7.2 / 10

Christianity is the unwavering focus of Kanye’s gospel album, a richly produced but largely flawed record about one man’s love of the Lord (and himself).

An iconoclast sounds peaceful and fulfilled on this jubilant gospel collection, which ebbs with warmth and hope for the future

JESUS IS KING is not the album we've all been waiting for

2.7 / 10

'JESUS IS KING' is a legitimately boring record, never reaching any high higher than simply, “I guess this isn’t bad.”

Kanye West has had an essay crisis. Jesus Is King, a gospel record and his ninth studio album, arrived 17 hours behind schedule — and it feels like the sort of rushed job you tell yourself at 4am, wild-eyed and subsisting on ProPlus and a bag of crisps, will have to do.

On Kanye West's ninth album, he looks to God for inspiration. The resulting album has moments of beauty, but still feels slight.

West’s delayed record feels more like a collection of skits than a studio album, and fans will no doubt be wondering whether all the hype and stress that preceded its unveiling was worth it

For the better part of a decade, a cavalcade of headlines and controversy accompanied each fresh Kanye West release, causing as much of a stir as the rabid anticipation from diehard fans.

6 / 10

Kanye West's anticipated Jesus Is King is a somewhat shallow exploration of spirituality — it's serviceable gospel, but doesn't do anything...

7 / 10

The album is impeccably produced but finds Kanye barely shifting his musical approach.
