    It's clearly unfinished. The best is yet to come. So far there are about 3 or 4 bangers, some unfinished songs and some filler material. It needs another drop. The beats are all good, the lyrics need some work. True Love, First Time in a Long Time, Lord Lift Me Up, Easy and We Did It Kid (this one reminds me of All of the Lights) are great. Future is the weakest link on the album to be honest.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall Donda 2 is not a completely finished album. People be trying to hate on it without waiting for the album to be finished. It’s the Miami version at the time of this review and more listening sessions will be held in the future as one is planned in Miami Gardens around April 15th. We should get a more complete album around that time. Anyways this album gives me an “so help me god” type vibe mixed with some aspects of donda and the scrapped turbo graphics 16. I felt that the way Kanye used his beats to convey his mindset and his feelings toward going on in his life. I thought really the Miami version deserves a 6.5/10 but this should improve as the album is completely finished over the next 3-5 months.… Expand

    I am giving a 10 to this only to try to balance the many 0 that people give. Clearly not finished most songs sound like demos, definitily theres some good potencial

    It's hard not to notice how polar people's reviews are.
    Seems like You will love it or hate it. No 'in between' option.

    The current release of the album otherwise known as Donda 2 — is a noticeably unfinished album. ... Not that the album is unfinished to the point it's entirely unsatisfying; there are clear winners here.

    The rawness of Kanye West’s current existence manifests in music that actually means something, which is the first time we’ve been able to say that about a Kanye album in some time.

    Every now and then, he can still crank out his signature sweeping production or drop a line that stops you in your tracks. But no minor edit or revamped version of Donda 2 can conceal the album’s inherent flaw: It is presented as a revolutionary work but it is decidedly a non-event.
