At first, I thought ICEMAN was easily the best album of these three, with this being the most middling, and MAID OF HONOUR being the bottom of the barrel worst. This is no longer the case.
MAID OF HONOUR at least has the courtesy to be funny sometimes in how god awful it is. This on the other hand is everything wrong with modern Drake for an entire 36 minute LURCH of an album; lifeless and boring production all throughout that meshes horribly with Drake's half hearted, monotone, ... read more
One of the most bafflingly awful things I think I've ever heard from Drake.
With other bad Drake albums, they're usually just the same drawn out, boring experience all throughout with only one or a handful of bafflingly awful tracks here and there. I mean, sure songs like Way 2 Sexy, Meet Your Padre, and Currents were some of the most baffling songs Drake had ever released at the point they were made, but each of the projects those songs came from for the most part were just the same ... read more
My expectations for this project were absolutely rock bottom, so maybe the only reason I thought this was surprisingly okay was because of how low they were, but I actually had an okay experience listening to this.
This album is definitely filled with corny lines, especially on the more "lyrically focused" tracks, but at this point, I go into Drake albums knowing that the lyrics are going to be beyond corny at points and to just try and accept it. For me, the corny lyrics ... read more
So, I just heard this album today, and so it may be a bit soon to make a full fledged review of it, but my initial thoughts are this is a fantastic project and genuinely good music even if you know nothing about what Evan Fong's primarily known for, that being as the gaming YouTuber VanossGaming.
speed genuinely gives me the same vibes that Joji gave me when he first started making serious music; this doesn't sound like "YouTuber music". It's clear from the way this ... read more
So, I first heard this album when I was having a pretty bad and stressful day, so when I first heard it, I thought it was pretty much unlistenable.
Hearing it when I'm in a better mood though... It's not complete garbage like the last 3 officially released albums of his have been, but it just feels very depressing to listen to, and not really in a good way. V1, V2, and Donda 2 at least had some elements that were so unbelievably disastrous that it was at least funny to talk ... read more
