So I’ve been seeing a lot of complaints with the album and it not being cohesive, but after giving it a dozen+ full listens, I disagree with the argument that it’s not cohesive. I actually think there’s a full on concept being presented here.
My argument is broken up into 2 parts. I’ll start with the most simple evidence for cohesion (1), then an actual in depth a***ysis (2)
1. MUSICAL ELEMENTS
A lot of the tracks have organs.
Most of the tracks have the same drums
This all adds to the feeling that this album takes place in the same area or headspace. So while the emotion and topics may vary, the musical elements remain fairly consistent (aside from a few songs)
2. THE OVERALL THEME
TL;DR: Donda is a concept album about Kanye in an underground church trying to channel / summon the spirit of his mother. He requires the help of his “Donda Army” for protection and guidance along the way (hence all the features). Donda, effectively, is not only his mother, but his army (remember LP3 with everyone wearing the Donda vests?) Read below for the full explanation.
This is my main argument. And it will be kind of long.
Donda is a concept album. This album, in my opinion, is about him in some makeshift underground questionable church (kind of like the church in Saints Row 1 if you ever played that) trying to channel / summon the spirit of his mother, Donda.
The intro track with Donda being repeated over and over is not by accident. There is a lot of talk about repetition in religion about how it can have healing powers, or manifest things you want to happen.
The first few tracks that are harder and darker are like him summoning the Donda army: Donda is not only his mother, but his squad of protection (hence all the features). Also, remember that “army” of people masked up wearing Donda vests at LP3? Coincidence?
The songs up until the Donda skit represent either dark or sinful themes (for the most part), up until right before the skit where he comes to acceptance and repentance (24, Remote Control, Heaven and Hell).
Then, during the Donda skit, she finally is “summoned” (As evident in the lyrics: “it feels good to be home” / “i thank you for your support”). The haunting keys and singing is almost like the soundtrack to someone risen from the netherworld walking up slowly to the alter to speak for the first time in years.
And after that skit is when the album takes a smoother turn - mission accomplished.
From this point on, themes of acceptance and repentance are fully realized. The songs take a softer, more smooth turn. In the context of all of this, even “Tell the Vision” makes sense where it is. It’s almost like a chaotic ascendence into Heaven (“we made it”/“i thank god that we made it”). Ironically it appears right after New Again, perhaps the most repentant song on the album. Makes total sense.
CONCLUSION
I’ll probably expand on this as I listen more, but for now, I’m happy with where I’m at and I honestly think I’m onto something. If you’ve read this far, or just want to discuss, I’d be happy to hear your thoughts!

If the tracklist is true, there are so many artists that are also on Donda. Kanye probably knew the tracklist already for most of the part lol

Awooga
