Dec 11, 2022In terms of experimental exploration and pursuit of the ultimate, it is worse than the previous "My Beautiful Dark Twisted", but in terms of the most underestimated part, "Yeezus" has no less points, and even the birth time of this work is too early, it is impossible to wait until it becomes popular, it is better to stay in the care of the circle of people who know how to appreciate/love it.

Jun 19, 2013Another classic from Kanye West. It's natural that some people don't like it; he's pushing the boundaries of hip-hop. You'll thank him in 10 years. An excellent album.

Jul 29, 2013Yeezus is a perfect example of trying out new sounds and succeeding at them. The album has futuristic, electronic vibes, great samples and overall production, and the experimentation is a breath of fresh air for the rap music genre. Not much negativity about Yeezus, it's a great 40 minute listen.
-
Mar 12, 2014The album is an angry, muddled, ignorant, slapped-together heap of vulgar expression that works better than anyone else in music could've done. It's an album so angrily sure of itself it'll have you convinced that a man worth 100 million dollars faces oppression comparable to that of a slave.

Apr 25, 2019This album is the most misunderstood album of all time. People are finally understanding the greatness of this album, it has the best production of any Kanye album, and top tier lyricsm too. This is a top 5 album of all time. This will go down as a classic soon enough.
-
Sep 26, 2021This album is incredible and is my favorite album of all time. If you showed this album to a person from 100 years ago they would melt into a puddle. The production is absolutely mad. There is nothing bad I can say about this album.

Jun 18, 2013This is truly a work of art that needs multiple listens to fully appreciate it for what it is. Yeezus is a huge creative chance and the only guy who could pull it off with such perfection is Kanye West. Yeezus isn't the Hip-Hop album out on June 18th, but it is the best album.
-
Jun 18, 2013This, is quite simply, the greatest project Mr. Kanye Omari Yeezus West has ever created EVER. Anyone who says otherwise is a hipster who says "his old music is better". Other than that the naysayers are idiots who aren't rap fans to begin with. Highlights of the album are I'm In It, I Am A God,Blood on the Leaves & New......f*ck it. THE WHOLE ALBUM IS AMAZING... GO BUY IT NOW. OR ELSE.
-
Jun 21, 2013first listen i was heavily disappointed, but having faith in Kanye I listened again and it sounded much better. With every listen the record grew on me as I discovered new layers to it, and it once again shows that Kanye is the most innovative artist out right now in pulling this off.
-
Jul 11, 2014Got some real great Material this album, different and very interesting. Besides the minimalistic and ridiculous Album Cover which is still kinda great but also **** up
-
May 1, 2016Simultaneously the best and most hated album of 2013. This polarizing, meticulous and grand follow up to his masterpiece, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy", is relentlessly challenging to listeners and will instantly turn you off from the first track. However it is something you need to stick with and embrace its view and it pays off hugely.

Jul 18, 2021Yeezus is one of the best albums I have ever listened to and its arguably kanyes best
-
Mar 20, 2022Best album ever made me very happy I really like on sight and bound 2 and some the leaks from this album are amazing as well

Jun 18, 2013Yeezus is captivating, exhilarating and mind blowing at the same time. Every song has it's own entity and it pushes new boundaries for hip hop and music as a whole. If Kanye would put out a single from the album, Blood on the leaves would be the perfect single coming from this diverse 10 track disc.
-

Jun 21, 2013Great album, took me a few plays to appreciate it, but worth while. Lyrically I felt it lacked a touch which is why I wouldn't give it a full 10. xxxx
-

Jun 19, 2013I can see why people don't like this album...its very different. But Kanye is Kanye and he always does something different..I think this album will grow much more on the people who don't like it if they just take it for what it is. Great album imo.

Jun 22, 2013I've been listening to music from different generation 60's 70's 80's 90's and this generation no album made me this speechless this i by far the best album this year and one of my favorite albums of all time This album is not for everybody but you should give it a listen to see if it's for you
-
Jun 18, 2013Yeezus is the type of album you can listen to if your sad, happy, or angry. I was disappointed after the first listen, but after a couple more this album grows on you.
-
Jun 19, 2013This album is amazing except for the first song, which starts the entire ordeal on a sour note. However, by the time "Hold my liquor" is reached, the album has reached it's epitome, and ending the album on "Bound 2" was hands down an excellent choice. Perfect.

Jul 1, 2015Great album, although it did make me cringe the first couple of times i listened to it, but the more i started listening to it, the better it got, which (in my opinion) makes this album worth listening to, more than once.

Nov 27, 2017Kanye's most boundary breaking project. Yeezus is a force to be reckoned with, an album that will influence many more to come over the next couple decades. A modern masterpiece, even beyond hip hop's standards. There is nothing quite like it.
-
Jan 25, 2021Actually I don't know why people do hate this album. This album has just 1 skip (Guilt Trip), and it isn't that bad. It was too far ahead for being an album released in 2013. It aged well.
The best tracks are:
On Sight,
Black Skinhead,
Bound 2
I give a 9 because some parts of the album are annoying, without sense and to skip. -
Jul 29, 2021Raw, loud, rude, offensive, hyper-sexual, gross, explicit, blasphemous, egotistical...all reasons why this is my all time favorite Kanye West project, even more than My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Black Skinhead alone makes this album worth it.
-
Sep 8, 2021pretty good album, not so many memorable trakcs imo but still consistent and has Bound 2 probably top 10 kanye tracks
-
Oct 12, 2021Ye’s best. This album started the trend of Mickey D’s sprite so very influential towards the music community

Jun 18, 2013This album will define every hip-hop album after it. So So different, that u want to hate it at first, but after, its genius. HURRY UP WITH MY DAMN CROISSANTS!!!

Jun 18, 2013Unbelieveable album. Top-notch album with amazing production, and as per usual, Ye's mixture of politics, religion and humour in his lyrics. Put it this way, he made Chief Keef sound good.. And we all know how bad he is!
-
Apr 3, 2020I have been listening to rap/hip hop since 1980 when it had a small slot on pirate radio stations late at night. Make no mistake, this is an absolutely fantastic album. The use of “Strange Fruit” is highly questionable and I feel guilty for liking that track.

Jun 18, 2013This album moves hip-hop into a new era, its THAT good. Every song brings a new element into the genre, my personal favorites being Send It Up, I am A God, who am I kidding, they all are my favorites. Its not quite as good as My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, but it's definitely his 2nd best album to date, 10/10.

Oct 9, 2013A slick, different kind of album. I suppose it is typical of Kanye to create something a little unexpected (yes, irony), but still have little ties to his previous work. I like the beats more than the lyrics on the whole of the album but you cannot deny that Kanye is great, an artist (and not just your typical rapper), at what he does and he is sure to surprise us in the follow up to Yeezus.
-
Oct 15, 2013Yeezus. You either love it or you hate it. I love it. Blood on the leaves is permanently stuck in my brain; the last minute and a half of that song... Amazing work Mr. Kanye West.

Apr 17, 2015Once again Kanye To The, Chi town god, delivers again. Kanye is the greatest artist on the planet right now, no debate. Yeezus is a masterpiece about his struggles being accepted. Kanye touches on very serious topics while keeping humorous. Incredible beats and harsh notes make this album special, only Kanye would try something like this and it works to perfection.
-
Jun 7, 2015If he weren't seen as a celebrity, Kanye would be hailed as a true artist for this album. This is a giant middle finger to the music industry, not unlike Kid A was for Radiohead. Kanye proves that despite his obnoxious arrogance, he really may, in fact, be a genius 10/10—"New Slaves", "Black Skinhead", "Bound 2".

Dec 23, 2016Kanye West is, without a doubt, the biggest musical genius of the last 10 years, no make that the last 100 years. Given the complexity of this album, the only competition Kanye really has in music is made up of history's greatest classical composers. People who say otherwise are in denial.
-
Oct 23, 2018Imagine a world where kanye decided im going to become an epic memer. This is this album. im in It is the best song but yet i did not see kanye once in the movie "It" i was quite confused in where he was in the movie but he clearly wasnt in it. This album is great though
-
May 6, 2019This is such a amazing album. You either hate it or love it but I know eventually everyone will love it.
-
Oct 29, 2019Close to perfection. One of the most experimental rap albums of all time. Kanye pushes the bouandries as always here.
It ages perfectly:
Standouts: Almost every song, but New Slaves and blood on the leaves standes as the best songs.
Least: Im in it is the only song that I can skip, the rest is flawless -
Apr 10, 2020Yeezus is a 10/10 and one of the best hip-hop album of all time. Possibly Kanye West’s best accomplishment after MBDTF

Jun 18, 2013Very experimental hip hop album, but it comes together very well. This album is dark and edgy, especially in the beginning. If you're looking for great lyrical content then this is not the album for you, because the lyrics are average at best, but what this album lacks in lyrical content it excels in production.
-
Jun 18, 2013An incredible album. Truly. Great production, entertaining and provocative lyrics. Cemented classic by Pitchfork (9.5). This is the opposite of J Coal's audio nyquil.

Jun 18, 2013Innovation in hip hop amazing album do not listen to the haters they are just late comers and are gonna love it in the end! this album changes everything you thought you knew hip hop it will blow your mind.
-
Jun 18, 2013Kanye's lyrics are both as lazy and as clever as ever, but the production is incredible. Occasionally repetitive flow, but Kanye's album gives me the same feeling as listening to "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy". Great album, and a new take and sound to his music.
-
Jun 18, 2013People need to listen. Listen. You will not like it, You will LOVE IT. It changes everything. Give it a second, third and fourth listen. I bet you that you will love it. Evolution. Every time. Good Job Kanye WeST.

Jun 21, 2013This albums so special, it really is masterpiece with the mix of electronic beats and dark aura with Yeezy's lyrics cutting deep making it uniquely amazing. This is the start of the revival of Rap with J.Cole, Wale, Jay-Z and Drake to follow.

Jul 6, 2013This album is a masterpiece. I don't know why people have stated that they dislike this album, they must not know what good music is. Every song is amazing and the incorporation of rap, drill house, and dance-hall make this album better than born sinner and Magna Carta Holy Grail 10 times over.

Mar 2, 2015This album whether you like it or not has changed modern rap forever. I consider this to be the best album of my lifetime. Each song delivers a power packed/lyrically jaw-dropping experience. Kanye has moved in a bold new direction and he has done it in full force and achieved a classic. I hope he continues down this path for "So help me god"
-
Feb 15, 2016Yeezus is like a fine wine. After the first listen, someone may wonder what the heck Kanye was thinking pushing out a minimalist, ten song album. Upon further listenings, however, one can see the genius behind the album and the intricacies behind each song. This album follows with Kanye's trend to stray away from the crowd and create unique masterpieces.
-
Feb 15, 2016This is West's winner. It encapsulates the Kanye West of today and of, seemingly, the future. Sonically, it breaches every wall. But more importantly, many of those walls Kanye himself helped build.

Oct 26, 2019This isn't just best kanye album also it is the greatest album of all time that shares similar sounds with money store by death grips

Oct 28, 2019Another Kanye classic that fully incorporates his angst and passion over experimental trap sounding beats
