    The album achieves something mischievously unguarded: a collection of blissful dance tunes constructed for embrace and abandon. Drake takes a leap further into uncharted realms than any of his peers, offering a refreshing sign of what’s to come.

    Honestly, Nevermind is a welcome development in the Drake saga, a left turn off what was starting to seem like an endless stretch of trap-heavy highway. The destination is still sad and self-involved, but at least the scenery is colorful and never boring.

    A small marvel of bodily exuberance — appealingly weightless, escapist and zealously free. An album of entrancing club music, it’s a pointed evolution toward a new era for one of music’s most influential stars. It is also a Drake album made up almost wholly of the parts of Drake albums that send hip-hop purists into conniptions.

    Honestly, Nevermind isn’t a bad album, but it is disappointing.

    Instead of taking a much-needed left turn and cranking it up to 11, he's settled for something safe — something too smooth, too worldly.

    It’s as if the goal of Honestly, Nevermind is anonymity—inoffensively, sort of fun music that simmers in the background all summer and beyond.

    Drake breaks no new ground here, and retreads the same tales of love and regret so many times that the songs bleed together. If you just want background music for making love, this is your album. If you want to have your imagination captured by fantastic tales or be taken on an emotional roller coaster, don’t bother. There are no highs or lows here. We’re on medium the whole time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A different sound than your typical Drake project. I feel that it could be better in a lot of ways, but is a nice listen once you’ve got the gist of it. Expand

But i was quite surprised to hear a house album. But soon i realised that every track sounded the same. Except for the last one they all sound like "Get it together" from "More Life". The Album is really boring and i'm not quite sure if CLB or this one was worse. The title sums up the album quite well. "Honestly, Nevermind" Expand

    I'm almost in disbelief at how bad this album is. His attempt on making House music might actually be the worst in history... and it alsoI'm almost in disbelief at how bad this album is.

Overdrive is the only decent song on this, and Jimmy Crooks is ok i guess. Expand
