Feels like part of the "feud" with Ye to see if he drops DONDA.
It'd be the first studio album from Drake we get with no active single on the charts, no?

I feel like this is in for a significantly underwhelming commercial performance

Im halfway through and…idk, this isn’t clicking for me. There are a couple of tracks so far (two to be exact) that are decent but anyone hoping for something to dance to will be greatly disappointed. I’ll save my final verdict until I finish but so far I’m not blown away and a little bored? This is definitely a Sunday night, glass of red type of album. And TBH…Donda hit me harder upon first listen (and trust me, I didn’t want that to happen).

CLB First Listen Review:
Champagne Poetry: A bit boring for an intro. I wanted him to do a Over My Dead Body, Tuscan Leather, Legend or Deep Pockets type of intro but it does pick up towards the end (6/10).
Papi’s Home: I really wish Nicki would stop messing around and actually feature on a Drake album again. Otherwise the song is actually a vibe (8/10).
Girls Want Girls: The lesbian line was terrible execution and definitely a line that should’ve been in the vault and never see the light of day so it definitely brings the quality down. This might be controversial but i actually liked Baby’s verse on this song better than him on Hurricane so he saves the song (4.5/10).
In Da Bible: Lil Durk and Giveon made the vibe of this song work. I really didn’t like how low energy and out of place Drake sounded in comparison. I disliked how the chorus sounded like Take Care vibes and then it went back to the boring side of Drake we all been dealing with (5/10).
Love All: I loved both Drake and Hov and this is a banger, nothing more to say (8.5/10).
Fair Trade: The one i was waiting for and glad to see Travis was on it but i wished the sample was used a tad bit less. Otherwise i love the song and an obvious choice for a single (9/10).
Way 2 Sexy: This should’ve hit harder than what we got, maybe it’s how the song kinda drags out (5.5/10).
TSU: Boring intro imo, but this is basically the Not Around leaked track and it’s not that special (6/10).
N 2 Deep: The better Future collab track. I liked the beat switch but it could’ve been 2 separate tracks and it would’ve hit harder on both (6/10).
Pipe Down: The song is better if you think of it as a vibe, so let’s just leave it at that for the better (7/10).
Yebba’s Heartbreak: Basically the Skepta’s Interlude/Wednesday Night Interlude of the album. This is also where the album goes in a different direction compared to the first half (8/10).
No Friends in The Industry: This is if Landed meets Popstar, but the production, bars and energy is at an all time high. I loved the sample and how it was utilized, and the track overall is just adrenaline (9.5/10).
Knife Talk: Everyone did their thing on the track, and is a way better collab with Drake and 21 compared to Mr. Right Now (8.5/10).
7am On Bridle Path: It’s a time and location song, i would be surprised if it was a miss (9.5/10).
Race My Mind: This is an amazing vibe and loved the shift between the melancholic and the rapping (8/10).
Fountains: This is just Essence without Wizkid, kinda boring and Tems deserved better (4/10).
Get Along Better: I wish Ty Dolla had more to do but this song does drag out a bit (5/10)
You Only Live Twice: If you know how much Lord Knows mean to me, you would understand. Wayne snapped so hard on this, he’s been killing his 2021 features lately (9.5/10).
IMY2: Drake and Cudi doesn’t sound like something that would happen especially in 2021, but i’m so glad this did happen and they both came to make a certified hit! (9.5/10).
Fucking Fans: Nothing too special, dragging out and kinda a skip tbh (4.5/10)
The Remorse: Drake is really like an Oreo at this point. I don’t even know where his killer intro’s and outro’s have gone. The Ride, Pound Cake, 6pm in New York, Do Not Disturb (especially), that’s how you make a Drake outro, not this mess. Just like the last track it just drags out (5/10).
Overall: 7.5/10
I’ll give it this, it does sound way better than Scorpion and More Life as a whole. I just wish he would evaluate what and what not to put on the album. Taking out the lows would definitely raise the quality, but the highs do have some elements in them that I could’ve just done without. I wish Wants And Needs was on the album and not the new Drake and Baby collab we got, and also LNCL instead of In The Bible. Regardless, if i were to rank his projects including CLB it would probably go like this:
1. Take Care 2. If You’re Reading This 3. Nothing Was The Same 4. Views 5. CLB 6. Dark Lane Demo Tapes 7. So Far Gone 8. What A Time 9. Thank Me Later 10. More Life 11. Scorpion

I haven't heard a song of his since Scorpion. I def want this to be on CD but I will prob give it a stream at some pt this weekend. The clips sound like standard-issue Drake, though.

Love All Pipe Down Race My Mind Fountains Get Along Better (!! He's giving us SOUL) Definitely a bit reductive but those tracks are fire.
