    I'm almost in disbelief at how bad this album is. His attempt on making House music might actually be the worst in history... and it also seems like some of the songs just weren't mastered properly. Overdrive is the only decent song on this, and Jimmy Crooks is ok i guess.

    It seems that Drake is trying to go easy these days. Honestly, Nevermind is likely to remain as another disappointing album after CLB. The beat that combines R&B and house deserves to be appreciated, but with its loose and unfinished sound overall seems to make this even more underestimated. I loved the track Jimmy Crooks (feat. 21 Savage) and A Keeper.

    Despite the fact that the songs on the album can be bland lyrically, I highlight the fact that he ventures into house and other rhythms, to which we are accustomed with Drake... but the taste of a superficial album remains, which could have been better lyrically

    Drake’s newest album combines rich, modern instrumentals with some of the greatest vocal performances of his career.

    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.

    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.

    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

    A surprise album from Drake I’m sure was a delight for many, but dread immediately set in for me knowing darn well that if this album was anything like “Certified Lover Boy” we were doomed to a summer of Drake Stan’s claiming that this album was “as good as Mr. Morale” or some nonsense like that.

You’ll certainly be hearing this album all summer, but rest assured, my fears were quickly realized. While I won’t say this album is as bad as “CLB” it’s not good in any right. The house sound is cool on some tracks (Sticky, Massive), but overall the sound seems as confused as Drake has seemed to be these past few years. Almost every song on the album is at least a minute or more too long as Drake “oohhs and ahhhs” or repeats the same line for the majority of tracks. I admire Drake for trying something new with this house direction and if nothing else he’s produced some easy to listen to music about his general subject matter, but got someone who is allegedly one of the greats, that’s simply not enough. “Jimmy Cooks” to the surprise of no one is far and away the best track on this project and it’s truthfully not even close. 21 and Drake have great chemistry on the track and I would’ve rather us got 14 tracks like this then the confused house mess we ended up with. Unless something drastically changes it seems nothing will ever change in Drake’s subject matter and therefore his ceiling can only be so high for me. The repetition of this album was unbelievable and I didn’t think Drake could achieve a higher level of repeatability, I was wrong. Don’t get it twisted, however, these tracks will still be played all summer simply because it’s Drake. Overall, I give this project a very generous 50/100. Between the effort to try something new and the standout track “Jimmy Cooks” I felt the album was still a much better try at producing music than “CLB”.

    Best Track: “Jimmy Cooks”
    Worst Track: “Texts Go Green” “Liability”

    Man this was horrible. Drake clearly doesnt try anymore, this album is lazy and a rip off of the entire house genre. 2015 was the last time he dropped a good project and then he discovered that he needs no effort to gain commercial success, so he acts like he still trying to experiment styles but really he just puts what ever he knows his corny fanbase will enjoy and it sucks every time

    When I see some publications give this 7/10 and above, I know they couldn't have listened to the album. I don't care what genre this album is pretending to be, this somehow finds a way to be even lazier and less thought out than CLB. The production is terrible and nothing on this is inspiring.

    Honestly, nevermind listening to most of these songs ever again. Only few saviors of this album are Currents and Jimmy Cooks (because 21 carried). 21 sounded great on that track and made it enjoyable towards the ladder half. Most of the tracks don’t have much to offer. Repeated words with horribly mixed auto tune, flows with no direction, really high pitches that just don’t fit DrakesHonestly, nevermind listening to most of these songs ever again.

    I MEAN, IT'S WAY BETTER THAN CLB AND SCORPION.
    There are a few down points like the opening track and the last songs on the record, but overall it's a pretty solid new sound for Drake and I'm here for it. IT'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN CLB

    I'll have to hear the album again before I have a clear feeling of if i like this or not. Most songs I heard featured Drake's singing, so that might have pushed this to a 6 instead of a standard 7. However, i like how most songs aren't explicit in any shape or form, which is certainly a departure for this Canadian rapper. I love the beats; this is my kind of music i like from male singers.

Lacking any kind of flavour or taste in the execution of the already generic ideas, The production only makes the fascinatingly lazy songwriting and performances stand out even more. When I saw that this was a new ground for him, I was happy thinking that he atleast gets that he needs a sonic switchup to make something substantial. Little did I know that he will use this as an excuse to be more lazy in his works.… Expand

    this is just the drakiest drake album. You know what to expect. No song here has somewhat of a meaning they are just stuck together just to make this awful album. The only hope here is the song sticky which sounds like a leftover from CLB and its mid like his discography. I still dont like Jimmy cooks that much and it also feels like Knife talk Pt.2 but I dont mind playing this song tho.this is just the drakiest drake album. You know what to expect.

    This was a slog to listen to. Super boring and there are just a few songs that are good on their own. This would have gotten a worse score, but songs like "Jimmy Cooks" and "Sticky" lift the score up.

    FAVORITES: Jimmy Cooks, Massive, Sticky

    This album is awful. The most generic, bland music Drake has ever made. The only reason this got a 2 instead of a 0 is because I like "Massive" and "Jimmy Cooks". Every other song is so bland.
    Best song on the album "Massive".

    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.
