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.

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

xp phaps a challop but i could never get into him before 2015 (partly IYRTITL but mostly Hotline Bling).

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

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

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!

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!
