I'm no Drake hater but his new album just aint doin it for me. Nothing Was the Same is still his peak imo.

Drake comes across as an artist who’s bought into his mythos and persona a bit too ardently. The production on Certified Lover Boy is svelte yet airless, filled with lots of solemn piano lines and muted snares but absent of big flourishes or attempts at pop crossover. It’s an approach that’s likely aiming for tasteful restraint, but the effect is languid and rather directionless.

wtf, Drake just surprise dropped a house album?

This is...actually pretty good. Haven't heard the whole album though.

This isn't bad. And for Drake that's high praise.

Liked Honestly Nevermind until the Beyonce album dropped and just achieved everything it was going for and more while sounding hell of a lot fuller than the Drake album did too.

Nothing new under the sun either (especially for Drake) but hate how misogynist Her Loss is lyrically :/
