    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".

    Love it. Probably my favorite Drake album to date. It's not the "Drake you know and love" but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I think it's a refreshing change to that 808 heavy, R&B straddling sound that pervades every radio now days. It's up tempo and upbeat, yet emotionally heavy. The only track I didn't dig was the finale with 21 Savage. It sounds as expected.

    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.

    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 is not a House artist, he is mainly a Hip-hop artist, and that is his bread and butter.

Down Hill was another track that i really loved on here and serious if Drake had dropped a 3 Track EP with "Down Hill", "Jimmy Cooks" and "Sticky" it was most likely would have sold a lot better than this Album i guaranteed that. So Anyway Overall this Album was a Massive L in Drake's Discography and also the 3rd Straight Album in a row that Drake has dropped and it has been absolutel **** so yeah Overall Strong 3 out of 10.

That being said, some of the songs actually provide a pretty nice moody vibe and are just fun to listen to when you're spending time with your thoughts at night. Drake, however, vocally and lyrically offers little to nothing to these songs so that their appeal mostly come down to the beats or the instrumentals. Overall just another project that Drake seemingly didn't put in much effort for. His cruise on autopilot continues, even if he slightly altered his course by turning to more of a house music kind of style.… Expand

    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.

    Not as bad as people make it out to be. People who claim this is bad house never listened to house. A criticism that is often thrown around is that it's repetitive; you could as well just write "I don't understand house" on your forehead. It's not just house of course, as it's mixed a lot with dancehall, something Drake has been attempting a lot lately, but never this succesfully. Drake isNot as bad as people make it out to be.

It's not just house of course, as it's mixed a lot with dancehall, something Drake has been attempting a lot lately, but never this succesfully. Drake is one of the few artists whose upbeat rap tracks are as enjoyable as his R&B ballads, and I was honestly waiting for a ballad-only album from him, and this comes close. He jazzily twirls around the mellow dance tracks talking about his unconventional practices in relationships: tongue-in-cheekly alluding to polygamy on the video clip of the opening track; breaking hearts with even more cruelty than his rap colleagues, because he does seem to care about these women. The second half of the album (after Massive) shows a sharp decline in quality, but it picks itself up from time to time - mostly on Liability, which sounds like a slowed reverb Drake track, almost psychedelic, and showing he still got it with the on-the-verge-of-cringe lines: "You put your words together like you getting points for that **** like you playing scrabble on me", immediately followed by the shattering: "Your mama's the sweetest lady, the apple fell far from the tree". All in all, the people who claim this is trash are farther from the truth than the people who praise this to the heavens, but once again the internet is divided about something that is "just okay" (which cannot exist on the internet of course).… Expand

    The album is a refreshing change of paces from Drake as his prior project begun to feel safe without any true risk with experimentation.

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.

Hilariously praised that it's goat material by the sheeple. Ladies and gentlemen, he is trolling us. This joke is on us.

    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.

    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 ofDrake'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.    … Expand

    As much as I give Drake a hard time, I will admit that he is normally great at what he does....This album was not it though. It didn't seem well thought out and rushed. The best way to describe this album is wet bread...Drake doesn't have to vocal strength/skill to sing on a whole album. He needs real singers to back him up.

    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.

Except for the last one they all sound like "Get it together" from "More Life". The Album is really boring and i'm not quite sure if CLB or this one was worse. The title sums up the album quite well.

    Drake finally took some big risks and focused on one cohesive sound. On the last few projects, he was stuck in a routine of trying to please every type of fan he has, and he ended up with bloated, formulaic albums that tried to do too much at once.

    This new album by Drake is refreshing, the use of R&B and pop in this album show off how he has used these elements to his advantage. The production value on this album in some tracks feels stronger than some on CLB. However, this album can be improved upon, as some parts in this album are weaker and need more. Therefore, I will be giving this album a 7/10.

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”.

    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.
