    Extremely well made and produced album. Each song has their own character and charm. When i first listened to it, it made me literally jump from my chair in joy. This album will be remembered and loved for years to come. Some songs like "On God", "Closed on Sundays" and "Use this Gospel" are complete BANGERS. The bass line with the synths on "On God" are some of my favorites from any albumExtremely well made and produced album. Each song has their own character and charm.

I feel that the lyrics in the song are very well written and catchy. I gave this album a 10 because personally, I feel that Kanye was just saying straight facts in this Album.… Expand

    Completely garbage. This album is so far the worst album of all time. Kanye tried to get a buzz saying that he ws the greatest artist of all time but all that showed here was a desperate try that of course failed in matter of minutes . There are at least ONE song that everyone's ear don't bleed while it listens to it. Bad, too bqd. Kanye, you promised us yhe best lbum ever, where is it?

    Kanye...imma let you finish...but Kanye had one of the worst albums of all time! It sounds like a bunch of unfinished demos...his career is over. It’s sad to think in the same decade he released MBDTF he released THIS MESS.

    I'm not religious but I can feel Kanye's passion for his religion through this album. The production alone makes this a standout in his discography. The lack of drums makes this a dramatic album along with the powerful verses. An instant classic.

    What a mess. Not an album for Kanye fans, not an album for fans of gospel. I'm not sure why this was made.

    nossa que album ruim, tudo ruim, produção ruim, eu nunca esperava isso do kanye eu era fã dele a 4 anos e ele ja fez tanta besteira q pensei que esse album ia vingar e impedir de eu pular do barco, mas nao ele veio com um lixo mal produzido, até meu cachorro lambendo as patas produz um som melhor, enfim, não faço mais parte da fã base, muito decepcionado com o album

    Hard to stomach someone so full of himself spouting a Christian message. Gratitude. Humility. Justice. Care for others. These are hallmarks of Christianity. They are also values Kanye doesn’t live and I would guess knows nothing about.

    Kanye West hasn't delivered a good album in years. He has become the musical equivalent of these art galleries that put up toilets for exposition and if you criticize it, they'll say you didn't understand the genius behind such art as that toilet.

    Kanye is trying too hard to sound original in "Jesus Is King", but the truth is: the album is completely boring, the tracks feels unfinished, his singing voice it's just ridiculous, i think he should keep selling his ugly shoes, he's not good at making music anymore, nothing impressive, nothing new, nothing special.

    Honestly, I was expecting more from Kanye. It's bland, doesn't contain any new elements, and his over confidence ruins it all. "I never trust a narcissist, but they love me".

    By far Ye's worst offering, not fit for a King, the best thing I can say is it's short!

    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.
