I been listening to the album straight thru this morning. The B side (starting at Donda) minus Tell The Vision is all hitters tbh. Maybe not Pure Souls, s*** goes on way too 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.
