    This album is just a mess, there are a few good songs but sir, 27 tracks… The tracklist is just all over the place, making difficult to get involved in the project.

DONDA is a total failure musically speaking, so much so that the only way to make this album worth talking about is to have a bunch of morally and ethically questionable people in it. Long gone are the days where Kanye West cared more about the music rather than staying relevant. Would DONDA really be what it is if it wasn't for Kanye's antics and controversies? No, the answer is no. DONDA is mediocre at best and in a few months no one will remember a single song from this album. It's also sort of sad that the one album named after his mother, is the one that shows how empty and self centered Kanye West is. DONDA is an album meant to entertain but not musically speaking and that is how Mr. West decided the album to be. 27 songs and not a single song worth listening more than once. DONDA is defenitely the most overrated album of recent years. Hopefully next time West decides to put an album he thinks about the music rather than his marketing strategy to make people believe through mere spectacle that his album is worth listening to. Do yourself a favor and skip every single song on this album and instead stream My Beautiful Twisted Dark Fantasy.… Expand

    Well he did, but it was a miss. The album is too long, if it had stayed a 8 track album maybe it would salvage itself into an introduction to the next album he does, which would have been a cool tease.

    But the tracks fall into unprofessional cuts with annoying wanna be outdate kayne wanna be beats... and it just sounds off, lame and especially with the HYPE, it ended up as a torture deal to hear all those 27 tracks with no sense of structure.

    I dislike this album and it sucks because it had to much potential, just how many times you gotta say jesus and lord and talk about how god heals, yet you act like a dick in real life , egotistical and at times confused and lost , isnt that the purpose of gospel music?

    An album with so many great ideas but lack of care and rush prevents it from reaching any of the potential it reaches for. Disappointing because this album could’ve been one of his best in years. Songs like Believe What I Say & Come To Life show he’s still has it in him but lacks the focus or perfectionism he once had to pull it all together.

    Horrible, increíble que se pueda hacer un álbum tan malo. Kanye West va en picada.

    Just a ton of tired songs with not a ton of variety literally one of his worst albums.

    Few songs are gems but not because of kanye but because of the features, don't know what kanye brings to the album. Other artists carried the load for him.

    Extreme mids. Kanye and religion is the worst thing since eminem and politics. Donda

    An elevated being, making an elevated album. A mix of gospel and new age rap, makes for a beautiful record.

    Very underwhelming album that is really overhyped, couple good songs on it but other than that not my cup of tea, Kanye gotta drop the gospel stuff man

    This has to be the worst album ye has released. It’s all over the place and a whole mess. He has definitely gone downhill. Overhyped album that was a huge letdown.

    Only 4/27 songs were good honestly. Couldn’t get through majority of the album. He has not evolved at all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Did not enjoy this album. Kanye was carried by the features. This album does not touch his earlier work in terms of quality. It was an extensive album in terms of length but I didn’t hear anything that makes me want to listen for the full duration. Unfortunately, Kanye has well and truly fell off.… Expand

    Though this isn’t a complete comeback, frustrated Kanye fans certainly have more grounds for optimism after this record than they did before it.

    Donda isn't without its highlights, but taken as a whole, it's both confused and confusing.

    There are times where Kanye recaptures the magic of his golden years. ... But there just isn’t enough good here to look past the flaws. The final result is a collection of songs with little binding energy other than a vague Gospel through line, which runs across the tracklist — chaotic like The Life Of Pablo but devoid of the magic.
