Mar 29, 2014Brilliance mixed with Ignorance with a side of Egotistical-ness, if thats even a word. But overall for what it is being an experimental album, I really feel like Kanye delivered just in a different way then he did with MBDTF, Dropout, and LR

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.

Nov 29, 2016The production is completely out of this world. It is not because it is overly experimental, but rather incredibly ambitious. It succeeds in everything it tries to do and then some. My only complaint would be the lyrics that aren't up to par with some of Kanye's previous work.

May 16, 2017Loud, brash, abrasive, and in-your-face, Yeezus does not hesitate to make its presence known. This could be highly regarded as Kanye's best work, West uses techniques and sounds that he had not previously done in his other works, but he implements it with such eloquence, ingeniousness, and confidence that it is difficult to not be a complete fan of.

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 21, 2018Some will not be able to see beyond the god complex. Yeezus is unique and marks a new stage in modern music.

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 -
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.

Jan 10, 2022Este álbum es muy especial.
Quitando de lado alguna letra que otra y el egocentrismo de Kanye, este álbum tiene un sonido muy raro pero que a mi me encanta.
Si a alguno no le gusta es totalmente razonable. Para mi, es uno de los mejores proyectos de Kanye. -
Feb 7, 2022Went from being disappointed in Kanye for making this to absolutely loving it. It takes a few listens to fully appreciate the album. Not his best work tho ngl. The lyrics are pretty bad that's why it's not a ten

May 3, 2022A fantastic experimental noise album with some really nice breaks in between. The perfect album to introduce your weird dad to hip-hop with. While not an essential hip-hop record, you are surely missing out if you haven't heard it. It's a grower to be sure, but if you listen to it more than once you might grow to love it. We keep it 300 like the romans.
-
Jun 21, 2013This Kanye's most out there album to date, but that does not mean it's not up there with his best. At first listen it might seem that West has taken the easy way out, trading his signature production for hard beats and blips that sound more like a acid Nine Inch Nails, but after further evaluation the listener will grow to appreciate the album for simple masterpiece that it is.

Jan 18, 2015This album is so underrated by the internet, so its great to see critics give it a decent rating. Yeezus is produced to intentionally be dirty and sound unproduced. I love it because it really represents how crazy Kanye West has become as an artist, and how little he cares about his audience. As usual, he has some great metaphors and sick rhymes that emphasize the points he makes about racism.

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.
-
Jun 19, 2013Is this album Yeezy’s best? Not quite. But is it unlike anything he has ever produced? Definitely. It’s eccentric, unnatural, and about as far away from the Kanye we all know and sometimes love, but Kanye proclaims himself as the Jesus of the game today, and if he keeps diving into new frontiers, then that shouldn’t change.

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.
-
Jul 11, 2013Undoubtedly Kanye's most harsh, dark, and experimental work, Yeezus is the culmination of his egoism and productive creativity. Unfortunately, his latest album fails to lyrically live up to MBDTF.
-
Jul 21, 2013West's new album still suffers from dumbfounded lyrics and pretentious segments, but has a lot of excellent collaborators (such as Frank Ocean and Daft Punk) and simplistic but masterful beats. Most of the songs are very distinctive and show that Kanye is back in the game.
-
Jan 12, 2014A solid, innovative album, but a little bit offensive. This sounds like an M.I.A. album. My favs are Blood on the leaves, Black Skinhead & Bound 2 (BBB lol).
-
Oct 12, 2013Great production. Terrible lyrics. Poor delivery. It sounds rushed, why ruin a potential classic with just a poor performance? I really think ye's passion for music has gone. Hope his next solo is a classic.

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.

Mar 22, 201676/100. Kanye put out a really interesting album here, and it is carried by a few songs, but held down by others. "On Sight" and "I Am a God" are two of the worst songs Kanye has ever put out, while "Hold My Liquor", "I'm In It", "Blood on the Leaves" and "Bound 2" are among the best. You get a mixed bag with this album, but overall it has enough great songs to make it a good album.
-
Mar 25, 2018A very ambitious album and ahead of it's time with unorthodox song arrangements.
1. On Sight - B+
2. Black Skinhead - A
3. I Am A God - A+
4. New Slaves - A+
5. Hold My Liquor - B
6. I'm In It - B-
7. Blood On The Leaves - A
8. Guilt Trip - B-
9. Send It Up - B-
10. Bound 2 - B+ -

Aug 29, 2021chaos, experimentation, God, dirty rap, love, paranoia. The first time you listen to it you think, "What a quirk, how can anyone like this?" After listening a few times and understanding what you're listening to you have, "This is sick, but what a beautiful thing."

Jun 28, 2022I can't lie - I did not enjoy this initially. It really grew on me eventually however, and I gotta say there's nothing really like this LP. I love it. My favorite songs are Black Skinhead, I Am A God, New Slaves, Hold My Liquor, I'm In It, Blood On The Leaves, Bound 2.

Jan 29, 2023Despite being the worst album out of his amazing 8 album run of great albums, it's not anywhere near a bad album. The production is unique and still sounds nice despite the experimental style.

Jun 18, 2013Kanye's infamous transformation from a former genius and groundbreaking artist to an obscene, average-talented rapper and producer started with whatever "Cruel Summer" was supposed to be and eventually peaked in "Yeezus". He has somehow managed to be on a level with Kendrick Lamar and that's not a compliment at all.
-
Jun 19, 2013It is hard to follow up what is arguably one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. Kayne gave it is best go with Yeezus. A lot of variation in ratings shows the high expectation of Yeezus, and it probably fell short of what I expected, but was still a very high quality album.

Sep 5, 2013Good production really dark and entertaining, a new standard of poor lyrics for Kanye. (In a french ass restaurant, hurry up with my damn croissants!).
-
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.

Mar 11, 2017This is the first Kanye album I consider the new Kanye it's a good album however not his best. There is not much variation in this album with most the songs being songs I can jam to in the car. This is also by far his most egocentric project with the songs like I Am A God.
-
Jul 28, 2019A mixed bag with a lot of forgettable tracks but also a few incredible moments. It's abrasive, odd and rough around the edges. It is also the first time in Kanye's career where he was notably not ahead of the pack artistically, drawing major influence from groups like Death Grips, but it was still an interesting and necessary piece to his legendary discography.

Nov 14, 2018The lyrics are often quotable but generally quite tiresome and bad. The production also get tiresome at times. But some parts of this album is on a whole other dimension of music

Least Fav Tracks: On Sight, Send It Up
My Rating: Strong 7/10 -
