Probably top 7 but plot twist itself gotta be a top 12 track alll time hands down
*Top 5-10
Gotta give it more time to digest like at least a year to see how well it holds up
Has good replay value so far
Right now it's in my top 5 but in the end my order switches around so much has the margins are so small.
I just don’t get how so many treat NWTS and TC as so untouchable in his discography. I love them too but I honestly rarely listen to them, I’m much more drawn to more recent music usually.
I think it’s tough for people to separate nostalgia from how you really feel about the music.
Iceman might be at the top of the list for me. But I think every album has something that draws you to them specifically vs the others.
FATD is at the bottom just due to the forced rage rap influences on the front half that should had been replace by other tracks (such as by the scary hours FATD tracks). The back half of the album is classic tier songs.
When you listen to views or scorpion, you realize how much better Drake (and 40, Noel, etc) got at fine tuning his sound. His rapping voice has developed really nicely as he has aged which draws me to more back half of his discography. I can’t believe how different his voice used to sound when I listen to TML for example. He almost sounds like a teenager compared to today lol
“ I think it’s tough for people to separate nostalgia from how you really feel about the music.”
You nailed it 💯💯💯
If we can group all 3 albums as one body of work, its his best work (imho). I can comfortably say that.
Right now I got it somewhere in the 4-6 range, between Honestly, Nevermind and If You're Reading This
I just listened to Views the first time in a long time, I forgot how great it was 😳. It just sounds so sonically clean and atmospheric. I don’t think any other Drake album has been mastered as well.
Maybe you could cut With You, Pop Style, and maybe Grammys if you wanted to make it more concise but it’s a great listen.
The fact that critics trashed it the way they did is insane and is why I can’t take most of them seriously.
Below NWTS, Take Care, CLB, Thank Me Later, Views, IYRTITL
Above Scorpion, More Life, FATD
So somewhere in the middle, I’m someone who loves RNB Drake so take that how you will. I really like the album still
too early. only thing i can confidently say is that it has a good chance to surpass clb and fatd for me
picking out 14-18 from the 3 albums combined might give me something that i could put over tml, views, more life and scorpion
Top 5 right now indisputably so, he’s hungrier he’s been in a minute on this s*** so the energy on this album is not up for debate for classic status for me
