    Really disappointing in my opinion. I have enjoyed Drakes music in the past but this album is just very boring to listen to in my opinion and just sounds so similar to his other work. Needs new direction a new sound a new style; just something to switch it up.

    A wonderful addition to Drake's already well established discography. I'm on my 5th full listen. Fantastic production and just overall the vibes we have all been waiting for. If you have been a Drake fan since his early days, you won't be disappointed, you will enjoy this project very much. Up there with Take Care. Amazing.

    This album is unbelievable, it has everything. From an ''artistic'' point of view, everything is so cohesive. Even though all tracks have their own strong identity. From a technical point of view, I'm an audio engineer and I never heard something so well mixed and mastered of my life... It's all so perfect, everything hits perfectly, all the elements are CLEAR and smooth at the same time.This album is unbelievable, it has everything.

Lot of different colours, nuances and it's full of little secrets that you'll discover trough the time. It really is a masterpiece.… Expand

    This is pretty much Drake's worst album, It's boring, rushed, and just repetitive. The best songs on the album were already released before the album. I gave it a 3 star to be nice.

    Drake and his producers in top form. Loving the album as a whole, captivating and complex productions with Drake doing this thing on em effortlessly and having fun at the same time. Every one of his features delivered too. Views only has a few big guest names like Future and Rihanna but they have great chemistry with him musically ("Grammys" is going to be a summer banger like Jump Man).Drake and his producers in top form.

Views only has a few big guest names like Future and Rihanna but they have great chemistry with him musically ("Grammys" is going to be a summer banger like Jump Man). There aren't many disses towards Meek or anyone he's made enemies with, but if you listen closely you'll find some hard subtle jabs on a few tracks like "Hype". I'm glad he didn't make those distractions the focus of the album though and made it more about his roots, his family and the city he represents. Overall, I think this is Drake's best and most cohesive sounding work to date; he's really found what makes him consistent and refined it to the maximum. Views definitely lives up to the hype and I think it will be seen by many as a classic album in the near future.… Expand

    Overrated and repetetive album. All of drakes albums sound the same i have yet to see him evolve musically. Its always the same bridges and same redundant choruses. I have to say im disappointed

    Amazing. I loved this album, i am on my fourth listen right now and i don't know when ill stop. He has grown a lot as an artist, and while this album is a lot different then his previous ones, it is more cohesive sounding than anything he's ever made before. I love IYRTITL, but this album did a total 180 from it and i believe it'll pay off.

    Not a very good album all things considered. The album sounds like a mixture of all his past albums. You can hear Take Care, Nothing Was the Same and IYARTITL/WATTBA on various tracks on the album. It just get boring since you have heard these exact tracks before. His lyrics are the same no lie. He is saying exactly the same things we have heard from him on previous tracks/albums. NoNot a very good album all things considered. The album sounds like a mixture of all his past albums.

He is saying exactly the same things we have heard from him on previous tracks/albums. No progression whatsoever. The only new sound we get on this album is the afro-pop inspired sound (on just 2/3 tracks). If he had made an album based on that sound, this album would have been killer since the tracks with that sound are the best on the album (One Dance, Hotline Bling, Too Good). Many of the tracks sound like something any rap artist of nowadays would make, which is a very bad thing to say about anyone, least of all Drake. Drake needs to step up to the plate and explore within his soul to create a masterpiece, not this. 6/10… Expand

    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.
