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.

Sep 3, 2021there are like 4 tracks that are good, the rest is just the same, boring, kinda soul-less. this album was made for "top tik-tok songs you should know" videos

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 3, 2021Big let down. 3 years and this what we get? Any and all of your singles over the past 3 years were better than any of these songs.

Sep 4, 2021Só jail do donda é melhor que esse álbum inteiro. Álbum lamentável, terrível!! MID, MID, MID, MID! Queria saber o que esse cara tem na cabeça pra ver esse álbum e pensar que tá bom o suficiente pra lançar kkkk. É um dos piores do drake.

Sep 8, 2021Nothing new, it’s just Drake. You can love him or you can hate him… That’s all.

Sep 4, 2021Sounds like every other Drake album. I would have liked to hear more R&B or Pop in the album especially if the name is Certified Lover Boy. The features in this album feel forced and none of the beats are very memorable.
-
Sep 4, 2021Luck's energy And Like freestyle tracks And Drake's Lowest album Quality the Album is similar to a quick project not a masterpiece, for a album that took to long to release
-
May 18, 2022Is a mid album but a little repetive in the beats and too long (remove 2-3 song and the album is better) , CLB is overhated , very great tracks but lot of tracks is ****
-
Sep 4, 2021Drake just keeps coming out with the same boring never evolving albums to keep his fan base broad because all he cares about is money. I expected more from this album after all.
-
Sep 4, 2021Drake shoulda kept this trash, I could feel my ears bleed when he referred to himself as a lesbian
-
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 4, 2021pas de musique marquante, aucune prise ds risque, cover décevante. du gâchis vu le casting que présentais l’album. ou est l’ancien Drake?
-
Sep 4, 2021Yeah, we should all appreciate J. Cole much more. CLB doesn't have radio/playlist "hits", nor any substance. Why did he release the 3 songs earlier, those 3 good songs could have turned this from below average to average. Maybe they didn't fit into CLB's concept...CLB's concept being: boring/trash/pointless
-
Sep 4, 2021garbage like actual trash, dude has like 50 ghostwriters and still cant make a good album
-
Sep 4, 2021An absolutely soulless and lifeless new album by Drake sounds sonically similar to many past albums and adds nothing new of value to his discography. If you want a boring, generic, safe hip hop album then this is the one for you.

Sep 4, 2021it’s expensively well-produced, like all of Drake’s albums, and easily likable with a decent batting average for a nearly hour-and-a-half record." ... Read full review

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.

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.
