Sep 3, 2021Literally sounds like his last three albums. Don't go into this expecting anything new. DJ Akademiks falling asleep on live while listening to it is evidence enough, the whole album was boring. Worst Drake album of all time
-
Sep 8, 2021never seen such a lazy album, the problem was the antecipation of it, got me hyped up and didn’t correspond the expectations.
-
Sep 5, 2021Very bland sadly, was hoping for progression but Drake leans into his features heavily and shows little inspiration.
-
Sep 3, 2021This album is just so bland and boring, we’re facing a Scorpion 2, just not fun and not quality music
-
Sep 3, 2021Biggest disappointment of 2021. Only enjoyable part was Cudi’s feature. Drake should stick to being a pedophile and sending people back to rehab
-
Sep 3, 2021If I want to hear someone in their mid 30’s cry about failed relationships I’ll go on Xbox live.
-
Sep 4, 2021This is the worst album I’ve ever heard. Can’t believe he dished this out over a beef. Needed to shelve many of these songs. The only reason it’s worth listening to is for the collabs. Sad when only thing worth hearing on your album is other people. Can’t believe this is same guy who gave us Scorpion. Get some new ghostwriters Aubrey.

Sep 3, 2021Boring asf
-
Sep 3, 2021This album lacks any kind of innovation. Even the good songs feel like they've been done better before by Drake himselft. Another lazy and long record by drake just to pull in streaming numbers.

Sep 3, 2021Better having no cover at all than this hideous atrocity, this sin against humankind, this disrespectfulness against everything that the lord holds sacred, this monstrous attempt of doing something funny and clever. I’m a centennial and seriously can’t comprehend Drake’s sense of humor or lack of taste. If the album sounds as bad as de art looks, this might be a solid 3 AT ABSOLUTE BEST.

Sep 3, 2021Very boring album. Probably one of drake's worst ones. Plays it safe and every track sounds the same..
-
Sep 4, 2021Boring. Started to listen it, but Ive already heard these songs on prev albums. So much potential…
-
Sep 3, 2021Not progressing from the format or sound of his previous work, Drake has yet again managed to add a safe and disappointing record to his discography. Has Drake forgotten how to make a piece of art rather than a product?
-
Sep 3, 2021Esperava muito mais de um album do drake..
Nem as musicas com feat tão esperado, como travsi ficaram em um vibe boa.. pra um cantor que só canta musicas comerciais.
Apresenta musicas cansativas de se ouvir.
Musicas que não ouviriamos mais de 1 vez em 1 dia. -

Sep 3, 2021"Certified Lover Boy" is just the same drake album that listeners have been getting for years... I would rather listen to more life than this album.
-
Sep 3, 2021Akademiks fell asleep listening to this album. That pretty much says its all.
-
Sep 3, 2021You really can't convince me that this is a good album. Its hard to think of a song i'd listen to again on this album. I wanted it to be good but man its just not.
-
Sep 3, 2021i'm sorry, but donda is better. I really had hopes for this drake album....
-
Sep 3, 2021Drake has done it once again , another mid-album.
Even the star studded features couldn't save it. -
Sep 3, 2021Very boring, no hits. Such a disappointment, was looking forward for this album.
-
Sep 3, 2021Very very bored, this album is so bad, terrible lyrics, the worst récord of Drake

Sep 3, 2021Wtf what this?? THE MOST GENERIC ALBUM OF ALL TIME. So much hype for nothing!
-
Sep 3, 2021Every song had the same tune.. there were a few good songs but majority were boring.. Jay Z’s verse was amazing but that is pretty much it.
-
Sep 3, 2021Lazy Album, Drake doesn't come as evolved or as energetic. The album seems like a previous album, with no sense of creativity, which is disrespectful for the fans.

Sep 3, 2021———————— the whole entire album feels the same . Flat all the way thru . The beats and music flow just seems so similar and boring . No sense of direction through this entire album and project in terms of creativity . Just feels like a pop song for corporates to take control. Just feels like the whole entire album is lazy in terms of creativity and execution.

Sep 3, 2021cLb (capitalized the L) is absolute doodoo ass. I created this account just to give this trash album a 0. so disappointed.

Oct 19, 2021It’s beige, hollow music and that’s what ultimately frustrates your dedicated rap listener because it doesn’t make sense why it’s so damn popular. When you throw the poor writing on top of this, and some real hit-and-miss production into the mix, “Certified Lover Boy” may well be Drake’s worst album.
-
Sep 13, 2021Drake 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.
-
Sep 13, 2021Things start promisingly with the undulating Champagne Poetry dextrously reflecting on loneliness (“career is going great, but now the rest of me is fading slowly”), while Papi’s Home recalls early Kanye, of all people, with its sped-up samples and laid-back flow. Later, however, that playfulness calcifies into headline-grabbing stunts. ... This is an album destined to be filleted for various #mood playlists, anchored only by its creator’s untouchable fame.
