After giving it a few spins (with my headphones & in my living room with the speakers with the crazy bass) it's a average album. Not great & not bad either. Like others have said in the thread, it's too many tracks. Halfway through the album, I started to lose interest until "Controlla" came on & gave the album some much needed energy.

My favorite tracks:
Feel No Ways :banderas:
With You :mj:
Controlla :shaq:
Too Good :stylin:

It's not better thank Take Care or NWTS. Final grade 6.5/10

So after listening for most of the day I think 9 is my favorite track if you were to press me for an answer but I really don't want to have to choose :sadcam:



MJ in every way I just don't fadeawy :ohlawd:




Feel No Ways
Still Here
Weston Road Flows
U With Me?
With You
Too Good
Controlla
Views
Hype
Childs Play
One Dance

But I could easily pick any of the above, my only real gripe is Hotline Bling at the end is kind of weird but it's a bonus track so :yeshrug:

Album is bloated, messy, meandering, and unfocused.

Honestly not worthy of a full review. Drake's got a camp of supposedly the best writers, engineers, and producers working nonstop for two years.....for THIS?!!!?!!?


Kendrick Lamar LITERALLY has throwaway songs better than this project.
Kendrick has no songs better than half this album.

Stop it.

And bloated? Bruh, these songs are fukking anthems.

After three run throughs today, this is just long, boring, contrived music. If he split this, like Nelly did Sweat/Suit (one half just rap and R&B and the other half Caribbean influenced joints) I think it would've worked better. 20 straight tracks got tiresome. I was tired by the time One Dance came around on the first listen. I had no expectations going in other than it would be mild with one hot wing. That one hot wing was the Rihanna track and everything else was good but nothing wow'd me.

This album was safe. And after the July 2015 that never ended, he did nothing to blow us away. "I turned the 6 upside down it's a 9 now", "Your best day is my worst day / I get green like Earth Day", "you toying with me, like a happy meal." What the hell is this? :dahell: He's plateaued and he needs to take a break. He can do a lot better than this.


Best song(s)? Weston Road Flows, With You, Too Good.
