The tempo, rhythm and tone from song to song are nearly identical in essence making it one big 70-minute compilation of nonspecific flexing over “type-beat” trap instrumentals.
Guest spots by Young Thug and the Weeknd inject some much-needed personality into Bad Habits, but it's not enough to save the album from its own blandness.
This album fails to either navigate into new territory long enough to hold attention or do anything to further NAV as an artist. It isn't inherently bad, but it isn't great either.
Combine this with painfully repetitive production ... and that Bad Habits includes more blatant misogyny and homophobia than any project in recent memory and you start to pine for a simpler time, only a few weeks ago, when Nav had supposedly put down the mic for good.
He’s laid back to the point of not caring, an attitude which means that even if his music sticks in your head momentarily, it won’t endure, as there simply isn’t enough here beyond the most surface level kind of flossing.
Every night in my dreams
I see NAV™, I feel NAV™
That is how I know NAV™ goes on
Far across the distance

Love was when I loved NAV™
One true time I'd ... read more
It’s not that bad if you don’t pay attention to it, and you play it in the background. Unfortunately as a critic, this is not the best way to fully judge and criticize an album. However this is a NAV album. Rules don’t apply here. Paying attention to “Perfect Timing” was miserable, and this was sounding just fine in the background
Day 4 of listening to NAV. This album is truly special in terms of how generic it is. This album is so basic in every way that it's straight awful. These lyrics and the delivery don't seem like a real human being is doing this. Bad Habits is a project that deprived me of any outside stimulation whatsoever. The reason why it's not a complete 0/10 is that this is still a smidge better than projects like Total Xanarchy, but this is as close as you can get to an unlistenable album. NAV is truly a ... read more
