Just heard the news and I'm listening. Views is cancelled—this is very good so far.
Edit: Is Sampha uncredited on '4422'?
Edit 2: Went back to 'Get It Together'. Drake flirting with David Morales-era house is something I never thought I needed, but we are stanning. I think this song single-handedly made me woke.

There's few parts where it weighs down a bit, which is added to by the length, but I really like it overall. Most of my favorite tracks are towards the beginning and end.

Overall I think this is better effort than Views. I'd have cut a couple tracks and aren't interludes a bit pointless on a "playlist"? But otherwise, I like most of it.

I like the girl he replaced on "Get it Together", although, I would've liked to hear Jenny.

Her accent and her vocals and life are perfect for the song.

Drake take a brake and will be forgotten, he´s no Kate Bush or D´Angelo, who can afford to do what they want, he´s pretty much commercial product, which depends on trends in music. But he´s doing great. There are some other important people who should take a brake or they might f... up this world altogether.

A physical release is coming. This is an album.
Loving "Get It Together", "Madiba Riddim", "Teenage Fever" and "Passionfruit" at the moment.

To me, he is very forgettable and offers nothing special in the current music environment. Obviously, I'm in the minority here since he is a huge seller.

From Passionfruit to 4422 I'm rocking hard and than I fall asleep until Teenage Fever wakes me back up for only just a moment. This suffers the same issue that his last two albums had where nothing outside of the singles and R&B flavored tracks felt dynamic like his first two albums.

More Life is giving me so much life right now! Where did this come from? There are so many jams on this one. I have usually enjoyed Drake in a guilty pleasure sort of way but now I can enjoy him unashamed. Based on my first listen, I love it. I lit some sandalwood and then sipped some prosecco (by Menage A Trois--how appropriate) while enjoying every eargasmic moment. "Passionfruit", "Get It Together", "Teenage Fever", and "Madiba Riddim" are the highlights. I don't mind the interludes (thank you Janet for always having those) I like how there are natural ebbs and flows in the sound and production. This is a perfect bedroom album. I just wish I had someone right now I could enjoy it with. I now know why Amanda Bynes wanted Drake to murder it. Damn I feel so good I wanna cry.

I find it interesting that this is his most critically acclaimed album, as well as the fact that both his first and last efforts (neither one traditionally albums) are his highest rated. Maybe he is better off putting out work in this format. I know with More Life, at least, it balances him out and reduces some of his more annoying tendencies. I still say #justiceforViews though. It doesn't deserve the critical drubbing it continues to take.

I just wish he would make a straight up hard core rap album. I like the variety but I just want him to drop like a tight 10 track no feature pure rap album one more time in his career
