    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.

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

    It just doesn’t cut it. It feels like the spectacle heading up to the album release was all he was really going for abs the listener is left confused. Only stans trying to make this album seen better than it really is

    I'm not sure if I hated this because I kept comparing it to his other work, but it's really bad. I guess we can call it an album?

    Easily Kanye's weakest album, and I'm a Stan. I don't think he's made anything truly great since Yeezus, but at least his other albums since then haven't been so bloated.

    Sparse production, repetitive lyrics. A few sparks of Kanye's creativity but this really isn't a good album.

    Kanye became a parody of himself and that's sad as hell. Bringing people like DaBaby and Marilyn Manson does not help him either.

    Pésimo, sobre producido y muy cargado, mucho relleno, la misma propuesta de siempre, Kanye viene entregando lo mismo desde 2013...

    It's unbelievable how mediocre West is. His music no longer sounds like art, just a cluster of lyrics seeking solace in the media scandal. West made the worst possible choices

    Album far short of the artist that Kanye West proved to be. Definitely sometimes I think this is just a passing outburst and that soon he will be aware of making good music again.

    His worst so far, Ye and JIK are terrible, a terrible run, hes going and moving like a madnan, really a pro-"freespeech" but done wrong, an advocate to lunacy

    Production was amazing. Features were great. Ye's lyrics were a little weak but fit with the album's sound. I was impressed by the album. Not perfect, but I don't think the negative reviews are warranted.

    Another album that really shows us that Kanye should have retired in 2009, What was once a promising artist, today only sins of repetitive and conflicting.

    Kanye tiene talento para la música, pero es difícil separar al artista de la persona cuando nos referimos a este sujeto, decir que es un cabrón sería ser demasiado cortés, no alimentaré su ego calificando bien su trabajo.

    Horrible, horrible album. Genre should change to gospel, 2 good tracks out of 26. Definitely his worst album, there's even a song with a woman saying Donda repeatedly a million times.

    So boring, i'd rather listen a BTS album than this. Almost 2 hours of nothing good. One of the worst albums of all time. Boring at all starting with the cover

    Kanye "Rape-Apologist" West
    The almost laughable inclusion of Marilyn Manson on a track called Jail pt2 is enraging and shows Kanye's true colours, this review is for all the women abused by this monster - my prayers go out to you.

    This album is so boring and monotone. Such a waste of time. I couldn't hear nothing worst than this.

    This album is a hot mess, too many songs, got bored quickly. He should’ve kept it shorter.

    nonsense lyrical content, boring beats, couple songs are good but the rest seems like some other unknown artist made it. sounds like rushed but it was delayed so many times I don't what the hell happened. this is not half as good as the old kanye work, he's lost his touch.

    So boring and excessively long. Donda leaves a sour taste that no number of good beats, gospel choirs, or church organs will cleanse. Zero stars.

    People go on and on about their political views and then decide to support this man. It is completely different to judge the art from awful people when their art doesn't reflect the awful people they are. It is not the case here. Independent said it best.

    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.
