“By the Time I Get to Phoenix” tries to capture dissonance, emptiness and human grief through a barrage of an experimental musical entropy. It’s chaotic, disorientating and quite psychedelic. But it can also feel like it sometimes goes overboard in it’s indulgence to confuse while lacking the perfect precision needed to execute a sequence that feels refined and/or profound.

*edit - 5.9/10
Okay so I was initially super disappointed with the album that my emotions towards it's failure to live up to my expectations led me to judge it overly harshly. It's not terrible - there are certainly highlights but it's full of mediocre and straight up bad songs too (look at the rating breakdown!)
Top 5 Songs of Donda (don't @ me):
1. Come To Life (could make a strong case for being a top 20 Kanye song of all time... Pure emotion and exceptional performances.)
