Yeah it loses its steam but I think it's just from fatigue the album has wayyy too many songs
too many long ass songs that have no reason to be long ass songs. I was okay with Keep The Family Close because it at least had some objective, redemption, u with me, faithful, with you, should be shorter or just not exist

Off of first listen:

Weston Road Flows (mainly because of the Mary J. Blige flip)
Faithful
One Dance
Childs Play
Fire & Desire
Views
Hotline Bling

Won't even count the interlude but it's good too.

IYRTITL is a much better project and if he pocketed some of those tracks for this it wouldn't be as weak. Like someone else said, he's singing on here but not really any of the classic singing tracks we are used to. In the Beats One interview he was saying this was his best vocal performance :usure: There's nothing on here touching Jungle off the mixtape.

I just finished the album and, I feel like while it's an enjoyable listen overall... The production kinda outshines Drake on here. It was crazy until it got to Redemption, and then from there it kinda lost its footing a little. It catches its breath on the next track With You, but from there on, the energy isn't the same. But my opinion may change.

Lol nobody hated TC , that was his peak
5 years does wonders on ya'lls memories.


People initially hated Take Care. They hated how emotional, slow, and moody it was.






and then we saw what happened when people sat with it, made memories to it, and let it marinate...




This is as good as, if not better than Take Care.





This is DEFINITELY better than Nothing Was The Same.





Same way nikkas hated 808s and Heartbreak. Or Yeezus. Or fukking Graduation.

This is BETTER than Take Care.

Watch.

This is evolved, mature, and more cohesive. It's WAY more self aware of what it wants to be.

This is easily among his best albums.
