    Kanye West used to make albums that were fun to listen to and had actual hits on them. This album is boring Christian propaganda with good production.

    Insanely good music. Kanye West is GOAT. The sky is blue. Every song is at least an 8.5 (with 5 of them 10 imo). His best album i dare say, even better than MBDTF.

    At more than 100 minutes, the album may seem challenging at first, but is well worth it: amazing production, fire bars, incredible artistic concept, bigger-than-life vibe, glorious verses... this is the definition of an instant classic

    On “Come to Life”, a beautiful spine-tingling love-telling story off of Donda, Kanye sings about his desire for another life and wishing he had listened more to his wife, Kim Kardashian’s thoughts, dreams, and aspirations. He brings to light his mixed emotions about her presence and her absence while expressing how he doesn’t want to die alone without her specifically at his side.

    Great album. Jesus Lord part 2 is a top 10 Kanye song. Some mixing could be better and the pop smoke song is unpleasant, otherwise a generally great album.

    All spectacle and controversy with no substance. Kanye’s inclusion of Marilyn Manson and DaBaby to take advantage of their “scandals” underlies the ignorant noise that’s replaced the genius.

    It really is a very good album, Kanye and Mike Dean's production management make it undoubtedly the best album so far this year, all the media impact makes it striking. The only negative point is the duration but the rest is perfect. I feel like it's a mix between Yeezus and The college Dropout.

For once I'm listening to something that isn't about "getting into the game" or "get rich or die trying". There's a lot of humility and love in his lyrics of repentance, not making it about yourself but serving bigger than yourself and being honest. Many critics I read either have an issue with his past, Marlin Manson in the album (for real? 0 stars when you gave him 3?) It sounds more that people don't trust Kanye and very quick to call him a nut because it's just easier than trying to understand. I think he's going against the grain and I know he ain't no saint. But this is art. This will talk to many people who are going through a lot. A message about hope to even those who are considered damned. God forgives and don't play favorites.… Expand

    Album of life.
    One of Ye's best works, absolutely incredible and breathtaking music that is unrivaled by any other artist in history.
    The songs are all highlights and will make your spine shiver at least 27 times. It is technically long for an album with a runtime close to two hours, but it's so good it feels like 20 minutes, Ye blessed us with the amount of fantastic content here. I'll be    Album of life.

    Um álbum medíocre, feito por um cara que só ganha buzz em atacar mulheres inocentes e ter uma síndrome de achar que é o dono mundo, mas na verdade n sabe sustentar o marketing do próprio casamento ou a imagem de "filho de Deus", mas o q esperar de uma pessoa como ele??? Nada além de lixo e fãs idiotas que são obcecados pela Taylor Swift

Donda, after the recent cancellations of Yandhi and DNDA this is something very acceptable to any ear, varying between Trap and Gospel, the latter being for which people make it look like a bad album, tracks like Jesus Lord, No Child Left Behind or 24 would not work without Sunday Service, tracks like Off the Grid and Heaven and Hell are collaborations that have not felt so alive since TLOP, Donda is not a bad album, it just hasn't come out at the exact moment, we are not facing an MBTDF, we are facing the future.… Expand

    After a hellish wait, Kanye delivers what can only be described as a phenomenal piece of work that almost makes you forget that it took about a year too long to come out, because it somehow still feels worth it.

    Very impressed with this album. Only one or two songs I don’t care for, which is very hard to say for all other artists out there. Favorite song is “Hurricane” with The Weeknd and Lil Baby features. Well done Kanye. Donda would be proud.

    DONDA, Kanye Wests 10th solo album brings together modern music production choices and styles to meet gritty and distorted samples. It’s scattered and abrasive track-list is reminiscent of wests earlier project TLOP.

Creativity can sometimes fall short however, where this album shines in its rawness, it seems to have many unexplored ideas that don’t quite connect and sound fulfilled. Overall I highly recommend DONDA.… Expand

    From beginning to end, Donda is everything we have waited for, simply put, leaks we heard and loved, make their place on DONDA with a refined form. Including a variety of songs that were never heard before (as albums should be presented)

    Donda, West's 10th studio LP, is a listen that stretches far beyond its predecessor "Jesus is King" - in terms of its colorful sonic landscape and its complimentary collaborations with both A- and B-list artists.

In addition, Kanye keeps doing what he did on his magnum opus "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" - bringing the absolute best out of each and every feature - musicians and music-producers alike. This results in songs like "Off The Grid", "Jesus Lord", "Jail", "Praise God" and "Jonah". Kanye does more than this, he brings out his most vulnerable side in tracks like the breathtaking "Come to Life", a track that instantly replaced "Runaway" as my favorite West track off all time. Donda is a statement that this is indeed "a mission, not a show". 10/10.… Expand

    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.
