    After one final delay, Kanye West's eight studio album, Jesus Is King, is here, alongside the IMAX film of the same name.

    As promised, it's a gospel-rap record, veering away from slightly more risqué lyrics that have made up Kanye's music in the past, and instead seen him joined by the choir from his recent Sunday Services.

    The record is a short one, with 11 songs and clocking in at just over 27 minutes, Kanye achieves his goal of praising God. It's clearly influenced by his recent obsession with spirituality, and where consumption might have been the theme tying a lot of Kanye's music together in the past, this has been eschewed in favour of in-your-face religion, which is sure to divide fans.

    Was it worth the wait? That's up for you to decide. We're just glad it's finally here - if there'd been a further delay, the Internet might actually have imploded.

    It's been one hell of an album rollout - but barring a disaster, it's here for good.
