Oct 26, 2019Trump? Jesus? Trump? Jesus? Ye? Jesus? Jesus! JESUS!! GOD! Trump? YE! HESUS! JEEEESUSSSS!!
-
Oct 25, 2019This is so boring ....Nothing special. Music for churches. Where are the MBDTF days?
-
Oct 26, 2019Awful album. Not Kanye standards. He could ave done a gospel masterpiece but failed badly!
-
Oct 26, 2019Are you people ok? This is a disaster, I simply can't believe what I just heard
-
Oct 27, 2019Uhh Kanye being Kanye, but his statements became more invalid over time. In this album, he decided to completely lean on an ancient fiction book and abandon his very last breath of clear vision. Politics blur him off and for that sake he dove deep to fit his butt on conservative territory. Kanye oh Kanye, please enlighten me with liveliness of your music instead of this piece of foul corpse.
-
Oct 25, 2019Sonically dull, lyrically uninspired, and completely un-Kanye-like. Eleven songs and not a catchy hook in the bunch.
-
Oct 27, 2019This album is insulting to Jesus and I'm not even religious. While the album is poor in its own right, it's especially poor when taken in the context of the leaks leading up to this album, all of which were better than just about any song on the final product.
-
Oct 26, 2019So on the nose lyrics it's unbelievable. Some beats are OK but a handful of songs are unbelievably bad (closed on Sundays is mind numbing)
-
Oct 31, 2019Jesus is King is a mediocre Kanye Album. His weak rhymes and mediocre production ruin a would be decent album.
-
Oct 27, 2019Not many redeeming qualities throughout this album. Some moments of inspiration or impressive production, drowned and layered in horrible lyrics and a totally incohesive project. Save for 2-3 songs at most, there’s little replay value.
-
Oct 28, 2019Starts of pretty ok, but just gets more and more boring after that. Someone who is christian might enjoy it more than I do, but for me there is very little to enjoy about it.

Oct 26, 2019The Kanye we love has left the building. This felt entire album felt like false sentiment, making religion seem like a fad.
-
Oct 26, 2019By far Ye's worst offering, not fit for a King, the best thing I can say is it's short!
-
Oct 26, 2019Bad flow weak bars bad mixing messy thematic continuance... weakest Kanye album ever and I'm nervous to see where he goes from here
-
Oct 26, 2019Jesus is King is definitely Kanyes worst full length album. The beats that aren't generic are generally bad, the flows are basic, the lyrics are bad, and the message comes off as too preachy.

Nov 7, 2019It felt REALLY rushed, I'm dissapointed, the lyrics are half-assed but the production is incredible, saves it from being horrible
-
Aug 31, 2021Lackluster album with a singular theme of Christianity. An album that very much feels “by Christians for Christians” - which would not be an issue if the music itself was consistently good. Yet the album features only two good songs with “follow god” and “closed on Sunday” - the rest of the album is truly forgettable.
-
Dec 7, 2021Forgettable, some songs are really good, like Selah, Closed on Sunday, and Use this Gospel, but other than that I hate this album.
-
Oct 25, 2019I gave Ye a pass because the production was amazing, but this album is just bad through and through. I'm not sure how anyone is into this and the only redeeming quality is the Clipse feature.
-
Oct 27, 2019Two tracks on album is about to be good.
“Follow god” & “on god”.
Others are meanless and experimental hollow.
Really, really, TOTALLY wasted release! -
Oct 27, 2019This and Ye are incredibly forgettable LP's. I'm sure there is an audience for this and it is no longer me.
-
Oct 28, 2019Sad that it's the music of XXI century. Spare the time and listen to some good 70's bands instead
-
Oct 25, 2019Man oh man, what a let down. The 11 track, 27 min album was a big disappointment. In my opinion, the best track on there is "Everything We Need." Though that is my favorite track, I still have issues with it. One being the fact that its less than 2 min long. That song had full potential of being a banger but it just ended way too fast. I know a lot of yall were wanting another MBDTF; this isnt it.
-
Oct 26, 2019The album was tired. Absolute garbage, the fact that this man is still making music is an embarrassment not only to himself but to music as a whole
-
Mar 30, 2021Worst Kanye album and project, absolutely botched. Only a few tracks are very good, other are horrible.

Dec 30, 2019His reunion with frequent collaborators belies a rich history of discovering and championing new voices. This ostensible distance from which Kanye preaches reveals King’s true tension: Kanye, like Kendrick on DAMN., is asking for our prayers, while also distancing himself from our hands and our mouths. And it doesn’t work. ... He has artistically lost track of his audience and himself in its midst.
-
The WireNov 20, 2019He’s hung up on Jesus rather than pneumatic women. It’s hard to tell if that’s an improvement, but it doesn’t seem like a regression either. ... An album with zero fat, dense in at least three senses, two of them positive. [Dec 2019, p.60]
-
Nov 12, 2019As with every Kanye album, there’s some magnificent production on a majority of “Jesus Is King” courtesy of Pi’erre Bourne, Timbaland and Boogz, among others. ... Kanye just seems like he’s in his own world; disregarding what’s going on around him. Other times, Ye’s writing delves into eyerolling contradictions and ego-driven intentions.
