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.

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.

May 11, 2016Kanye west is a genius and he knows it. Yeezus is an album that was way ahead of its time. Kanye is not afraid to try new sounds and has done this on Yeezus. He pulls it of amazingly as well with the electric beats which he is also spitting bars over

May 31, 2016This album may sometimes sound demonic but this one of the best albums I have ever listened to. This albums is very aggressive and talks a lot about race. Kanye West is brilliant and has a lot of creative, original references to many things I will not reveal. Just listen to the album on Spotify and find out why this album is amazing!

Oct 30, 2022Ye's magnum opus, and completely flawless hardcore electro-rap album. 10/10.

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.

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.

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.
-
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.

Apr 16, 2017Lean, mean, and brash, Kanye's stripped minimalism and shockingly crass lyricism makes for a brilliant album that explores the fractured psyche of a genius.
-
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.

Oct 26, 2019It's no question my favourite album of all time, the production is just insane, after listening to it, i started being to trying out new genres, and im glad i did that. All tracks are 10/10 for me, and On Sight is my favourite track on the album, and my favourite song overall.
-
Jul 7, 2017This album really grew on me, at first i only liked the popular songs like black skinhead and bound 2 but after listening to it a few more times i started loving the whole album. I did not get the hype about it at all in the beginning but im glad i gave it a proper chance

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
Favorite Tracks: Blood On the Leaves, New Slaves, Hold My Liquor, Bound 2
Least Fav Tracks: On Sight, Send It Up
My Rating: Strong 7/10 -
Apr 24, 2018I'm tired of hearing about whether or not you "get it" or not. Ultimately music opinion just boils down to what sounds good or not. And this sounds fantastic.

Nov 9, 2017Лучший альбом Канье, даже лучше My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, здесь Канье предстаёт во всех красе.Этот альбом-квинтэссенция всего его творчества.
-
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.
