Leading up to it, it's fair to say many thought that this would be Drake's magnum opus. But when the wait was finally over we were met with a collection of uninspired, lazy attempts at a cohesive project. Most of the lyrics are either not well written or seem like they were sloppily put together to complete a verse. The song concepts have all been done before and the overall vibe and execution feels like a watered down sequel of Take Care. The only thing that this album has going for it is the production, and even that is limited to a very narrow margin. Drake obviously had most of the work laid out for him but even the hard work and clear direction from others couldn't save this project

All in all, I was expecting a great - potentially classic album and was dissapointed

Curious to see everybody else's thoughts

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 ^^^

Listened to it once & then straight into the recycle bin.

agreed

Drake didn't have much to say, it def shows. Lyrics are s--- in a lot of spots, whether it be on deep & personal tracks or even intentionally simple tracks; they're glaringly weak & at times embarassing. There are highlights/good spots ofc (Keep Family Close, Views, etc.) but it's a small few. It's outweighed by the weak s---

production on this is pretty meh compared to his prev two projects, the whole ambient cloudy music thing is done to death here & is hella dull at times; ridiculously repetitive & same-y

can't say its good, it's also not horrible, but yea not even avg, s--- is pretty weak. slightly below middle, 4.5/10

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
