    Drake's most different album so far. Nobody imagined that he would release an all-dance album. I loved that he stepped out of his comfort zone and delivered excellent productions.

    A very, very, very, very, very "ok" album, isn't bad, but it isn't good. At least there's a nice vibe, but nothing special at all.

    Bad house, bad Drake, but a lazily crapped out album that Stans will insist is something new and revolutionary.

    This is Drake’s most pop centric album since Views, and comes just 9 months after he released the much awaited CLB. It also lacks many features, with the only one being 21 Savage on Jimmy Cook’s, which I think is the best song.

I think this album will divide Drake fans because of how far he leans one way. Worth a listen but nothing special.… Expand

    Somehow throughout the way, sadly, we lost Drake. Not even a decent effort, Drake continuous to disappoint his most loyal fan base.

    People keep comparing the reaction to 808s but it’s not that. AT ALL. 808s was genre shifting. This is just regular dance/house. It’s pretty bad dance music at that. Some songs just drag on and on. When you start vining to something, Drake comes in and says something stupid. Nothing on here for anyone that isn’t a Drake stan.

    It's how uninspired and ridiculously blend the record is that makes it especially bad: it's trying to serve Dawn FM but doesn't reach an ounce of its artistry, it sadly ends up serving Donda 2's unfinished and unpolished aftertaste and it's finally caring way less soul and effort than bigger (and better) album-sister, More Life. On his new worst song in his career, "Currents", Drake showcase possibly the most horrible production from any hip-hop/dancehall record in recent years, would even go as far as the entirety of music's history. Is it his famous collaborator Noah "40"'s fault? Maybe... or it's Drake new fall from grace. The rest of the album? Absolutely embarrassing.

    An average album, very average, compared to "Scorpion", "Views" and so on. Drake really stopped being an artist. The only track that "services" is "Sticky"

    Drake decided to wake up and give the gays everything they want. The first half of the album is pretty mid and 'Sticky' is probably the worst song I've ever listened to, but from 'Massive' onwards, it is a PERFECT album.

    It's not very good. I get what he was trying to do, but my god did he fail. It's okay to try something new, Ye did it with 808s and again with Yeezus, but Drake is no Ye.

    But honestly, loads of 2 min songs that are just so meh like Calling My Name,Currents,A Keeper. One whole minute of the song is just the same line repeated. Then there's like a house song. His singing is really not great. Its just not very good, quite uninspiring, and allover the place.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had much hope that the Drizzy we all loved and came to appreciate had returned with the intro tracks, Intro followed into Falling Back. With the polarizing production and groove that you wouldn't expect out of drake. At first listen you say after the first couple tracks, "this production is great, I wonder what else he has in store for us?" He didn't have anything else in store. The whole album is another heartbreak or lust filled song that has been so dried out from previous albums/songs of the same topic. It's just Drake's creative way of making the SAME **** I appreciate the experimental aspect of the album. However grooving 808s, drums, and samples just slightly tweaked on every club bass sample isn't creative. With dry and over tuned vocals from Mr. Lover Boy himself make for a boring listen. I actually skipped through most songs in the later portion of the album due to them not being different. At first you wanna dance, then you get bored, and then you get excruciatingly bored. You could tell someone to listen to one song on this album and it would be a preview of 90% of the album.
    Although tracks like Jimmy Cooks and Sticky change the tempo in a positive manner it goes right back to the same boring Drizzy.
    An honest disappointment of an album. Sounding just as rushed as the release, it's going to fall short in Drake's album discography.    … Expand

The intro is inw of the vest moments on a drake record in a long time but "dalling on me" deadpan repetition tests that goodwill. "Text go green " is almost something great as you're lured by the mesmerizing pulsating and skittering club beats but it's just the lyrical and vocal performance that consistently falls short though i will acknowledge this song has actually effort behind it. It's actually trying to be profound and introspective. "Currents" decides notvto continue what the previous track almist achieved and withdraws to predictable Drake-isms that ask for a vulnerability he would never reciprocate from a women hes showing temporary interest in. The production here still isnt awful but wasted on this era of drake. Overall this house influenced Dawn Fm offshoot is a step up from the overwhelming decadence of his previous lp post "Scorpion " where record's would be 20+ songs long with no variety here it's short but with more experiments(technically) . If this grew over time I'd understand.… Expand

    Drake going on deep house territory, but can he still rap ? For a surprise album, that was a huge surprise. Great album for clubbing, but that's pretty much it. I would've expected more from him, in a year where Pusha T and Kendrick dropped.

    Drake breaks no new ground here, and retreads the same tales of love and regret so many times that the songs bleed together. If you just want background music for making love, this is your album. If you want to have your imagination captured by fantastic tales or be taken on an emotional roller coaster, don’t bother. There are no highs or lows here. We’re on medium the whole time.
