    The first few songs made me think he tried to make a winter feel album then the second half was kinda like a summer album. I was lost af.
    I figured I have a problem with people putting too many songs on the album. 12-13 songs are just enough.
    I will give it a few more listens, but i doubt ill bump the album aside from few songs.

    Was waiting to hear the album and write that it was so classic that it made me a Raps fan, but nah fam. Those tracks that leaked end up being the best ones on the album. Keep the Family Close, U With Me and Weston Road Flows with those are the best tracks on the album. Other ones are boring af and all over the place, concept of this reminds me of Born Sinner, dark to light with poor execution. Drake usually grows on me always, so we'll see after a few more spins, but this is how I'm feeling now.

    I feel you. He did say that the album has a winter to summer back to winter progression so listen to it with that in mind, but I feel you. First half way better than second half.

    Yea. Guess I hoped for more tracks like Controlla and One Dance, something fresh and out of the box. I feel like I already heard every other track on the album before, just that these have a bit different chord progressions and he talks about different people in the same way :idk:

    Word? I didnt know that, but felt that way when first listened to it. The second listen was better than the first, but the album too d--- long for me. Maybe if he didnt put some songs from the second half it could be a lot better. First part was great. Has that Drake nostalgia winter feel to it.

    I need to listen to Views 3-5 more times.

    Idk how the masses are you going to take in this album, because other than One Dance, Controlla and the song with Rihanna, I don't really hear that many hits.

    I like Views. Introspective moments, clever and confident bars throughout. But there is no doubt that Cole can and will outdo Views.
