That concept wasn’t well executed. Besides the interlude and some skits at the beginning, there’s nothing that truly sets that theme throughout the album. Just listen to the tracklist: sure, there’s that sequence of controlla and one dance, but then come Grammys, a cold trap song, childs play (which is warmer but is not really a summer song), pop style (definitely another cold song) and finally, before the interlude, we have too good (which is a song that reflects that tropical summer vibe). Now, how does that sequence of songs show the theme of seasons in Toronto? In my opinion, it doesn’t. It shows that Drake was working until the very last minute and had a whole bunch of songs, which he didn’t want to cut, so he crammed them all within the tracklist.

On the other hand, if you listen to the lyrics on AH you can clearly follow the story of the album: The Weeknd’s alone again, realizes it’s way too late for them in LA and that he’s been the hardest to love and escapes from LA, after that he goes back to his old ways and goes on a rampage and ends up on the back of a police car, with flashing lights. Next, he realizes his mistakes and goes through is blinded by the lights on his way back to his old girl. We then have songs that all transmit a theme related with eyes, when weeknd tries to win her back. He can’t, time passes with the repeat after me interlude and then we get to the title track where Weeknd is finally 100% honest. On the outro, we are left with the question: did Weeknd kill himself?

This was my opinion of Views too. Understand his vision but the just of me not really enjoying it that much was the execution. Seemed all over the place.

Whereas NWTS/TC flows extremely well, NWTS especially. I trust CLB won’t have the Views issue.

Don’t get me wrong, Views definitely has highlights and has grown on me through the years. But I’m not gonna tryna paint the picture that this album is some kind of cohesive and thematic masterpiece when it isn’t

Views flows very well for me. That listen through has aged well. Only probables is he didn’t execute half the rap songs to the highest quality

Scorpion is the album that sound all over the place although there are fire songs
