The truth is that the first four songs on “ If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late” are better than the entire “Views” album – and he didn’t even write those songs. Having thoroughly digested “Views” you can see what Drake was aiming for – it absolutely makes every other album of his look inferior in technical knowhow, but utterly forgets the point of music. It’s obtusely long (over 80 minutes), and packed with too much filler.
His career seemed to have survived a mixed 2015 in the best way possible, and “Views” seemed as though it would be a victory lap – instead, it ends up a pity party, with Moany McMoanface as the host, constantly chewing your ear off, spewing out every problem he’s ever had bottled up (like Bruce Willis’ turn in “Friends”). Is this the beginning of the end for Drake? “Views” is simultaneously his most polished album yet arguably his worst.
