Just finishing off my first listen through now. I think I'm gonna end up liking this more than Take Care.

Too Much is fantastic.
 
FUCK, if you guys say this is better than Take Care then I have to get this. I was genuinely surprised by how much Take Care grew on me when it first came out.
 
i forget who's on the hook here on Too Much? he needs to work with dude more often

Sampha. Truly awesome.

Miss Jhené on Track 7 is my favorite. The album is solid but there are some serious pacing issues. R&B songstress drift music. That versatility.

Hold On, We're Going Home still remains stellar. And although I think The Language is the weakest track, those simplistic bullshit verses from yours truly, The Birdman were fucking hilarious. "Tote 9's, yes lawwwwd."

From Rap Genius:
You understand me?
Showtime, headlines
Big time, sunshine, tote nines
Bust mines, flatline, hard grind
High life, stay fly as jet time

YES.

It's slow. But a good listen.
 
This is solid, but I think I wouldn't say it's better than, or even as good as Take Care. It's better than his first album at least.

Several songs just kinda come and go and don't really leave a lasting impression, though basically all of them have pretty good production. I think Take Care has more interesting songs overall.
 
I really like this album, he made it relatable to everybody while being personal at the same time. My favorite song is From Time, Jhene really killed her vocals and Drake had some great verses on that song. This will probably be album of the year, unless Riff Raff or Schoolboy Q can somehow top it.
 
I enjoy this album. I am a Drake fan so I would probably like it anyway. However, I think it is really nice regardless of that fact...haha.

Worst Behavior shoulda just been the second half though...one of my only complaints.

The other one is where the hell did that beat from the trailer end up at. Definitely not on this album. Oh well though.
 
I still think the highs of Take Care were higher but this album is just more consistent all around and the production is on point.

I was also hoping for another poppy song like Hold On, We're Going Home. Thats definitely one of the highlights of this album.

Great, great stuff.

Oh and Furthest Thing is really dope. Have not seen a lot of praise for it yet. I feel that track though.

Yeah man, that song is great. Beat change is sweet.
