The first half of this is decent. The second half has some of the most boring songs Kanye has been involved in. I haven't liked a lot of what he has made of late, but I haven't often been just straight up bored. For such a legendary producer, some of the production on songs go nowhere. 'Use This Gospel' gets a little hype, but with 20 seconds to go... While I'm on that song, in a recent interview Kanye criticised rappers who rap about things that send you to prison. Clipse? The best moments are the higher tempo songs where Kanye spits with more vigor. See 'Follow God' and 'On God'. Some of the worst are where he is trying to sing. Disappointing. I was looking forward to this as I generally like the musical themes gospel can bring when combined with hip hop. 'Lord Give Me a Sign' and 'Jesus Walks' are two of my favourite songs, but it hasn't done it for me here. It just doesn't feel like the amount of care goes into crafting albums that used to.
Best Tracks: Selah, Follow God, On God
