Oct 25, 2019The production is splendid (as always because West's productions are always top-notch). The subject matter is not something that I really enjoy. I feel like West is experimenting things on this album and I appreciate his efforts, but I don't really feel the gospel vibe of JIK. Decent album

JESUS IS A KING
nota: 77/100 -
Oct 25, 2019Jesus Is King is definitely an album that you have to get used to and listen to with an open mind. This is not your normal Ye album and was worth the wait. He isn't talking about bad booty **** and stuff like that, he's talking about our lord and savior Jesus. I hope Jesus Is Born will be even grander.

Oct 26, 2019The sounds on the album are really good, the lyrics do feel a little bit lacking. I was kind of hoping for Kanye to tell us WHY Christianity saved him, not just preaching about it. Overall a solid album, but lyrics aren't as hard-hitting as they could've been
-
Oct 26, 2019Jesus is king is very good, if you exclude the poor mixing, underdeveloped lyrics and underdeveloped songs. The production is pretty nice and kanyes delivery is excellent as always
-
Oct 26, 2019The Kenny g sax was amazing. Was not expecting both clipse members. Beautiful album.

Oct 25, 2019When you can feel someones heart! Kanye became a Christian, best Christian album of all time. Anyone that needs to get life's without drugs should talk this thing for real. He wants the best for all... The man is very misunderstood.
-
Oct 25, 2019Second favorite of the year and of his discography. Elevates past works like Yeezus and Pablo.
-
Oct 26, 2019I'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.
-
Oct 26, 2019Real spill not capping Kanye was spitting the truth, makes you think a lot .
-

Oct 25, 2019Kanye delivers incredible production and bars, whole changing his sound. It's a big adjustment, but it is rewarding.
-
Oct 25, 2019Love it so much.............................................................................................
-
Oct 26, 2019Amazing album. One of his best and most coherent since Yeezus. Very focused lyric wise and the production is great. Don't let the Christian themes turn you off.
-
Oct 25, 2019Solid record but definitely doesn't compare to Kanye's past projects. Highlights include "Follow God" "On God" and "Closed on Sundays" excusing the horrendous Chik-Fil-A line. Listening goes by quite fast considering its only 27 minutes and left me a bit underwhelmed. Definitely a good project but a weak one for Kanye standards.
-
Oct 26, 2019Amazing album . Lush organic choirs , gospel music combined with hip hop influences and trap drums , this album won't disappoint you . This album could have been lengthier and a few songs felt kinda empty and anti climatic but nevertheless , this album is a masterpiece .
-
Oct 26, 2019This album is on a completely new level of a testament of faith. Kanye takes new leaps in production quality, past mental state battles, and his beliefs in the future to create one of the most important albums of his decade spanning career. Follow God, God Is, and Selah are standouts.
-
Oct 25, 2019The only thing missing is the cinematic atmosphere of his longer album cuts.
-
Oct 25, 2019Absolutely incredible album from start to finish!! Follow God and Use this Gospel
-
Oct 25, 2019
-
Oct 25, 2019As 2019 ends and a tumultuous 2020 begins, Kanye captures a flawed humanity asking for a final plea from God. A mix of warm beats and uplifting lyrics, West gives in to his spiritual shortcomings and embraces the eternal power of Jesus.
-
Oct 26, 2019As música com Sunday service perfeitas, tem músicas que lembram um pouco o yeezus. Adorei

Oct 25, 2019This album is AMAZING. Kanye never disappoints.. The production on this is MIND BLOWING.
-
Oct 25, 2019Excellent album. The production is amazing, so are the lyrics. Definitely in the top three of his best albums so far
-
Oct 25, 2019Some of Kanye’s greatest to date. Follow God and Selah are absolute bangers.
-
Oct 26, 2019
-
Oct 25, 2019Beautiful. In the context of this genre, it's a teaching class. About production this album is the perfect mix of all the musical resources that Kanye from the 00's hadn't available. This is an exquisite performance with expressive lyrics, instrumental majesty and a time-proof personal style.
-
Oct 25, 2019The sampling is briliiant and so is the all round production. A really uplifting feel.
-
Oct 25, 2019New Holy, new beat, new kanye.
The lyrics with heavy, deep beats and transcendental messages give fresh stimulation. -
Oct 25, 2019Very much worth the wait. The production is stellar as always and that clipse feature was a highlight of the album for sure. My only issue is that the record could have been longer!

Oct 25, 2019Simply amazing, the wait was really worth it, just no words to how amazing this album is. The production is classic Kanye, simply amazing. Kanye has been reborn.
(Ignore the bad reviews, they are just haters.) -
Oct 25, 2019The best album of Millennium, Kanye West i love u, rap Excellence. BOWN DOWN
-
Oct 26, 2019Are you people ok? This is a disaster, I simply can't believe what I just heard

Oct 25, 2019The best thing I can say is that it's short. Pretentious, boring -- and Kanye singing, which is always horrendous. Kanye is the worst kind of born-again-type -- boorish and self-absorbed - and now he want's everyone to believe what he does, because, you know, he's the greatest.
Rubbish -
Oct 26, 2019Awful album. Not Kanye standards. He could ave done a gospel masterpiece but failed badly!
-
Oct 26, 2019The Kanye we love has left the building. This felt entire album felt like false sentiment, making religion seem like a fad.
-
Jan 23, 2020Really bad album. It's not just the theme, it's bad executed..
Wasted beats on that album. Kanye should just hang it up and focus on churches -
Oct 26, 2019Trump? Jesus? Trump? Jesus? Ye? Jesus? Jesus! JESUS!! GOD! Trump? YE! HESUS! JEEEESUSSSS!!
-
Oct 25, 2019this 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.
-
Oct 25, 2019Sonically dull, lyrically uninspired, and completely un-Kanye-like. Eleven songs and not a catchy hook in the bunch.
-
Oct 25, 2019I gave Ye a pass because the production was amazing, but this album is just bad through and through. I'm not sure how anyone is into this and the only redeeming quality is the Clipse feature.
-

Oct 26, 2019So on the nose lyrics it's unbelievable. Some beats are OK but a handful of songs are unbelievably bad (closed on Sundays is mind numbing)

Oct 26, 2019O pior álbum da carreira dele. Espera bem mais mas pelo jeito ele morreu depois da briga com a Taylor Swift...
-
Oct 25, 2019This is so boring ....Nothing special. Music for churches. Where are the MBDTF days?

Oct 26, 2019Totally bad album, lack of cohesion and lack of articulation left the album Totally "poor".
-
Oct 26, 2019Honestly, 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".
-
Oct 25, 2019Most confusing album ever......
Wonder who’s still into him at this time... -
Oct 26, 2019Hard 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.
-
Oct 26, 2019This album is the second worst thing to happen to jesus, I can't even believe in this ****
-
Oct 25, 2019A new low-point for Ye. Hyper-religiosity is a common attribute of mental illness, and I cannot fault him for his sincere beliefs. However, the rhymes are weak and childlike.
-
Oct 26, 2019Kanye 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.
-
Oct 26, 2019Kanye 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.
-
Oct 26, 2019I 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.
-
Oct 25, 2019
-
Oct 27, 2019This album is insulting to Jesus and I'm not even religious. While the album is poor in its own right, it's especially poor when taken in the context of the leaks leading up to this album, all of which were better than just about any song on the final product.
-
Oct 28, 2019The album Jesus is king is so annoying, repetitive and boring. As músicas são clichês e previsíveis
-
Nov 21, 2019Usando o nome de Jesus pra esconder a face mal caráter que o próprio tem, não foi dessa vez que o marido da Kim conseguiu atrair a crítica positiva.. O álbum é chato, repetitivo, impessoal e de alguma maneira, demorado demais em 27 minutos...

Nov 15, 2019Just goes to show you people would give Kayne a 10 for anything he put out. This albums pure garbage. Actually, that’s an insult to garbage. This mfer has truly lost his mind.
-
Oct 28, 2019Sem 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.
-
Oct 28, 2019An unfunded and cliche album. Kanye did best, but just in the 2000s. This sounds like a joke.

Oct 28, 2019Starts of pretty ok, but just gets more and more boring after that. Someone who is christian might enjoy it more than I do, but for me there is very little to enjoy about it.
-
Oct 29, 2019Sort of like it. Mix got better after one day so it's kind of cheating. Selah and Use Gospel are the best, Water is bad.
-
Oct 28, 2019While a small departure I’m impressed and this is coming from someone who doesn’t consider themselves religious. In enjoyed it more due to the fact that it shows his journey to what he sees is his path to follow.

Feb 1, 2020This album is "good" but it just didn't stick with me. Production and vocals are great and do some interesting things. Maybe if I were more religious, this would be amazing.

-
Oct 27, 2019You 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.
-
Oct 27, 2019Jesus Is King, is a exploration of religious belief and appraisal of Jesus Christ. Though the subject matter is lacking, ( like is chick fil a really that good?? ) This album is still a well thought out album well there is a few mis haps in the mixing, still Kanye provides yet another great album combining his sincerity, creativity and bold subject matter.
-
Oct 27, 2019This 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.

Oct 27, 2019This ALBUM DESERVES MULTIPLE LISTENS BEFORE YOU RATE IT! it WILL grow on you! All I have to say is Wow! This album will be a classic. Some standout songs are follow god, and selah in my opinion. Taylor fans need to stop hating leave this man alone. I don't see Kanye's fans hating on Taylor's album giving unfair ratings.

Oct 27, 2019It shouldn't work - this gospel-rap combo - but somehow it does, and the result is pretty compelling. (I say this as an atheist, by the way, who, generally speaking, is allergic to religious art.)

Nov 4, 2019The album aims to renew Kanye West's career with a new musicality and lyricism, believing that even the “infidels” will be jaw-dropping with the music production of the work. Is this another work of art by the artist? Jesus is King is a significant milestone in West's career and anticipates what we can expect in the future.
Awards & Rankings
-
Dec 30, 2019His 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.
-
The WireNov 20, 2019He’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]
-
Nov 12, 2019As 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.
