Aug 29, 2021One of Kanye's best albums. Such a beautiful and introspective artwork deserves the hype.
-
Aug 31, 2021I think it's a pretty solid album. Songs are catchy, the production isn't anything crazy and it may be a little simple, but it works. Lyrics are also decent. Overall, I think it's a pretty solid Kanye album, but I don't think Kanye wanted to take risks with this one.

Sep 10, 2021It's a really good album. The album was released at the hardest time of his life, and for that reason, sincere lyrics are included in the album. The proper harmony of the featuring and a new musical attempt show the value of this album.

Oct 22, 2022A great concept worked with creativity, respect and imagination. The problem are that is too long, with themes that really overshadow all. The polemic maybe has made the album be criticed before time.
-
Sep 12, 2021He deserved, great album because it’s something diferent. The art and styles is unique, thank you kanye very cool
-
Sep 9, 2021This album, for real.
Have something to heat your heart, i never listened to anything like this. It’s simple perfect. -
Sep 3, 2021I really like this album. Another example of Kanye not being afraid to take risks and bringing the best out of the artist he features. He blends different genres yet still makes the album sound cohesive. Songs like jail, come to life, off the grid are unlike anything I’ve heard from him before and I love all of them. Definitely his strongest album for me since Pablo.
-
Sep 7, 2021Kanye got the most out of his features. The sounds and topics that went into this project are absolutely amazing
-
May 5, 2022In my opinion, it's underappreciated. Kanye spreads his wings and combines a million sounds in a way that doesn't feel messy or unfocused most of the time. A brilliant line up of features and solid Kanye performances, I think it's his best solo project since Yeezus.
-
May 14, 2022This is probably Kanye's bets album since TLOP (excluding KIDS SEE GHOSTS).
Besides the fact that this album is a huge mess, I really enjoyed it. There are a lot of great tracks. It's a perfect mix between gospel music and rap music. -
May 16, 2022One of my favourite Kanye album, all the songs are amazing INCLUDING DONDA CHANT THANK YOU.
-
Jun 18, 2022One Of the most artistics rollouts i ever seen in my whole life,one of the bests or the best kanye album
-
Oct 6, 2022Anouther masterpiece from kanye west with no skips this is very underrated and is defnuated a 10/10 album
-
Aug 31, 2021Definitely not best Kanye album but it is not a 0 or a 6, a 7 is a good score for this record
-

Aug 30, 2021Great album. Jesus Lord part 2 is a top 10 Kanye song. Some mixing could be better and the pop smoke song is unpleasant, otherwise a generally great album.
-
Aug 30, 2021Kanye is a genius, no doubt. The production kinda lack of something idk. But overall a 9/10 album.
-
Sep 1, 2021
-
Aug 30, 2021"Donda" is a beautiful tribute to his mother Donda West and features some of his best work, such as Off The Grid, Come To Life, and Moon.
-
Aug 31, 2021Donda its a complex journey of songs that are different from each other and i think this point it's as the same time the most criticized by some people (omitting the controversial actions of the artist to criticize the album by some media)
So I think that with the passage of time this album could be better valued as it happened in the case of Yeezus.
9/10 -
Sep 1, 2021A not-so-cohesive collection of 27 amazingly wonderful songs. Melodic. Angelic.

Sep 1, 2021We can take some tracks out and make it sharper but i absolutely enjoyed the album and I liked the risk Kanye took I personally would have never thought he would work with Fivio Foreign or baby keem so taking those risks and making the most out of it is impressive Beautiful piece of art for sure this could make a strong run for album of the year.
-
Sep 3, 2021Refreshing new music. Some songs hit harder than others at certain time but I enjoy them all.
-
Sep 4, 2021What a rollercoaster. Influx of hits; he did it again. AOTD. JUNYA WATANABE ON MY REEEEEEE!!!
-
Aug 29, 2021What a beautiful album! Very thought provoking, chilling, emotional, spiritual. Top 3 Kanye!

Aug 30, 2021"donda donda donda donda"
I miss the old kanye. Ok, i like this album but he's now obsessed with Jesus, kim and his mother, Donda and that's ok, i think. -
Aug 31, 2021Its highs is goat material, but its to much to be perfect, impossible to have 0 duds on a 27 tracks album
-
Aug 31, 2021Craziest rollout ever, with a body of work to match the hype. 27 tracks, no skips.
-

-
Sep 1, 2021Easily his best album since Twisted Fantasy. All these mediocre/bad reviews are about the artist, not the art
-
Sep 1, 2021
-
Sep 4, 2021A return to greatness for Kanye. The highs on this album are some of the best things Kanye has put out in a decade. Jesus Lord, Off The Grid, Come To Life, Heaven and Hell, Lord I needed you are all top tier Kanye songs.
-
Sep 8, 2021This is a masterpiece. Ahead of its time - in 5 years it will be recognized as one.
-
Aug 30, 2021one of the best works since Kanyes West TLOP, is an amazing piece of music , with feelings and moments you can feel in every song, a good tribute to Donda west
-
Aug 30, 2021Album of the Year
-
Aug 30, 2021Kanye's best. The production, the lyrics, the features, and the sheer emotion displayed by Mr. West makes this album a 10/10. Truly an album for the ages
-
Aug 31, 2021Mejor que JIK eso sí, pero no tanto como TLOP o Ye.
Tiene tracks muy buenos y valen muchísimo la pena, sin embargo algunos llegan a sobrar o hubieran podido quedar mejor.
Si fuera un EP más corto de seguro tendría mejor recepción. -
Aug 30, 2021On “Come to Life”, a beautiful spine-tingling love-telling story off of Donda, Kanye sings about his desire for another life and wishing he had listened more to his wife, Kim Kardashian’s thoughts, dreams, and aspirations. He brings to light his mixed emotions about her presence and her absence while expressing how he doesn’t want to die alone without her specifically at his side.
-
Aug 30, 2021Kanye makes a beautiful comeback with this masterpiece. Songs are definitely not meant to be radio-hits, but that´s the beauty of it. Kanye takes risks with this album and there are definitely some gems between the long list of songs. People just think it´s cool to hate Ye.
-
Aug 30, 2021Pretty great album. Should have been shorter, I'd peak something like 20 tracks.
-
Aug 30, 2021
-
Aug 30, 2021Best rollout of all time, even tho I could live without “tell the vision” and “remote control”
-
Aug 31, 2021No living hip hop artist can bring out so much raw emotion on tracks like Kanye can.
His best work since yeezus, maybe even since MBDTF. -

-
Aug 30, 2021Beautiful piece of art, been listening to it from the minute it dropped. No skips, always on repeat. The mixing is kinda off, but nothing that cant be worked out. Let ye be ye
-
Aug 30, 2021
-
Aug 29, 2021its not his best work by far, but it is still pretty good. give it a try you will like at least one track
-
Aug 29, 2021Album of the year for me. One of the best projects he has made since My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Yeezus and The Life of Pablo.
-
Aug 29, 2021Kanye delivers! Great features, melodies, and concepts throughout the album
-
Aug 29, 2021The wait was worth it, this could very well be my AOTY. This album has incredible production and vocals mixed in with great lyrics, The pt 2 tracks didn't need to be there but since they're pretty much just bonus tracks it doesn't impact my review

Aug 30, 2021GOAT, this is what we were waiting for, i dont care the bad person he is, i only care his music, i love him as artist, this will be your son’s favorite album on god, separe the person of the artist and this album is dope, michael jackson do worse things and everybody loves him, stop being hypocrites, this album is from the future, this album is another culture reset on god,
-
Aug 30, 2021If you don’t like this album, you must hate yourself and those around you with a strong passion.
This is the music of life. -
Aug 30, 2021A true masterpiece from the GOAT Ye, some of his best tracks in a while, "Come to Life" might be a top 3 Kanye song EVER.

Aug 31, 2021The great genius Kanye West delivers yet another masterpiece! This is easily the greatest album of the year, with the only potential competition being the next Limp Bizkit album. The lyrics are poignant and moving, and the music is beautiful and masterfully composed. I played this album for my atheist boyfriend, and he converted to Christianity.
-
Aug 30, 2021great rollout, great album, its clearly an evolving project just like TLOP, and it will probably be better if it keeps evolving, rap AOTY for me.
-
Aug 30, 2021This album is really good.
Passionate and makes you cry.
I reccomend it.
This album is a 9- (8.75) for me. -
Aug 30, 2021This Album Is Amazing! I Don't understand why people hate it this album is Amazing!!
-
Sep 1, 2021Just amazing and pure art. Metacritic is pure bs. Lol. Everyone knows Metacritic hate kanye. Do better, meta.
-
Sep 1, 2021One of my favorite Kanye albums, deep and touching lyrics, TLOP is my favorite Kanye album taking into account all the sound of the album, Donda managed to have more striking lyrics

Aug 31, 2021Seriously one of his best drops, is absolutely art. We are so grateful for blessing our ears like this
-
Aug 31, 2021A variety of energetic , deep and at some points dark songs that make the 108 minutes worth it, excellent vocals, production and lyrics, in my opinion it is the album of the year
For DONDA -
Aug 31, 2021A triumphant return to form and perfecting of previous album styles that is used to pay homage to his late mother and creating an album she would have liked from Ye
-
Aug 29, 2021This album defines greatness. Kanye never stops making art that is impactful and insightful. Respect.
-
Aug 30, 2021Listening to "donda" is a cultural reset, its the oxygen u breathe, a lifestyle, an escape from this cruel world filled with thieves, its an art, the first gift you open on christmas, hug from a loved one, everything u ever wanted.
Thank you, Kanye West -
Aug 30, 2021With all of the uncertainty in features and versions over the last few weeks. The final version, although I personally prefer some other versions of specific songs, has broken through my expectations! Incredible music again
-
Aug 30, 2021O ÁLBUM MAIS LINDO DO ANO! TE AMO KANYE, VOCÊ SALVOU MEU ANO COM ESSA OBRA DE ARTE.

Sep 3, 2021Though this isn’t a complete comeback, frustrated Kanye fans certainly have more grounds for optimism after this record than they did before it.
-
Sep 2, 2021Donda isn't without its highlights, but taken as a whole, it's both confused and confusing.
-
Sep 2, 2021There 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.
