    Drake's 'Honestly, Nevermind' album comes only about six months after his release of 'Certified Lover Boy'... and the fact that it comes out only six months after that very much shows on this album.

Throughout the album, Drake's vocals sound like they were recorded and slapped on the song raw through Apple's "Voice Memos" app, and "Falling Back" sounding like it was mixed through a pair of dollar tree earbuds. Speaking of production, whoever decided it was a good idea to put a looping sound of bed springs on the track "Currents" should be fired immediately.

    Lyrically and vocally, it's fairly similar to 'Certified Lover Boy'. It's boring, sleepy, and bland, but something a little bit newer: repetitive. Who knows why Drake thought it would be a good idea on some of the tracks to repeat the same hook over and over again... maybe he's forgot how to write a song? Let's get this clear: it's usually verse — chorus — verse — chorus —bridge — chorus — outro. Perhaps this is Drake's attempt to be quirky and different? But, to me, the only thing it accomplished is making the album an all around drag to listen to.

    The best song on this album is in fact the 'Intro' track, it's mesmerizing, luscious, and ambient. However, after that track, it's just all downhill, with one last attempt of revival at the end with a somewhat listenable song with 21 Savage. I feel like Drake has lost his touch and passion for music and is just releasing music to get streams. He should take as much time as possible to really work on an album with an increased attention to detail instead of taking six months to make a horrific attempt at making a house music inspired album that belongs in the speakers of an ice skating rink, only to be subconsciously listened to.

    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.

    My biggest problem with Drake over the course of his career has been his unwillingness to evolve or experiment. The last time he really stepped out of his comfort zone (before this record) was on IYRITL, which is far and away my favorite drake project, and ever since that record I've been waiting for him to step into similarly uncharted territory on a studio album.

The last time he really stepped out of his comfort zone (before this record) was on IYRITL, which is far and away my favorite drake project, and ever since that record I've been waiting for him to step into similarly uncharted territory on a studio album. So when this album dropped by surprise and I heard from people that it was wildly different that what he was doing on CLB I was actually pretty excited. I could have not been more wrong. This album is awful, absolutely terrible. There are numerous Drake projects I dislike, in fact his last three or four studio albums I've found to be pretty lackluster overall, but this is the first album of his that I would consider to be an absolute disaster. I have no problem with Drake playing with different sounds, be it house music or anything else, but to do it so lazily and soullessly just boggles my mind. I can't recommend this to anyone, unless you think you'd enjoy the musical equivalent of waiting in line at the dmv Expand

    Drake is the AJR of RnB and Hip Hop music.
    A culture vulture who is able to phone it in on every idea he attempts and still gets praised for it.

    The only good thing about this album is the final track Jimmy Cooks and that’s because its in a completely different style to the rest of the album!

    One of the worst album of the century.
    He fell off since 2015, better retire or spent more years to make albums.

    This album is sooo cringe. If this were created by anyone else, it would be ripped apart. Proof that Drake can take a crap in a trash bag and it will sell like a hotcake during a food shortage. Hilariously praised that it's goat material by the sheeple. Ladies and gentlemen, he is trolling us. This joke is on us.

    You would think after how atrocious Certified Lover Boy was, Drake could only go higher. Unfortunately, it's not the case here with his 7th studio album, Honestly, Nevermind, a title rightfully chosen.

    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.

    Us to Drake: Honestly, Nevermind!

    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 thought the time he stole Look At Me from x would be his worst moment, or the Pusha T beef, this might top it. By far his most boring project. Expand

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.

    Love-burnt and ambitious, Drake has produced something better than its predecessors, but without the fallback of crowd-pleasers, it is hard to see it standing the test of time.
  2. 67
    Instead of taking a much-needed left turn and cranking it up to 11, he's settled for something safe — something too smooth, too worldly.

    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.
