Sep 3, 2021Although most tracks are boring, Drake is brave enough to confess that he is a lesbian. Deserves a 6.9
-
Sep 3, 2021A very good album, with very foods songs, but a little bit disappointing, because there is no major innovation
-
Sep 4, 2021Needs to be in consideration for album of the year.some of his best work .

Sep 3, 2021Super over hated album already. People are comparing to Donda. But in reality, this album is just better. The features are better, it’s more structured and it just sounds better. People love to hate on drake but will be calling this album great in a year.
-
Sep 4, 2021Don't listen at 8am on your phone. Turn it up! Some songs could get cut for sure, but some songs can be listened to like 10 times back there are just so many barz. Another Drake album where he feels the pressure to appeal to everybody, and the arrogance to appeal to nobody in particular either.
-
Sep 4, 2021Another Classic from the 6️⃣ god. Sad it’s getting reviewed bombed by a bunch of Ye stans.
-
Sep 4, 2021The beats represent the song and vocals very well, great sounding vocals, amazing features, incredible lyricism. Don’t hate, 10/10 album.
-
Sep 3, 2021No major hits on this one but The album serves the Lover Boy theme though.
Cohesion is Good and the production is excellent. More features than usual for a Drake album that are also spot on. If you go to the Movies to watch a great Love story while expecting an action movie with Bruce Willis you shouldn't go in the first place. I expect good reviews on this one in contrast with Kanye's DONDA. -
Sep 3, 2021truly his best work since 2015. the negative reviews are just people who want change. this man has been running a decade with "no change" okay
-
Sep 3, 2021No es lo mejor de Drake, pero para los estandares de 2021 es el mejor disco del año hasta la fecha, se defiende y logra hacer lo que sabe.

Sep 3, 2021Wow, I think this is one of the best albums of the year. Amazing! Get into the vibe of the songs, allow yourself to live this album and the criticism to the rapper stereotype present in it!

Sep 3, 2021haven't heard it yet but I'm giving it a 10 cause y'all are a bunch of hating hags

Sep 3, 2021This album is a Masterpiece and we all Know that. The wait was worth it Drake never miss
-
Sep 3, 2021play this in your car if it has an excellent sound system early in the morning or late at night when it's dark out & no cars are on the road appreciate the fact that this album will make you cry and want to give drake a hug because of how good it is any negative review you see on here is all lies this album is hot man
-
Sep 3, 2021It’s great. Nothing more to add, it’s just perfect. I loved it. The flow in every song is impecable. The features didn’t disappoint.
-
Sep 3, 2021If you’ve liked Drake all along, this bolsters your claim he is on the top of the hip/hop - r/b throne that HE created in the first place, if you’ve never been driving alone and played a drake song, you won’t like it, and still will never play him alone
-
Sep 3, 2021‘They’ll hate on CLB just like they did on Views’, album SLAPS, love the features and the intro is solid gold ❤️
-
Sep 3, 2021Drizzy Drake is back with the bops. Artist of the decade. Rap album of the year.

Sep 3, 2021High level songs, it's cool having collabs with good artists , there isn't something different we expect

Sep 3, 2021O melhor dele ate agora, inovador, viciante e complexo de fato é o Rei do Rap!
-
Sep 3, 2021Overall some hits. I feel like the cover art is a blow. But overall I liked it!
-
Sep 4, 2021Enjoyed it, may not be his best but people hating too much. Give it a couple listens then we’ll talk because I remember when people were hating on Donda too
-
Sep 4, 2021It's amazing how all of these reviews come out in just a day. Giving albums time to breathe doesn't exist anymore I guess lol. The album was shaky after the first listen but it gets better and better with more listens.
-
Sep 3, 2021Love all, pipe down, N2 deep, TSU tienen un aire fresco entre todo lo que ha echo drake hasta el momento, bueno esa es mi perspectiva, para mi gusto lo mejor del álbum
-

-
Sep 3, 2021Decent album. Has some good moments.
I would recommend Papi's Home, Fair Trade and No Friends in The Industry as the standout tracks in the album. -
Sep 3, 2021L’album #CLB de Drake
-
Sep 3, 2021Really good album. I love how each song joins in together in ways, and how every song gives off a nice vibe. Wish Laugh Now Cry Later and Vital were on it, but there are so many bangers.
-
Sep 3, 2021Good mix of easy vibes and bars. Very good features in comparison to other major albums out at the moment. Drake has mastered the catchy yet in depth rapping over very well produced beats. Samples almost make the listener feel nostalgic or emotional. 9/10 not a 10/10 only because of the album cover otherwise no complaints
-
Sep 3, 2021This is the Drake I been missing and anyone calling it mid is a hater. This will age well just like most Drake projects
-
Sep 3, 2021Classic album and it’s going to pave the way for a transition in how we define hip hop (topics, style) as the topics presented are far from what we are always know

Sep 3, 2021Once again Drake drops a classic album. Like always it’s a mix of club bangers and slow songs. Drake seemingly can’t miss!!
-
Sep 3, 2021drake proving once again to be one of hip hop's greatest artists. there are great songs on this album. I loved!
-
Sep 3, 2021great album overall. you can tell by how all 15 yo white boy kanye stans are already all over the place thrashing on it, cheers drizzy.

Sep 3, 2021Drizzy never misses. Definitely delivered on the vibes I was looking for you, lots of playlist songs. As for hype songs, No Friends In the Industry and holy Papi's Home is a favourite.
-
Sep 3, 2021Amazing album, bringing back the old drakes we all know and love. He had great features in this album as well!
-
Sep 3, 2021drake outdid himself again with this work after nothing was the same. absolutely love the record and
-
Sep 3, 2021Holy **** this project continues to AMAZE. Fair Trade sounding like "Sickomode 2", Weezy, Future, Rick Ross, 21 Savage??? Good lord.
-
Sep 3, 2021a good mix with all the vibes. he delivered exactly what we needed. future did almost ruin it though but he caught up, so its okay.
-
Sep 4, 2021Certified Lover Boy is another good release by Drake! Honestly would pin it as 7-8/10, but a lot of Kanye fans and haters seem to be review bombing this album with negative scores due to his current feud with Drake. Hopefully this 10 will help balance things out.
-
Sep 3, 2021Very good album, love drizzy and the crew. Very good beats, Vey good flows.
-
Sep 3, 202180% hits. All features were amazing. Better than last 3 albums. Closest thing we'll get to peak drake.

-
Sep 3, 2021Fair trade is best so far. 7am on bridle path is real talk. Love all is also a bop
The intro on TSU was not needed -
Sep 3, 2021Amazing his best album so far I don’t get why people hating for no reason everything he did so fresh and new really amazing job the goat speaking
-
Sep 3, 2021You’re lying to yourself if you say this album isn’t absolute gas. One of the best studio albums he’s put out and an instant classic
-
Sep 3, 2021B E S T A L B U M O F T H E Y E A R !!! Kanye is crying now hahahahahhahah

Sep 8, 2021Great production, sample selection, and melodies. Has good mix of hype songs like 7am on bridle path and RnB songs like Race my Mind. It's what I want out of a Drake album.
-
Sep 3, 2021A perfect mixture of hard hits and slow bangers, Drake did well with this one.
-
Jan 8, 2022Very good listen. Almost no skips for me, except for the Ty Dolla Sign collab and The Remorse. All the songs are very solid, with at least 5-8 bangers. The songs are sharp and the replay value is very high. My favorites: Champagne Poetry, N 2 Deep, TSU, Pipe Down, Fair Trade, You Only Live Twice, Yabba's Heartbreak, No friends in the Industry.
Recommended. -
Sep 7, 2021On my second listen through, i found a different appreciation for the project. I feel like beginning tracks come off strong, a lull in the middle, and a strong finish. Will continue to listen and see if my opinions change, but my immediate response is "its OKAY". Would give this a 7/10 but am bumping up my score due to the unnecessary amount of 0's
-
Sep 4, 2021All drakes haters giving him **** The first quarter is not that good however, the second half is great !
-
Sep 4, 2021Overall, it's not Drake's best album by any means, but there are quite a few great tracks and features, and perhaps a few that will be considered classics down the line. GIVE THIS A SECOND LISTEN. I was disappointed by my first listen and gave it a 7/10, but upped it to 8/10 after my second.

Sep 5, 2021Um bom álbum, com um começo muito cativante, possui várias faixas boas e algumas monótonas, mas nada que chegue a ser ruim. Ótimas participações e produções impecáveis.

Sep 5, 2021Still not over the lesbian line, but other than that it's solid. Production on point, bars on point with a few exceptions, features on point. It's very Drake though, as in it's almost like you've heard the demo of all the tracks before. Basically comes down to if that's a sound you like or not. I enjoyed it, would definitetly have vibed it all through the summer had it been out.
-
Sep 5, 2021Would say most drake fans like myself wanted old school drake music again and this album is that. He delivered on what I expected. Love the opener, gave me tuscan leather vibes and the outro The Remorse is also amazing. Minimal skips but doesnt seem to have many hits.
-
Sep 5, 2021Another solid album. Lots of layers and lots of fam service. The Boy did his thing again.
-
Sep 6, 2021Mentioned by my previous comment by somehow disappeared. Great production. Great music
-
Sep 16, 2021It’s a good album but it’s Drake so peeps will hate lol. Favorite songs No Friends in the industry, 7am on Bridle Path, Champagne Poetry, TSU, Fair Trade, YOLT & IMY2.

Sep 18, 2021CLB was exactly what I was expecting from Drake. A mix of toxic masculinity mixed with battling the feats of being the peak.

Sep 24, 2021Drakes sixth studio album gets too much hate. Most of them Kanye fans which I understand why they would be angry (its not gospel) anyways this album has great features nice beats and in typical Drake fashion his lyrics and versatility mix well into most songs on the album. That being said this album isn't perfect, but it isn't as far off as people say.
-
Oct 18, 2021No it's a bad album. Donda > CLB
Top 3:
-Love All ft. Jay Z
-Fair Trade ft. Travis Scott -No Friends In The Industry -
Apr 29, 2022I don’t know what I was expecting but I was expecting something that wasn’t this.

Oct 19, 2021It’s beige, hollow music and that’s what ultimately frustrates your dedicated rap listener because it doesn’t make sense why it’s so damn popular. When you throw the poor writing on top of this, and some real hit-and-miss production into the mix, “Certified Lover Boy” may well be Drake’s worst album.
-
Sep 13, 2021Drake comes across as an artist who’s bought into his mythos and persona a bit too ardently. ... The production on Certified Lover Boy is svelte yet airless, filled with lots of solemn piano lines and muted snares but absent of big flourishes or attempts at pop crossover. It’s an approach that’s likely aiming for tasteful restraint, but the effect is languid and rather directionless.
-
Sep 13, 2021Things start promisingly with the undulating Champagne Poetry dextrously reflecting on loneliness (“career is going great, but now the rest of me is fading slowly”), while Papi’s Home recalls early Kanye, of all people, with its sped-up samples and laid-back flow. Later, however, that playfulness calcifies into headline-grabbing stunts. ... This is an album destined to be filleted for various #mood playlists, anchored only by its creator’s untouchable fame.
