    Quite frankly, I will never understand the hype and praise behind 'Take Care'. It's just another album, plain and simple. Or really, another album with overproduction that is a cross between hip-hop/R&B (woo, how different and original) by an untalented hack who uses autotune to no end that calls himself an artist. Yeah, this is quite an album alright.

    Pathetic excuse for a record. I gave it multiple chances. The fact that THIS is what's at the apex of popularity tells us that society collectively has a terrible, unrefined taste in music.

    One of the most overrated album of all time, I don't how people can call this "music", a rapper that is more feminine than Nicki Minaj, the best word to describe this "albm" is trash, straight up.

    Most overrated album of all-time. It's not even rap, he makes pop and r&b music. Plus, all he does is cry and whine over his ex, he doesn't talk about anything interesting, his lyrics are very simple, he can't even tell a story.

    I wanted to write a great review about this album. I Purchased "Thank Me Later" and was not impressed. That is because the album contained Drake's version of singing. I'm not going to say that a person that is not really a singer (ie- Lil' Wayne) can't necessarily make a catchy singing track; however, for people to allow Drake to say he is a legitimate singer and to give him high ratingsI wanted to write a great review about this album.

I believe Drake is very talented as a rapper, but he should leave the singing to someone who can. All that said, even with the "singing" on the album (which even makes Rihanna sound weak), the album has achieved a deep monotone. All of the songs SOUND EXACTLY THE SAME. There is no reason for this with all of the great producers and beat makers out there. I have no problem with music about relationships and heartbreak, but the monotone turns this into mood music. And the 82 positives that he has received on Metacritic so far have to be die hard fans. I think a person who has never heard Drake and listens to this album will surely be disappointed and I sincerely hope that no one paid over $5 for this album. If you did, take it as a life experience and download this kind of crap on a singles basis only. Expand

    Are u Judging this as a Hiphop Album Or A R&B Album?

    Because as a Hiphop Album this is a disgrace to the genre 90 percent of the album is singing last time I checked Hiphop was rapping but even if You look at this as a R&B album its still trash No men should be able to listen to a album talking about saving strippers and hating on another men on top of that the features are horrible

    Considering Take Care is an affecting masterpiece easily on par with his debut, there could be no greater accolade for the genius of this man.

    He's tightened his flow ever so slightly, but the brutal artlessness of his writing and character remains. [Jan 2012, p.69]

    It's great at times, but far more work than it should be. [Jan 2012, p.127]
