It's a great album. It's just too bloated. And kinda messy like TLOP. I like the message and vibe of Donda more than TLOP, which was a bit more concise tho. After this much time, i would say, solo albums ranking:

MBDTF
CD
LR
Yeezus / 808s
Grad

Donda
TLOP

ye / JiK

The first 6 being classics. The 2nd category being great albums. And the last category being average projects

Not true but incredible song

Its definitely bloated, and not very cohesive, but it doesnt bother me to much

To me, this is the kanye album where I can just grab nearly any track and enjoy it. Its not as impressive of a complete listen like his other albums, but i think the replay value and the versatility of it are top tier

you tell no lies, sir 😎

respectable ranking

Probably the best take i’ve seen on this site in a long time regarding Ye’s music.

Good ranking. I personally have Donda better than Grad and LR over CD but I think this is the objective ranking

Ahhh @Y0rn , a man of taste.

Great ranking my man, I totally agree.

Damn this a hard explanation

Definitely a top 5 Ye album and certainly his greatest artistic achievement since TLOP. He was truly possessed to do something great.

Such a good album
To have around 2 hours of material, a lot of it still sounding unfinished or recorded with an iPhone, and all the songs sounding so good, is a testament to Kanye's craft
What's crazy is music clearly is not his main focus anymore and he's a billionaire but somehow he still manages to be incredibly creative and innovative when it comes to it

Love this album too much

Bottom 3 Ye album

There are some really great ideas on it, but I think it's WAY too bloated and I personally don't enjoy a lot of songs on it. If he cut it down to like 12-13 tracks I think there could have been a case for it being elite tier

It’s better then ye, JIK and D2….. but that’s not saying much lmao

How do people think this is better than TLOP

It’s a 30 song mess

If Kanye cut it down to 15 and fleshed out those 15 songs out more, Donda would be a f***in amazing album

But as it stands now, it’s just another pointlessly 30 track album to try and get streams

what 15 songs gotta go

i keep seein this "chop down to 15 trax and it's good" but no one ever sez what half of the album gotta go why do i keep seein the number 15 what are the obvious 8 (or 12 if u mean pt. 2's) bad trax

These are def the best songs on the album. But even some of these songs aren’t really GREAT songs. Some are just average

aite thank u i thought ppl was just sayin 15 as a band-"this sounds like a good number of songs"-wagon

So many songs on donda are ruined by mid as rappers

Kanye use to make rappers bring their A game if you wanted to be on the next kanye album

But now he lets anyone on the album and let them have trash ass verses

The quality control ain’t there

The perfectionist kanye ain’t there

Kanye use to reinvent himself with every album and every album was an instant masterpiece

TLOP was Kanye’s last masterpiece and last good album

Nozuka is white and annoying, yall need to ignore him

It differs at times for me too. Sometimes its LR over CD for me too. But atm TCD slightly better

In the beginning i thought Donda better than Grad too, but Grad very concise and almost no misses
