The beats save this from being totally unlistenable. On so many of these songs Drake sounds so lifeless and sounds like he’s totally given up. He never seems to add anything to any of these tracks, his vocals and rapping are always either completely bland and unpleasant or made to sound awful thanks to whack auto-tune or off-beat attempts at flow.
I do appreciate the funky dance-style beats, they give this album some life and save it from being on the same level as CLB. Some songs had ... read more
I’m so confused, this album has two ratings, one being a 100 and one being a 0.
How does the total user score end up being 5? Shouldn’t it be 50?
I was surprised how complete this album is. It has a lot of different styles, different emotions and a lot of good songs. None of it is even bad at all, just some of it doesn’t quite fit my style (too basic rock without that much substance). I feel like the first half of the album suffers from that a little bit, but it really isn’t that big of a deal at all, I can’t knock the score down that much just cause it’s not fully my style.
The last 5 songs on this album are ... read more
this is a masterful song. this is so gorgeous and heart-wrenching, i’ve completely fallen in love
I’ve had a while to sit with this album now, I’m kinda amazed at the replay value already. This album is going to age brilliantly, it fits every mood. It’s upbeat and revives the dance-pop style we all know and love, while also exploring a lot of very real and tough topics (is there someone else or not?)
I don’t think it quite reaches the same highs as After Hours, but at the same time it’s more accessible. It’s an album you can put on at any moment and have ... read more
This is a really great single, I don’t know it in the context of the movie but as a standalone song I love it.
It has a beautiful, melancholic feel to it with the piano and emphasised vocals with a quick build up to the chorus, where some real emotion kicks in.
“That wasn’t me, I don’t know who that was” is a line that can be applied to so many situations in life when we make mistakes that are out of character. It goes on to add some context “that was ... read more
There’s a fair bit of beauty here, I don’t always mind mellowness in music (in fact I usually quite like it). Here it’s probably a little excessive, some tracks (especially in the second half) really just don’t hit the spot. I can still appreciate what this style does bring to the table though. The first half of the album does carry a lot of strength in its calmness and details a lot of experiences with nature and with life, I happen to really enjoy most of these songs ... read more
There’s enough here to keep me interested.
The theming of drugs and love hits as usual, but does start to get a little bit repetitive. A lot of songs I found quite unmemorable due to very basic production and nothing lyrically to help them stand out. However, within all of that, it’s Juice, so of course there are moments where the emotion really comes through and you get sucked in.
