    For me it wasn't really disappointing, just not the product that I was expecting and demanding to get.

    The album is good, the songs are good... But it's not Take Care, it's not So Far Gone, it doesn't have the highlights of NTWS, it doesn't have the highlights of IYRTITL and, aside from Hotline Bling, it doesn't have a true iconic record that could go down in history as another essential piece of Drake's borderline legendary musical status like Find Your Love, Over, 5 A.M In Toronto, 9 A.M in Dallas, Days In The East, Trust Issues, Dreams Money Can Buy, Club Paradise, etc.

    It's just a pretty good album. And that's ok.

    Lol.

    Views was over 2 years in the making and it's easy to see that by how different/out of place some of the records sound. There's a handful of cuts that leave a little bit to be desired and it doesn't flow as well as NWTS, but it's a good album.

    It's pretty easily listenable :mj: Plus, it has its standouts. Just a little long.

    idk, obviously it didn't live up to expectations, but it's not a horrible album.

    Thank you for explaining

    Too many Drake fans will try to defend it with 0 backing

    Don't get people saying it's overhated... Most of the songs aren't bad but you could count the number of good tracks on @Bot ★ 's hand, and it doesn't help that the "winter" half of the album sounded like a xanax overdose.

    i feel like alot of the people ITT only listened to it once then never again, which i did too.. at first.

    I relistened to it the other day it it's definitley way better than I remembered, the production on it is incredible and drake really isnt as bland as everybody said he was.


    That being said, its easily his worst project.



    also this ^^^

    Yeah the xanax overdose approach can really only work from this one specific artist we listen to.

    I like the radio hits on Views and that's it pretty much.

    Its just a snoozer. It's like if Take Care had a monotone cousin, this would be the result.

    The most over/under rated album of the year...it was good, not great, not terrible. I was expecting something great after hearing IYRTITL thinking those were kind of throwaway tracks so I was initially disappointed...but it was good
    :idk:
