What is everyone’s overall thoughts on the album?

I think it’s a great album. I think after Jesus Lord it definitely tails off into the long category but Come To Life is an amazing song and should’ve really been the outro.

Jail part 2 has the better guest verse but Jail part 1 has a better sound.

Production feels on point.

Definitely an improvement following Ye and JIK but in terms of his overall catalogue is probably just above them two and below everything else.

album of life

Top 3

If I was going to do a preliminary ranking it sits above JIK, Ye and TLOP.

Deserves even more credit than people give it, A tier album

Good album, would be a great/classic album if he chose the top 12-15 tracks.

Great album, it might sneak into my top 5 ye albums eventually. at this moment (keeping in mind my top 3 especially shift with my mood) I'd rank them as such:

808s
MBDTF
Yeezus
TLOP
TCD
Donda
ye
LR
Grad
JIK

ALBUM OF LIFE

classic

THIS MAN PUT YE ABOVE LATE REGISTRATION

10/10

This is disastrous

You not mentioning grad here may be an even bigger problem

There are songs on there for every mood I'm feeling

Good as hell, ye did it again

Very good

halfway between ye and TLOP so far

needs more time tho

graduation i get if they’re not into the pop era but late registration is a straight up masterpiece

Good album for sure but personally only put it over Ye, JIK, KSG & possibly TLOP

I think its fantastic and its been on repeat since day one. Theres a few filler tracks, but the replay value of 75% of the album is insane

We got classics like off the grid, come to life, moon, jesus lord, nclb, bwis, and more

8.5/10, somewhere in the middle of kanyes catalogue

His best since Yeezus imo. The highs surpass TLOP and the lows are about equal.

I don't think it comes close to the first 6 albums, nor do I think Kanye will ever come close to those again. And that's perfectly fine. Donda is the best-case scenario for a Kanye album at this stage in his career.

I'd put songs like Come To Life, Jail, 24, Hurricane, and Jesus Lord up there with some of his best work. Moon, Off The Grid, Believe What I Say, Lord I Need You, and Praise God are all honorable mentions. That's a stellar list of tracks in itself and there are still plenty more like God Breathed and No Child Left Behind that shine in the context of the record.

It's a great album. Flawless? No. A classic like his original run? Probably not. But nonetheless, I love it. Had it dropped in any year other than the one Nurture by Porter Robinson dropped it'd be my AOTY, and even so it's pretty close.

This is a pretty much perfect take imo

Thanks fam likewise! To your point, 8.5 is exactly where I put it out of 10

Donda AOTY

Still a great listen. His best since Yeezus
