    This album is awful. The most generic, bland music Drake has ever made. The only reason this got a 2 instead of a 0 is because I like "Massive" and "Jimmy Cooks". Every other song is so bland.
    Best song on the album "Massive".

    This album is not good. He sang off key, he didn’t try. This wasn’t good, you can’t convince me it was. The only listenable song was Jimmy Cooks, however it was out of place completely.

If I asked my friend to throw a song on and they played this album, I’d take the aux away and say “honestly, nevermind”. The drones in the media and the drake Stan’s will defend this album, I think that’s even more proof that this album sucks.… Expand

    this is just the drakiest drake album. You know what to expect. No song here has somewhat of a meaning they are just stuck together just to make this awful album. The only hope here is the song sticky which sounds like a leftover from CLB and its mid like his discography. I still dont like Jimmy cooks that much and it also feels like Knife talk Pt.2 but I dont mind playing this song tho.this is just the drakiest drake album. You know what to expect.

    this album is just another hit to drakes legacy and career it is a messy cheap sounding dusty album the album sounds so outdated and the sampling either drags the tracks down or actually is the only good part of the song the album has 2 good tracks and 1 which has replayability which is jimmy cooks and mostly for 21 Savage

    This is just a terrible album start to finish. I don’t revisit a single track from this song. Not even Jimmy Cooks because it’s just a lazily done version of Knife Talk. **** this album.

    The only good thing about this album is the final track Jimmy Cooks and that’s because its in a completely different style to the rest of the album!

    Drake returns with a surprise record in terms of release, But pretty unsurprising in terms of substance.

Lacking any kind of flavour or taste in the execution of the already generic ideas, The production only makes the fascinatingly lazy songwriting and performances stand out even more. When I saw that this was a new ground for him, I was happy thinking that he atleast gets that he needs a sonic switchup to make something substantial. Little did I know that he will use this as an excuse to be more lazy in his works.… Expand

    I am a massive Drake fan so when i heard he was dropping a new album i really hoped it was better than his previous Album "Certified Lover Boy" which came out last year and imo it was a lot better than CLB but Overall i did not really enjoy the more dance, R&B style Drake was trying to go for on here and if im being honest there were only 4 songs i really enjoyed and keep replaying a lotI am a massive Drake fan so when i heard he was dropping a new album i really hoped it was better than his previous Album "Certified Lover Boy" which came out last year and imo it was a lot better than CLB but Overall i did not really enjoy the more dance, R&B style Drake was trying to go for on here and if im being honest there were only 4 songs i really enjoyed and keep replaying a lot those 4 are: Jimmy Cooks which featured the feature killer himself, the man who has never spit a Featured verse i never hated in the past 2 Years, that man being 21 Savage who btw im hoping does drop his 3rd Solo Album this year cause i really loved his last Album but Anyway Jimmy Cooks was a amazing closer to the album i really wished we got more trackd like that and Sticky which was another one of the best tracks on the album it was also released as a single later on and i appreciate that. Down Hill was another track that i really loved on here and serious if Drake had dropped a 3 Track EP with "Down Hill", "Jimmy Cooks" and "Sticky" it was most likely would have sold a lot better than this Album i guaranteed that. So Anyway Overall this Album was a Massive L in Drake's Discography and also the 3rd Straight Album in a row that Drake has dropped and it has been absolutel **** so yeah Overall Strong 3 out of 10. I hated a majority of the tracks except for "Down Hill", "Calling My Name", "Jimmy Cooks"(featuring. 21 Savage) and "Sticky".… Expand

    As much as I appreciate Drake taking a risk and switching up his style, this just isn't what I wanted to hear.

That being said, some of the songs actually provide a pretty nice moody vibe and are just fun to listen to when you're spending time with your thoughts at night. Drake, however, vocally and lyrically offers little to nothing to these songs so that their appeal mostly come down to the beats or the instrumentals. Overall just another project that Drake seemingly didn't put in much effort for. His cruise on autopilot continues, even if he slightly altered his course by turning to more of a house music kind of style.… Expand

    I'm almost in disbelief at how bad this album is. His attempt on making House music might actually be the worst in history... and it also seems like some of the songs just weren't mastered properly. Overdrive is the only decent song on this, and Jimmy Crooks is ok i guess.

    Honestly, he could have kept this one. Actually I have never understood the hype on Drake, I think he is too overrated. The album is full of basic beats and lyrics, and (as always) there aren't almost any rhymes. Very disappointing.

    WOW, this album is BAD! After Certified Lover Boy, which I thought was extremely meh, I would've thought Drake would put in SOME effort to make a good album. Guess I was wrong, this is one of the laziest albums I've ever heard.

    My biggest problem with Drake over the course of his career has been his unwillingness to evolve or experiment. The last time he really stepped out of his comfort zone (before this record) was on IYRITL, which is far and away my favorite drake project, and ever since that record I've been waiting for him to step into similarly uncharted territory on a studio album.

So when this album dropped by surprise and I heard from people that it was wildly different that what he was doing on CLB I was actually pretty excited. I could have not been more wrong. This album is awful, absolutely terrible. There are numerous Drake projects I dislike, in fact his last three or four studio albums I've found to be pretty lackluster overall, but this is the first album of his that I would consider to be an absolute disaster. I have no problem with Drake playing with different sounds, be it house music or anything else, but to do it so lazily and soullessly just boggles my mind. I can't recommend this to anyone, unless you think you'd enjoy the musical equivalent of waiting in line at the dmv… Expand

    This album is sooo cringe. If this were created by anyone else, it would be ripped apart. Proof that Drake can take a crap in a trash bag and it will sell like a hotcake during a food shortage. Hilariously praised that it's goat material by the sheeple. Ladies and gentlemen, he is trolling us. This joke is on us.

    Drake's 'Honestly, Nevermind' album comes only about six months after his release of 'Certified Lover Boy'... and the fact that it comes out only six months after that very much shows on this album.

Throughout the album, Drake's vocals sound like they were recorded and slapped on the song raw through Apple's "Voice Memos" app, and "Falling Back" sounding like it was mixed through a pair of dollar tree earbuds. Speaking of production, whoever decided it was a good idea to put a looping sound of bed springs on the track "Currents" should be fired immediately.

    Lyrically and vocally, it's fairly similar to 'Certified Lover Boy'. It's boring, sleepy, and bland, but something a little bit newer: repetitive. Who knows why Drake thought it would be a good idea on some of the tracks to repeat the same hook over and over again... maybe he's forgot how to write a song? Let's get this clear: it's usually verse — chorus — verse — chorus —bridge — chorus — outro. Perhaps this is Drake's attempt to be quirky and different? But, to me, the only thing it accomplished is making the album an all around drag to listen to.

    The best song on this album is in fact the 'Intro' track, it's mesmerizing, luscious, and ambient. However, after that track, it's just all downhill, with one last attempt of revival at the end with a somewhat listenable song with 21 Savage. I feel like Drake has lost his touch and passion for music and is just releasing music to get streams. He should take as much time as possible to really work on an album with an increased attention to detail instead of taking six months to make a horrific attempt at making a house music inspired album that belongs in the speakers of an ice skating rink, only to be subconsciously listened to.    … Expand

    Drake breaks no new ground here, and retreads the same tales of love and regret so many times that the songs bleed together. If you just want background music for making love, this is your album. If you want to have your imagination captured by fantastic tales or be taken on an emotional roller coaster, don’t bother. There are no highs or lows here. We’re on medium the whole time.
