probably on par with all of jackboys 2 idk i did not listen
not every song hits but the ones that do are really good. despite his allegations, he seemed like just another troubled young man who couldn't find ways of dealing with the troubles of life, fly high
![Kanye West - DONDA 2 [Reissue]](https://cdn2.albumoftheyear.org/100x0/album/1256144-donda-2_024309.jpg)
edit: this review was made before he added bullshit AI to half the songs and removed like half the good songs from spotify. This era had a lot of potential, but it was never going to live up to it.
I was so hyped for this album for years, I've listened to the leaks for it + stem player files for ages now. I'm happy this is out and exists, tho I wish it was more finished than this. I think Ye's creative process of putting shit out unfinished and then saying he'll update it ... read more
alright, listen
the dave blunts ai part sucks so bad
but the first half is one of the most compelling and most vulnerable things I have ever seen in a hip hop song, the line about the truth setting you free really felt powerful
i also got into a lot of discussions about this song the day it dropped on twitter, with a ton of people not understanding it at all so i've became a known defender if this lmao
Is this album bad? Yes
Is it AS bad as ppl say? Not really
I'm not gonna defend this album, but it has a couple of good/okay enough songs. But it also has some absolute dogshit. It's best song is the final track, and there's a lot to pick from for worst song.
Papermoon is not only a masterpiece of a song, but the backing track to one of the best anime openings ever made. I won't bore you with a detailed explanation of what makes an anime opening great, but Soul Eater's second opening is genuinely one of the best I've ever seen to this day. Oh also ruby shoes is here too ig, pretty good banger, but nowhere near as iconic as the main song from this single
idk how i didn't like this song for years. This song is a masterpiece. Please come back gerard
this is not a released album at all, he posted a video and said it was an unfinished version saying he wanted to see what ppl fucked with so he could put real vocals over it
do not bother listening to this ai slop album
would i be crazy for saying this is the best x album
edit: Yeah this is his second best project i've heard so far. It has some of his best songs ever, being Guardian Angel and Train Food. I'm also a big fan of One Minute, mostly for the great beat and Kanye verse. Staring at the Sky could have been better if it was more fleshed out, but it's fine for what it is, which is a sentiment i share with I don't let go as well. Difference is easily the best interlude on any X ... read more
Prelude - Cool intro
fearless - i hate the start and stop shit at the start and the end, but the verse is good (5/10)
banned off instagram - fire instrumental. BASED AS FUCK SAMPLE HOLY SHIT, wish the vocals had high energy like the sample (6/10)
beside me - pretty chill song with way too many vocal effects (5.5/10)
locked in - really cool, good beatswitch, sounds like young quadeca (7.8/10)
xavier renegade angel - TRACKERISM SONG!!! wish it didn't do the slowdown part but it's still ... read more

"LOL surprised i never saw this, appreciate the review, insane that anyone outside of me or the friend i made this for ended up hearing this
Some context: i made this as a complete joke for my friend's birthday present, based on some inside joke between us, and it's supposed to tell a story about an abusive dad who kills himself years after being divorced, because i thought the idea of an album as stupid and nonsense as this having a plot was a hilarious idea"

On Skeletal's review of twenty one pilots - Scaled and Icy
"i have never been more offended by a review, this hurts...
Good Day and Redecorate are the best TOP songs imo, and seeing them as the worst is one of the strangest choices I have ever seen!
also every song on this album is mad good, i don't think any song should have below like a 70 but maybe that's just me
this album destroys anything they had done before this (though I haven't fully listened to Trench yet) in every way, the lyrics, the singing, the rapping, the production, all of it is much better then their older stuff"
On kirboangry's review of David Bowie - Toy
"I mean no one is treating this as "a new david bowie album" because it isn't, it's an album Bowie made in the early 2000s that was never released because his label didn't want him to. So I think putting out his work that he had actually wanted to put out but couldn't is the most honorable kind of posthumous release you could do. It's not thrown together demos, it's just what the man had completed decades ago and couldn't put out for a dumb reason."
