Yeah, well, it has an absurdly high revue average in iTunes. But scrolling through the reviews I found that many of the 5-star ratings were submitted multiple times by the same people/person. Probably Drake.
Also, Spin's all over his dick, and so is pitchfork. Inexplicably. The only really crappy review I found in SPIN's impulsive reviews was by Sheldon Pearce, who freelances with Pitchfork. But if anyone other than him does the album review, it's going to be a "Best New Album," easily.
P-fork even did a feature the night it dropped titled "5 things you need to know" before it even went on sale. It's like they already knew they were going to hype the shit out of it, which is troubling. Not even Kanye or Radiohead get that kind of hype from Pitchfork. I feel like there must be some kind of behind the scenes Palm-greasing going on between media outlets to make this album seem good, when really it's incredible mediocre. I've heard it now, and I don't even believe that it could appeal to anyone with any kind of ear for sophisticated music. Not with artists like Kendrick out there, raising the bar both lyrically and thematically for all hip-hop. It just doesn't make sense. The album sounds like a very basic Drake record. It's like Take Care on Ambien. Too much singing, not enough rapping, and just more of the same lyrical content.
How in the world could this thing have 10,000 5-star iTunes reviews? How could it have possibly outsold Lemonade... IN A DAY? What the fuck is going on?!
It's not the worst thing I've ever heard, but you'd have to be an idiot to think it's great. Seriously. It's so goddamn boring!
The only thing Pitchfork said that isn't absolute praise a guy whose career they once wrote a Fucking EULOGY for (after the free throw incident, and the lint roller thing) was at the very end, saying "Drake appears to be
following Kanye's lead with the album-by-committee approach.
If I know Drake (which I don't, but I can guarantee he's a tool) that last sentence is going to stick in his asshole like a tampon soaked in grain alcohol, making him drunk with irritation and immune to any praise that might be heaped upon him.
Taking Kanye and Jay off of VIEWS revealed way more about Drake's personality than anything he's done before, and he's a fucking child with little brother syndrome.
The world will look back on him and laugh. How could they not? Just look at his face! And his face has only grown more punchable in the 10 years that it's been in the public eye. I want to END it with my fists!!!
