    As much as I give Drake a hard time, I will admit that he is normally great at what he does....This album was not it though. It didn't seem well thought out and rushed. The best way to describe this album is wet bread...Drake doesn't have to vocal strength/skill to sing on a whole album. He needs real singers to back him up.

    People keep comparing the reaction to 808s but it’s not that. AT ALL. 808s was genre shifting. This is just regular dance/house. It’s pretty bad dance music at that. Some songs just drag on and on. When you start vining to something, Drake comes in and says something stupid. Nothing on here for anyone that isn’t a Drake stan.

    Despite the more interesting, housier beats, this album has some of the blandest, least interesting performances drake has ever put to tape.

    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

    After CLB (which I thought was okay) I was hoping Drake's next album would be one of his best. Pretty disappointed by this one I can't lie.

This could've been a great album and it has its merits but everything about it is extremely underwhelming overall.

I don't like the album as a whole, and the few songs that are okay are nowhere near Drake's best. Even his other albums that I would consider on the weaker side have at least one or two songs I really like that bring me back to it, but I can't say the same about this album. I hope his next is better.… Expand

    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.

    I didn't know what to expect from the album. But i was quite surprised to hear a house album. But soon i realised that every track sounded the same. Except for the last one they all sound like "Get it together" from "More Life". The Album is really boring and i'm not quite sure if CLB or this one was worse. The title sums up the album quite well. "Honestly, Nevermind"

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had much hope that the Drizzy we all loved and came to appreciate had returned with the intro tracks, Intro followed into Falling Back. With the polarizing production and groove that you wouldn't expect out of drake. At first listen you say after the first couple tracks, "this production is great, I wonder what else he has in store for us?" He didn't have anything else in store. The whole album is another heartbreak or lust filled song that has been so dried out from previous albums/songs of the same topic. It's just Drake's creative way of making the SAME **** I appreciate the experimental aspect of the album. However grooving 808s, drums, and samples just slightly tweaked on every club bass sample isn't creative. With dry and over tuned vocals from Mr. Lover Boy himself make for a boring listen. I actually skipped through most songs in the later portion of the album due to them not being different. At first you wanna dance, then you get bored, and then you get excruciatingly bored. You could tell someone to listen to one song on this album and it would be a preview of 90% of the album.
    Although tracks like Jimmy Cooks and Sticky change the tempo in a positive manner it goes right back to the same boring Drizzy.
    An honest disappointment of an album. Sounding just as rushed as the release, it's going to fall short in Drake's album discography.    … Expand

    I wish he did 'honestly nevermind'. This album is so boring that it serves as a vacuum for your energy. It has been 7 years since Drake made a good album, I wonder if we will ever see another one.

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

    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

    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.

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

Little did I know that he will use this as an excuse to be more lazy in his works.… Expand

    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".

    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

    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.

    Love-burnt and ambitious, Drake has produced something better than its predecessors, but without the fallback of crowd-pleasers, it is hard to see it standing the test of time.

    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.
