I'm not a reviewer and never will be these are just my thoughts on the album after 6 days of constant listening

Almost a week ago we got Views. I was so excited for this f---ing album BUT going into Views i was kinda scared for what direction he was going to go in. I said pop style was trash for so long and I thought Faithful was average but I really dug One Dance & Controlla so these were the songs I already had formed a solid opinion over. I was not expecting another form of Take Care when going into this album, Looking at the tracklist I was expecting IYRT but a more refined version that would flow well together throughout the project.

So... What we actually got was Drake being Drake. Like this is literally the Drake that we have known for so long, He didn't really switch up. He incorporated new sounds into the album and the production is f---ing amazing. Every song sounds distinct from one another and Drake compliments most of the beats.

I thought this album was f---ing amazing day 1 - 3 because I basically got a sequel to Take Care in some ways especially with the "winter" songs. I love simp Drake and I loved the intro to the album, 9 was f---ing great for me, U With Me, Feel No Ways, Hype, Weston Road Flows, Redemption, With You, Controlla Extended, One Dance, Childs Play, Too Good, Fire & Desire & Views were f---ing sensational. Like I thought that this album was a solid 10/10 because he gave me everything I wanted in one project. I had songs for the summer & winter. I had songs to vibe to and had simp songs to marvins room over.

I avoided other people's opinions because 1. I dont really care and 2. Was too busy loving this project.

I read @Soldier's review on it and I actually understood where he was coming. Drake hasn't progressed at all from the last time we got an actual album from him. If anything he has gone back to the same formula that made me personally love him and Idk if thats a bad thing for me but the consensus is that is was. I've basically had these 20 songs in rotation since the album dropped and some have grown on me so much.

Weston Road Flows
U With Me?
Redemption
Fire & Desire

are imo some of Drakes best songs and they really are good. On Sunday I was vibing to Fire & Desire for 2 hours straight. It was a sad time fr fr.

THe other songs I f----- with up there are still in rotation but for Keep The Family close. I feel like I need to be in a certain mood to listen to it and atm in not in that mood cos summer weather is lit right now. I dont actually care about some of peoples criticism with the lyrics that Drake uses because to me Drake has never been that guy. He has always have cheesy a--- lines and some of the lines ya'll hatin ain't even that bad.

f--- i cant be bothered to write anymore

BASICALLY...
Views is an album from Drake to his core fans. Some of the songs are amazing, Some are great, Some are average after a couple of listens and Grammys hook is the second worst thing to happen to this (Pop Style is first) Grammys in general sucks lol.

Album is great but only if you f--- with this Drake. He ain't really doing anything new and if you listen to NWTS, SFG & Take Care u know what you're pretty much getting just with some new sounds and better production (NWTS production was goat also)

Album gonna be the summer all over tbh and its sales and relevance points towards that.


Idk what point im getting to

It's not a classic after so many f---ing listens
It's not average
It's good/great if you like this type of Drake
It does drag abit and there are some filler songs

Imo it goes
NWTS
VIEWS (matured Take Care)/Take Care
IYRT
SFG
TML
CS

Tracklist should of been
1. Weston Road Flows
2. 9
3. U With Me?
4. Feel No Ways
5. Hype
6. Redemption
7. One Dance
8. Controlla
9. Childs Play
10. Still Here
11. Too Good
12. Summers Over Interlude
13. Fire & Desire
14. Views

If i had to rate it
From the "I love simp Drake and the dancehall Direction" perspective 8/10
And if i wasn't me it probably 6

On Topic: Nice write-up @Immy ultimately if you feeling the album that's what matters, s--- I'd go to war if someone told me Purple Haze was crap.

Off Topic: Yachty is both the goat & woat artist, Minnesota low-key got me shedding tears one night when I was drunk as h---

yeah im catching up now

i thought @Immy's review was really on point tbh. if ur a heavy drake fan then obviously ur gonna enjoy drake drake-ing. i said as much on twitter just like an hour ago lol

but even like big fans of his are saying there are like 5-8 songs max that standout as special to them and the rest they enjoy because they enjoy drake. at least from what ive seen outside of this forum.

either way its not a horrible album but it is like at least 2nd worst in drakes discog without a doubt.
