    Good production and a good listen. Kanye seems happier now and i’m glad that this album reflects his new faith. Not the album I was expecting, but i like the use of gospel and the new kanye.

    You don't have to be religious to enjoy what was a solid effort by West to express the new feelings of profound spirituality the man is now feeling. This feels completely different than what we've heard from him before because this is a new Kanye. This is him putting his faith into creating music that touches the soul, and there definitely are tracks that do so.

    Seu melhor trabalho desde Yeezus. Kanye traz adoração em forma de música, não perdendo sua identidade que construiu durante anos.

    gostei desse álbum, parece que ele vem mais tentando se redimir pelas entrevistas onde ele não consegue se controlar pela bipolaridade e tudo. um álbum religioso que critica a religião e até cristãos nas letras. Não é uma masterpiece como Yeezus ou MBDTF mas é um lindo álbum

    Not too familiar with Kanye's music, I was expecting this to be some kind of glossy Hillsong type of a record, but was surprised with how rich and eclectic the sound was. Granted, the album seems a little too short and some of songs end abruptly – like they were cut off by mistake. I really like the instrumentation and the choir, which unfortunately wasn't utilised to its full potential.Not too familiar with Kanye's music, I was expecting this to be some kind of glossy Hillsong type of a record, but was surprised with how rich and eclectic the sound was.

Ye is fervent here like never before and you can feel he's coming straight from the heart so strong you cannot ignore it. --And I don't want to. Songs such as Closed on Sunday combine music with clever lyrics to create a true auditory experience.

    Most of the songs in this album are ones you can really feel as you listen to it. Usually I only buy individual songs, rarely do I purchase an entire album. This is one of those rare circumstances where I bought the entire thing because it was just that good.

    Some people have complained that this album does not have fully fleshed out theological ruminations. But that's not what it's meant to have. New and non-Christians can enjoy this and, besides, Ye is a new Christian himself. But tbh "Jesus loves me" is a very deep, commonly known song. Anyone who says otherwise has not explored the depth of that revelation. My point? You will get whatever depth you wish to from the album. But forgetting that weird critic on a metric that's inapplicable to the album, the music itself is well-made and certainly worth purchasing.    … Expand

    The album was alright. Not the greatest album kanye has made. What I think is that kanye wants to experiment with new sounds. There was some good tracks but it kinda died in the middle of the album. It wasn't bad or an masterpiece.

    Kanye's chaotic mind tackles several aspects and challenges of devotion to Jesus in a beautiful display of genres. His characteristic chipmunk soul sampling is stronger than ever. Some production aspects were kinda sloppy, but I loved the album.

    Certified Album of the year!

    Kanye did it again he made a Masterpiece and the people disliking it are snakes.

    The songs all sound like they are made in heaven. When I listen to the songs it feels like I'm floating in the air and being blissful on a magical soundscape.

As for Kanye, it feels like he actually has a purpose this time. The Life of Pablo captured his headspace as he was going through meltdown after meltdown, Ye captured his reaction to being hated by damn near everyone because of his political beliefs (and to be fair he should be critiqued for that) but now he’s sort of going back to his roots and then turning it up to 10. This whole album feels like Jesus Walks on steroids and while it isn’t perfect, it’s still pretty freaking awesome.… Expand

The collaborations are on point as well: Ant Clemons, Ty Dolla $ign, Clipse (reunited) and Kenny G. The track On God feats great producing by the super talented Pierre Bourne and a controversial “13th amendment gotta end” line which may be a problem for those that are not aware/educated on the subject. Nothing new in a Kanye project, who is marked with controversial statements and lines throughout his discography. The only let down is the abrupt ending in Jesus is Lord, but it’s no big deal reallty.… Expand

People still hate on him as a person and claim that his quality of music is declining, but he’s actually experimenting with new themes and sounds, so all of his albums are unique.

    This album is really good sonically and emotionally. Most people would say it isn't good because of the partially cheap lyrics or because it isn't a hip-hop album. However, the mixing of some songs could be better.

    Overall a solid album. Production is top notch, a few really good songs such as Selah and On god. However, sounds unfinished and rushed. Album still ranks towards bottom of Ye’s discography

    KANYE IS BACK!!!! After so long the MR. West that made masterpieces such as Yeezus, 808s and heartbreak and of course My beautiful dark twisted fantasy is back and he is on a mission to spread the lords word. This is the best produced gospel album and the whole thing is unique and unlike anything anyone has ever heard. Welcome back MR.WEST!!!

    This album sounds amazing, the gospel choirs and the flows on this project are really refreshing. The instrumentals are really unique and very Kanye. Definitely will be listening to this one for a while.

    game changing album, he’s preaching things that nobody is talking about: family, faith, God, and most importantly to formulate your own opinions

    The album is very good. It makes me want to go back and listen to it. I understand swifties wanting throw shade to it, but Kanye makes good music and that is a fact. God is, is one of the best songs of the album.

    Compared to Kanye’s previous work, this would be a 3.5/10. But compared to the rest of the world this is a 7/10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Uns do melhores álbuns que já ouvi, sem dúvidas. Uma pena que a indústria musical por sua maioria é sexistas, objetifica a imagem feminina e viciada em sexo. Álbuns que carregam realmente uma mensagem fora disto seja ela qual for não são enaltecidos.… Expand

    This is Kanye album. It’s an experience that ruffles feathers and shifts the paradigm. That’s why we all come to experience Kanye art. The people rating it down are Supreme dorks who’ve never appreciated the nuisances Kanye puts in his projects, but just that it sounds cool. I stand by this album fully.

    Despite the obvious mixing and mastering flaws on this album, possibly from the frantic rush trying to get this album finished by his deadline. I'd say the overall music on this album is great.

    Incrível, emocionante e que nos toca de uma forma única. Do começo ao fim nos surpreende e emociona. Atenção pra faixa "Selah" que sem dúvidas é o destaque do disco.

    This album is pretty solid overall. The songs on this album are pretty short which makes it feel more like a demo tape or mixtape. It's a very well-produced album. The weakest part about the album is the lyrics. some of the bars are awful and very corny. Even though the album has many moments with corny lines it is still a great listen.

    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.
