    Sem identidade, músicas péssimas, uma pessoa que não segue valores cristãos, usando religião.Espero que um dia faça algo que realmente transparece o que você é.

    An unfunded and cliche album. Kanye did best, but just in the 2000s. This sounds like a joke.

    His music is just becoming worse and worser. Maybe he needs to retire, it's for the best.

    It's almost impossible to think that this same guy made MBDTF. The album is really pretentious, some songs are boring and lyrically, it's just weak.

    Funny how the got me is "Jesus is King" when ratye has nothing to do with religion or even being a decent human being. This album is a complete mess.

    Very bad. Lyrics are very weak and not good. As kanye is bad person the album is also showing the effect even also by inserting name of god the album can not be saved

    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.

    This album is simply not good. None of the songs are catchy and Kanye hasn't had a good song in years. Perhaps if he focused more on his music and less on being a terrible person, this album wouldn't be a flop.

    Incoerente, falsa personalidade e totalmente desprovido de autenticidade. Usou tema religioso apenas pra chamar atenção de um novo público e mesmo assim não deu certo. Fracasso!!

    Horrible... The way this album was written and named feels like he was Christian is whole life but the way it's presented feels like he just joined the faith yesterday.

    this album sounds like a really bad joke. The fact that this album is about god doesn't justify the lackluster lyrics and production. I loved every kanye album but this one is a hot mess.

    A sonic experience like no other, even if you aren't the religious type. Very comparable sonically to 808s and Yeezus, with a blend of new themes brought forward by Kanye. Although current reception is mixed, I believe this album marks a new and welcomed shift in his discography, not necessarily in a permanently religious way but instead in a more authentic portrayal of voicing his innerA sonic experience like no other, even if you aren't the religious type.

Although current reception is mixed, I believe this album marks a new and welcomed shift in his discography, not necessarily in a permanently religious way but instead in a more authentic portrayal of voicing his inner ideas in a direct way. I applaud the fact that he took this risk.

    My favorite song off the album so far is Hands On, due to the immense soundscape produced on the track.

    I don't know what disturbs me more, the fact that Kanye West is turning to religion to earn money, or the fact that the horrible lyrics, the autotune and boring beats are merged together in this album to create barely-2-minute songs that sound like a teenager talking about religion for the first time.

    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.
