-together album. 9/10, but I'm gonna put 10/10 just in an attempt to counter the 0/10 reviews that are basing their review off of Kanye's character and not the album.    … Expand

    The 10th studio release from Kanye West is an emotional homage to his late mother with whom the album shares name with. At the same time West continues to explore and rejoice in his faith in Christ. It’s arguably to long for its own good, but Kanye is no stranger to +7 minutes songs and this album has in my opinion no skippable tracks.

    the vulnerable raw side that Kanye is showcasing here is nothing short of a brilliant experience, the writing, the production and even the features feel as an honest attempt from Ye to capture his struggles and his demons, and how bit by bit he can conquer that evil with the help of his new found spiritual beliefs.

Think he's tied himself in knots a bit because of the obvious importance his mother holds in his life and coupled with the drawn out release and shenanigans with MM and Da Baby its created a bit of dissonance. But, all said, I've played it on loop since it came out and not skipped any yet and gone back to many a number of times. I thinks its huge in places and deserving of some time and appreciation. Mike Dean is so influential in any quality on this album imo. Think Ye is a bit of a dick but also a brilliant artist who at least asks questions.… Expand

    From the concept to the delivery, Donda is a roller coaster of emotions from an artist that dedicated his whole life to one important person, trying as much as he can to reach his mother. This is not just a Kanye album, is a generation of hip hop trying to reach with Kanye a common good.

    This is all over a great album. Kanye is rapping at the best level in a long time, great features, amazing production. Coming from JIK this is a great bounce back.

    A produção do álbum impecável, a sonoridade impecável, lírica impecável, haters impecáveis perdendo o tempo precioso deles pra vir aqui dar 0, tudo impecável, mas como a bancada de velhos vai analisar mais as polêmicas do que a produção e a qualidade do álbum em si sabemos que vai amarelar com certeza ❤️

    Very Beautiful album. Very good production, expected from Mr West. Only thing i would say is if he left out a few songs and kept maybe 15 of the good songs. I would say it would be top 5 kanye. Other that that it's great, and love it.

    Anyone who rates this lower than an 8 is listening with preconceptions, instead of opening their heart. Ye is back and this is the best he’s been since TLoP. This is an album that is heartbreaking, cathartic, uplifting, and bangs at the same time. It’s a meditation on grief. It is an audioprayerbook written by a man still finding his faith, and how important and transformative God can be,Anyone who rates this lower than an 8 is listening with preconceptions, instead of opening their heart.

    Kanye never fears experimenting with his work. And this album is the perfect example of this. He is the real GOAT.

    The wait was worth it, this could very well be my AOTY. This album has incredible production and vocals mixed in with great lyrics, The pt 2 tracks didn't need to be there but since they're pretty much just bonus tracks it doesn't impact my review

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

    Donda isn't without its highlights, but taken as a whole, it's both confused and confusing.

    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.
