    it was supposed to his genre-defining classic, but overall it was just another drake album with inoffensive beats, inoffensive concepts, and inoffensive songwriting. it wasn't bad, just...lifeless.

    6/10 album. It's a bloated mess with some great songs on it, but there are pieces of a better album in there.

    I was f*cking hyped when the album came out. I was really pumped when I listened to the whole album. Within more listens... I realized that the album is way too monotonous. Lyrics aren't that good either... I mean where did the creativity from Nothing and Take Care go? :/. I still use like four songs... But thats about it. There was no risky sound to the album either... It was basically in the same lein as a combined Take Care and Nothing Was The Same efford, just executed worser.

    Really really disappointed and I'm not sure if Drake will evolve the sound he had with Views through his next album. I hope not...

    The word classic needs to f*cking go away. People use it for every single album released these days.

    That's a bit of a stretch. More like TPAB is a disappointment considering how big M.A.A.D city was.

    From the perspective that it was supposed to be his magnum opus, yes.

    Dude hasn't grown artistically since Take Care.

    LMAO @ people comparing Views to Grad.

    Views is closer to Encore than Graduation, lets be real here.
