Jun 29, 2018The 12 track Volume 1 of Scorpion is a sharply focused hip-hop album, with Drake delivering eloquent zingers over stripped back beats and spine-tinglingly atmospheric hooks. ... Meanwhile, the 13 track Volume 2 showcases Drake’s flip side, sensitive R'n'B loverman whose simple two-note melodies offer nights of pleasure on dance floors and in bedrooms yet somehow always end with broken hearts (usually his).
-
Jul 2, 2018Yet for all its tiresome megalomania, Scorpion is so beautifully rendered--from vocals to samples to features to beats--that Drake ends up pulling you over to his side, much like Kanye West did on his similarly vexing “Ye.”
-
Jul 13, 2018In the long run, a few duds in 90 minutes of material doesn't seem too high a sin, especially considering the same concession could easily be made for a release like the Beatles' White Album. Thus, with Scorpion, Drake makes a cohesive argument for broadening our attention spans and enjoying life's music, regardless of runtime.
-
Jul 2, 2018It’s a drag, but a compulsively listenable one, with velvety production and Drake’s typically elegant taste in guest voices.
-
Jul 2, 2018The star’s hubris is no more apparent than in its sheer breadth and lack of quality control. At 25 tracks in total, Scorpion is way too long--even by Drake’s own standards--and simply doesn’t need to be.
-
Jun 29, 2018Oddly erratic. ... The way he darts between different sounds is exhausting and, ultimately, messy. On certain tracks he raps like he has something to prove, on others it's like he has nothing.
-
Jul 3, 2018Drake offers little here that does not retread the sonic and narrative territory of his previous work.

Jul 2, 2018Drake is an overrated singer who does it well, but his music is very generic and repetitive, I feel he has no control over his voice

-
Jul 4, 2018Only 4-5 songs are good on this album. Drake is average and takes countless L's.
