    Huge letdown after IYRT, I was hoping he would go more in that direction, especially when Pop Style leaked. That being said, cutting it down to 12 tracks or so could have made a decent project. As it is though, its bloated and all over the place. 4.5/10.

    One of the most disappointing albums in recent memory. I thought this would be his magnum opus. There's some decent songs on here but outside of U With Me, Weston Road Flows, Childs Play, and Views, as a whole its very inconsistent, has some of his worst one liners ever, bloated, and just a very messy weak attempt at a concept album. Its probably his worst album worse than TML. I give it a 9 upside down

    Views from the 6/10

    6/10 for me. Redemption top 5 simp record. Singles were good. Too good is great. Too many fluff records though. I still listen to about 8/9 tracks consistently

    honestly really like this project. Its underrated as f---.

    Yes it does have a couple skips but most of it ranges from decent to some of his best songs ever.

    U With Me :wow2:

    Good project

    I was too soft on this album at first because I really wanted to like it, then way too hard on it to make up for that when I admitted it wasn't that great. There are great songs on here — but as an album, it's a complete and utter mess. Feel No Ways is great, Too Good is great, One Dance is great, Still Here was the best Chief Keef song of 2016. There some other good songs in there, but it's hard for me to give this album a very good score when you have to cut the track list nearly in half to make it play cohesively. Luckily, he figured out the formula to big album like this with More Life, but that doesn't change the fact that Views is a mess. 5.5/10.

    I also wanna add—this was the point where Drake's music seemed to be on the decline and he was so oversaturated in pop culture and everyone was riding him. He'd evolved from relatable simp Drake to this a------ bro-y Drake who only woks out his arms who makes songs about how women should have to pay him to have sex with him. I was so over it. And at that point I just couldn't take songs like Child's Play because I was just so tired of this persona and his immaturity. But in retrospect, that song is great.

    6 out of 10

    The album starts off great, but once Redemption ends I dont like any of the songs until it reaches Too Good. The last few songs are really d--- good too aside from Hotline Bling. If it was cut down a few tracks I would really like this album. I never understood the love for the singles, Too Good is the only one I can even tolerate.

    bland musically. ton of it sounds like ASMR sleep music. even the bangers (Hype, 9, Pop Style) are super dull.

    Drake sounds like he's on autopilot, a lot of the writing is cornier than ever (Chaining Tatum, Cheesecake, DM exes, etc etc etc.)

    but there's def some standout s---. Keep The Family Close, One Dance, U With Me. but not enough to save the album

    5/10

    I was really hyped for it especially after IYRT, but whole album feels all over the place. It was the time when Drake lost his sound and felt really flat and one dimensional. First listen was also one of the biggest let downs I have experienced. So given that I will give it 5/10.

    My issue with Views is similar to my issue with Take Care. Individually, I do like a lot of these songs but I just don’t think they play well together as a whole project. Hearing interviews after the release of Views, it made sense why the album was so crowded. Drake just had a different mindset, he was in the midst of his feud with Meek & a lot of the music he was making was very aggressive which didn’t match the album he was trying to make. That led to him having to redo this album numerous times & even considered scrapping it at one point. This final product I think is what Drake felt was the best he could do at the time. The process that went into making this album was a huge mess thus why it’s pretty underwhelming overall. A focused & driven Drake can do better as we’ve heard with NWTS & More Life.

    Yep this album was a flopped. Drake was probably at his peak in popularity, drawing so much hype into this album and this is what he gave us. Theres still quite a few good songs on this album but overall it was quite long and boring. We lacked the rapping Drake, he was way too assertive in his verses and didnt take on the brilliant production made by 40.

    I'd give this album a 6/10 with the pun not intended. There were still some really good songs on here, but it's still not what I was looking for, for an album that was meant to represent your city.

    I've only listened to Views a few times back when it was released but that was enough for me to realise it was an average offering from Drake. 3/10.

    Like with most of Drakes albums, they become quiet forgettable with time. The songs i like I absolutely love and play in bulk. For this reason I have seen him live twice and both times he killed it. I'm a fan but find his albums are never consistent enough.

    Songs I liked on Views 6/19 (32%). Production for the most part was good, writing was lazy af, the great melodies and sound I enjoyed on NWTS was not as evident here. Normally I can forgive poor writing if Drake's melody and sound is great, however this was not as apparent. Quiet a big let down after NWTS and IYRT.

    Overall - 5.5/10, originally I gave it a 6.5.

    Has some good songs on it like 9 and one dance but lets be serious this album is full of filler. When hes not doing his generic trap songs like grammys hes doing some dancehall stuff which is way worse than his rnb music.

    5/10
