This will be a brief review because the artist didn't give me much to work with.

Listened to this 2 more times and my opinion still hasnt changed. Still average at best. I didnt get the whole season changing aspect either. To the music.... its just same ole Drake. Mixture of singing and rappin. I can admit that on 3rd listen the album is better but still underwhelming. Content wise, its Drake so its the same "woe is me, the women in my life are confusing, I'm the man tho." The standout tracks dont really stand out that much. Lyrically he might have peaked during the Take Care era cause his bars here aren't great enough to make up for the subpar music. The production on here is really good. Thats the one thing I took away from this.

Best songs:

9

Weston Road Flow

U With Me

Faithful

Everything else is average to wack... I say this under the assumption you've heard So Far Gone and onward. At this point you'd expect artistic growth and theres none here. Sticking to the same formula is just safe, especially for someone who claims to be the #1 guy. If you havent heard Drake before, you might think this is good. Basically, if you've heard one Drake album you've heard them all. And I like Drake.

6/10

Theres a crazy circle jerk going on in that Views thread yet none of the niggas gassin this shit up wanna post up why they think its the greatest thing in the world

Finally got the time to sit down with this album and dissect it. I rank this 4th in his catalog, it's not better than Take Care (Classic imo, not one bad song on the whole album) NWTS or WATTBA , but it's better than the others.

He normally starts his albums with fire (over my dead body, tuscan leather, digital dash, etc) but this shit was trash, easily the worst intro of his career, luckily he followed it with a dope track ("9"). He's always had alot of singing on his albums and that shit never bothered me like it does most of the niggas on here, cuz for the most part they've been fire , but most of the ones on here were missing something. "Feel no ways" sounds like a weak attempt at remaking "find your love" , shits trash. "redemption" was aight , but again, something is missing. Overall , it's a decent album tho, my favorite tracks are:

Child's Play

One Dance

Grammys

9

Weston Roads

Views

Score: 75

[Stew]

Still havnt heard it. I wish ppl would participate in this shit instead of giving their half ass reviews in the album thread.

 

[5th Letter]

I finally got a chance to listen to this album. I've never been a guy that went out of my way to listen to his albums. I'm just giving this a listen so I could participate in this review thread. After giving it a listen I thought it was a pretty solid/borderline good album, I heard a lot of negative views about this album, but it sounds like what a typical Drake album might sound like. It seemed to have a very introspective theme throughout mixed in with an island/reggae vibe and with Toronto's large island demographic it's definitely plays up that aspect as well. Great production and average lyrics on the rap songs mixed in with singing. I give this album a 75/100.

The standout track was Weston Road Flows, I loved the sample.

Some other dope songs.

But but but when niggas like Kid Cudi and Ye switch it up and show growth its garbage and nobody wants to hear that, they wanna hear the old Ye and Cudi LMFAO. These artist cant win.
