    Great album with good replay value. Only problem is that there is too much filler but other than thats its very chill with good vibes.

    i love this album. people just love to hate on something they think is different and that’s sad in today’s and age. the weeknd didn’t sign him for no reason. he was hesitant to show his face for this exact reason.

    NAV puts out a project that is much too long with nearly every song sounding the same.

    This NAV album is NOT GOOD. Nav's music is so devoid of interesting characteristics that it's shocking.

    All NAV cares about is becoming famous, and it is very apparent on this album. It is NAV's obsession, all he raps about. He only raps about women, drugs, money, etc. Extremely boring and basic. No song sounds different. Not only are the lyrics awful, the production sucks, producing some of the most generic beats out there. Not only does the production sound bad, NAV's voice is terrible.All NAV cares about is becoming famous, and it is very apparent on this album. It is NAV's obsession, all he raps about.

His nasally, air fulled voice does not and never will sound good rapping. The album was so terrible it took 3 separate listening sessions to get through, and it is time I wish I could get back. This album is a complete waste of time.… Expand

    This album is ok. The issue with it is how every single song sounds exactly the same with the same flows and very similar melodies, not even mentioning the lyrics. His lyrics are either about drugs, the Rex, or f**king girls, with some combination of the 3. Critics are not wrong when they say NAV is the blandest rapper to ever live, but the album is fun to listen to if you don't thinkThis album is ok.

Critics are not wrong when they say NAV is the blandest rapper to ever live, but the album is fun to listen to if you don't think about the lyrics and just listen to the melodies. Songs like "Tap", "Dior Runners", and "Why You Crying Mama" make a listen bearable. This album would be good to throw on a playlist and shuffle. Overall, 6/10.… Expand

    At its best, its songs are serviceable bangers to nod off in the club to; at its worst, it’s a collection of strange admissions that, thanks to Nav’s affinity for taking himself too seriously, come off cringe-worthy.

    Guest spots by Young Thug and the Weeknd inject some much-needed personality into Bad Habits, but it's not enough to save the album from its own blandness.

    It isn't inherently bad, but it isn't great either.
