    Views is fine. Everything about it is fine. It is the most inoffensive garbage I have ever listened to with a few exceptions like Hype.

    I am a huge Drake fan but ever since this album has come out I find it is very hard to listen from front to back. It doesn't make sense to sit down for almost an hour and a half to listen to a decent album at best. Drake was so much better in 2011-2015 I feel as of recently (Sept 2019) he has been killing his features. Don't get me wrong if you took out 5-6 songs this album would be soI am a huge Drake fan but ever since this album has come out I find it is very hard to listen from front to back.

I just don't understand why he puts mediocre songs on an album. Also for me, this album seems to make me feel the same way on every song. A boring monotone. In conclusion, this is not Drake's best work nor his worst and they are still some very good songs on here.… Expand

    With this album, I became a fan of Drake and of course his rhythms. My favorite songs without a doubt "One Dance" & "Too Good". I mainly liked the change of rhythms and the variety. Maybe it's too late to give a review, but this is really a great album.

    coming from a huge drake fan, y’all condemned this project for it to age like fine wine. now in 2020, this changed music as we know it and gave us a summer we’ll never ever forget. all thanks to Views kicking it off April 29, 2016.

    4 Years ago Drake released his most hyped up album to date Views. When this released I was hyped about it only to be a little disappointed because it didn’t really give us the Drake that we knew and gave the album a 6/10... Now after 4 years and 2 Projects later (More Life & Scorpion) this album has aged really well in its current state it’s in. Songs like Keep the Fam Close and Westen4 Years ago Drake released his most hyped up album to date Views. When this released I was hyped about it only to be a little disappointed because it didn’t really give us the Drake that we knew and gave the album a 6/10... Now after 4 years and 2 Projects later (More Life & Scorpion) this album has aged really well in its current state it’s in. Songs like Keep the Fam Close and Westen Road Flows are what really is the biggest highlight of this album. Redemption is a song that nowadays is perfect for Drake after his L’s with the Pusha T beef, Hype is one of the best songs in Drake’s Discography. One of the songs I didn’t like when I heard the album for the first time was Fire & Desire but now I think it’s one of Drake’s most underrated songs ever, actually come to think about it most songs here have become underrated or overhated.

    Verdict: Views is an Album that was ahead of its time. It’s a very good album with some amazing b-side records. 8.5/10    … Expand

    Spectacular, well produced, Drake has evolved from his OG emo-rap. This album got amazing replay value.

    Not many stand out tracks. Difficult to compare with the previous records on Drakes discography.

    Pretty interesting rollercoaster of songs that is not too interesting but does the bare minimum to keep you entertained. A lot of the 20 tracks can be cut, as they seem pretty useless in the context of this album. "Keep the Family Close" is a good intro track, but it is too long for its structure, but "Views" is an excellent closer and has really good rapping ("Hotline Bling" is a bonusPretty interesting rollercoaster of songs that is not too interesting but does the bare minimum to keep you entertained.

My favorite this is the change of seasons throughout the album. It is really subtle, but it adds a lot of personality to the album. I'd say it is underrated in Drake's discography, but it isn't anything groundbreaking.

    Drake's genuinely fleet-footed flows and sly humour prevent his pained introspection descending into a cheesy whine fest. [Aug 2016, p.95]

    The middle section boast a tougher, truculent edge reminiscent of last year's mixtape If You're Reading This It's Too Late. But it's during the final sequence that everything clicks. [#361, p.114]

    Eventually, people will get tired of the same old song if it's sung too often. On Views, Drake is starting to sound a little weary of it himself.
