    Certified Album of the year!

    Kanye did it again he made a Masterpiece and the people disliking it are snakes.

    The songs all sound like they are made in heaven. When I listen to the songs it feels like I'm floating in the air and being blissful on a magical soundscape.

The production is impeccable, breathtaking – specially in tracks like Selah, God Is and Water – showcasing how Kanye hasn’t lost his touch as a producer. The collaborations are on point as well: Ant Clemons, Ty Dolla $ign, Clipse (reunited) and Kenny G. The track On God feats great producing by the super talented Pierre Bourne and a controversial “13th amendment gotta end” line which may be a problem for those that are not aware/educated on the subject. Nothing new in a Kanye project, who is marked with controversial statements and lines throughout his discography. The only let down is the abrupt ending in Jesus is Lord, but it’s no big deal reallty.… Expand

    Kanye's chaotic mind tackles several aspects and challenges of devotion to Jesus in a beautiful display of genres. His characteristic chipmunk soul sampling is stronger than ever. Some production aspects were kinda sloppy, but I loved the album.

As for Kanye, it feels like he actually has a purpose this time. The Life of Pablo captured his headspace as he was going through meltdown after meltdown, Ye captured his reaction to being hated by damn near everyone because of his political beliefs (and to be fair he should be critiqued for that) but now he’s sort of going back to his roots and then turning it up to 10. This whole album feels like Jesus Walks on steroids and while it isn’t perfect, it’s still pretty freaking awesome.… Expand

    Hands down Kanye's worst album. An extremely disappointing effort from one of my favorite musicians. Generic lyrics with no real substance, just seem to be basically pandering to the christian crowd. You know it's bad when the leaked versions of these songs with incomplete lyrics are 100x better than the final versions...

The lyrics are ultimately the definition of who Kanye is today and is spoken only as boldly as Kanye could speak but through the most humbling verses he has ever delivered. This project separates itself from all of other Kanye's projects by including everything his albums had before but cutting out all of the extra bulk his albums did not need in the first place. The ego, the language, etc. all was cut out and replaced with what all his albums needed. JESUS. 10/10… Expand

    There's not much that you can write about in gospel music, as a singer. But I feel like in rap there was more than much space to create something completely innovative into blending these two genders (that we've seen before together). West failed to do so falling in the same patterns mainstream gospel, and serving disapointing vocals (especially hard to listen in God Is). Lyrics areThere's not much that you can write about in gospel music, as a singer. But I feel like in rap there was more than much space to create something completely innovative into blending these two genders (that we've seen before together). West failed to do so falling in the same patterns mainstream gospel, and serving disapointing vocals (especially hard to listen in God Is). Lyrics are confessive, but predictive and the interpretation ain't convincing. The good tracks: Follow God, Hands On and Selah. Kanye is way too far from being the greatest artist alive today.… Expand

    game changing album, he’s preaching things that nobody is talking about: family, faith, God, and most importantly to formulate your own opinions

    People often compare Kanye albums to other Kanye albums and fail to realise his talent has probably once again taken rap in a new direction

    Just so bad. Don’t waste your money on this joker. I gave a 1 to be nice but it doesn’t even deserve that. The man thinks he is God.

    wtf is going on - this is a very good album - stunning production, catchy structures of songs, nice flowing raps and strong gospel-elements - even if not groundbreaking most reviews are far to negative.

The production and instrumentals slaps in this song, to really experience the full power of the instrumentals and in-depth, I recommend full, surround sound speakers of the best noise cancelling headphones you can buy. Also, note that Kenny G saxophone solo is so so sweet to the soul. When it comes to Ye and his lyrical flow that we've seen for nine albums straight, it falls short and it's nothing but a disappointment.… Expand

    Such a disappointment. Really underwhelmed after waiting this long. Feel like he’s strayed too far from what made him great. I really doubt I’ll come back to this album like I do to the rest of his discography. Total misstep

    I just can’t stand this new Kanye West with this new personality who’s a Trump Republican supporter, and at the same time “Gospel”. Like Lana Del Rey said “Kanye West is dead”. I heard the album and it’s just TRASH!!! I couldn’t finish the whole album because it’s THAT BAD! Don’t waste your time. 0 rating

    Meu deus que álbum ruim kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk nem a p-rca da ariana conseguiu fazer algo tão sem identidade e sem proposta como o kanye, ele tentou se destacar pegando essa fórmula de rap mesclado com gospel e saiu ruim desse jeito, que decadência pra quem tem um My Beaultiful Dark Twisted Fantasy na discografia, volte a vender sapatos kanye, vc não serve mais pra música

    The album in it of itself is not revolutionary. It does not contribute to culture or art, is it redundant and a step back for Kanye.

    The music isn’t all completely terrible, but the new Kanye is awful. I just don’t buy this whole Christian act. And this whole Trump supporter act? It’s awful. At times the music on here is decent, but the lyrics tend to be cringy and feels more like they should be sung at bible camp by a bunch of Trump supporters. And I guess that’s ultimately what it is, music for Trump supporters. I’veThe music isn’t all completely terrible, but the new Kanye is awful. I just don’t buy this whole Christian act.

    His 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.

    He’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]

    As 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.
