I’ve only listened to the whole thing once but so far I feel like the last third of the album might be the strongest.

"Summer Games" is fantastic

the only one i've heard so far is one that got played on the radio on my way 2 work, he was singing aimlessly and the phrase "changing from a boy to man" or something otherwise cringe-inducing was deployed. didn't enjoy

« 8 out of 10 » is also pretty cool.I’m starting to enjoy this album!

wasn't Views the New Jersey?
― piscesx, Saturday, 30 June 2018 12:25 (five years ago) link
I think for some, « Take Care » was his « New Jersey » !« Sandra’s Rose » is also nice.I already like this more than « More Life ».

The MJ song is nice. As someone not from the Canada/US I’ve never quite understood all the Drake love/hate. The rap tracks never make it over here but his r&b dancehall things like “one dance”, “hold on we’re going home” and “passionfruit” were pretty well received and I think they felt refreshing for mainstream radio.

summer games is a great Sum 41 song

Spotify really wants me to listen to this album. How much did he ñay? He is in every single one of today’s recommended playlists. He is even in the cover of a fucking “bachata lovers” playlist. He doesn’t even have any bachata songs (and there’s no Drake songs in there, no idea why his stupid face has hijacked that one too) wtf:

Oh he makes a guest appearance on some Romeo Santos song in there, still it’s pretty ridiculous.

Oh I see now:

Apparently it’s a new thing spotify is trying. “Artist takeovers”

“8 Out of 10”: passive-aggressive diss track.

Too lazy and not interested enough to check if this number is true but it’s hilarious if true:

Dude drake is too rich to be saying he can’t take a joke. Can take those dollars tho and infinite coverage on Spotify. Fraud

Really good this, better than Views which i liked some of just fine but this is more of a deliberate step up; arrangement-wise, the samples..In My Feelings is clearly fantastic.
― piscesx, Monday, 9 July 2018 18:01 (five years ago) link
Definitely better than Views, certainly earns its double album status though I haven't listened to it enough to say whether or not it's his best.
― flappy bird, Monday, 9 July 2018 18:05 (five years ago) link
no fucking way is it his best!
― The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 9 July 2018 18:12 (five years ago) link
i listened to side b again today and it sounded better to me than when it first dropped. still think this record is a big strategic misstep for him... on more life he basically apologized for the acidity of views but then he came back w/ this which is basically a double down
the rap parts of this album just seem to be made strictly to titillate gossip, which i find kinda tiresome... it's like a westworld or latter day game of thrones episode that seems to exist only to generate plot and resultant recap blog posts. there's still moments of clarity here and there where i feel like you can connect w/ him/the record but it's pretty alienating in a lot of places to me, moreso than any of his other records i think
― J0rdan S., Monday, 9 July 2018 18:17 (five years ago) link
xp phaps a challop but i could never get into him before 2015 (partly IYRTITL but mostly Hotline Bling).
― flappy bird, Monday, 9 July 2018 18:17 (five years ago) link
the idea that this album is anything close to his best is... um

my drake top 4: if you’re reading, more life, take care, nothing was the same. not sure the order as i have t listened to the last 2 in years
― flopson, Monday, 9 July 2018 18:53 (five years ago) link
Wish reviews of this had less to do with the Drake persona, and more about his shitty, droning flow + bland beats that drag/don’t pop, like they always have, only with a few extra soul samples thrown in. Hoping I go from being a hater to ahead of the curve on this in the future

― ufo, Friday, 3 August 2018 06:05 (five years ago) link
big into dont matter to me
this album is good but a bit of a snore, took 4 weeks to even get through it
the 2nd half picks up the momentum a bit though which is smart on his part
fucking hate that interlude though where a voice says you mad!
― eris (Ross), Friday, 3 August 2018 15:33 (five years ago) link
Eheh yeah I love this album and « 8 out of 10 » is one of my favourite tracks on it but that « you mad » part makes me want to kill!
― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 3 August 2018 15:54 (five years ago) link
nice to hear someone feels the same!
