2.5 average | dihstyle69 | April 28th 16 | after the leaked tracks prior to this ralbum's release, i was afraid that we were rgonna get take care part 2. in other rwords, those tracks made me feel like we rwere about to get some dope tracks in the rmiddle of straight bs. i was praying that rviews would prove me wrong. it didn't. rthis exactly what i was expecting it to rbe, probably even worse. most of this rtracks are skippable and not something you rwould go for if you're trying to improve, rto show progression. the first half is reasily the best, wavy and more personal, rand it defin has its good moments, despite rsome really cringy struggle bars. the rsecond half is terrible tho, embrassing rthe side of drake that will never be good. rthe title track is the only redeeming one, rprobably the best track off of this shit, rreminding me of the best moments off riyrtitl. considering the amount of time we rhad to wait for this shit to drop, this rshit didn't deliver all the goods. it's rworth a few spins but nothing more. 2.5+

1.5 very poor | P0laris | March 30th 17 | Drake's Views turns out to be his laziest, and worst effort to date. In general, this record is an absolute catastrophe. The only saving grace to prevent the dreaded "Awful" score, are the few decent tracks scattered about the record. Despite these decent tracks, it fails to bump up the score any further. Stay away from this, it's not worth your time.

2.0 poor | TheManMachine | May 31st 16 | A faceless female's commencing comment forecasts the constitution to come -- "It's a little chilly out there." And considering how promptly this sets sail into a near-bloodless grouse-fest, 'little' may have been an understatement. When "Fire & Desire" schlepps on through at the tail-end of this elephantine track-list, it's a kind of indicative corroboration that those are the two traits this album lacks the most. Well, those and magnitude moderation: how about accommodating an 80+minute slog with a flow+format that propitiously correlates? What happened to the vigorous bars-4-dayz from that year-gone scrawled-on mixtape? Why not propel the pulse provided by a bulk of the beats and a handful of highlights towards the rife-n-dull not-so-fortunates? But one thing hasn't changed -- blame the length or Drake's Drakiness existing in a particularly listless+bothersome state or both -- and that's guest-spots instantaneously contributing heroic relief by merely deviating from our star at hand, without much effort to boot: PartyNextDoor accomplishes it (again) by simply emoting, Future kills it while reiterating the same chuckly line four times in a row. If it interrupts poutingly rattling off yet another surfeit of women and their chosen life-paths instead of settling down with the boy, I say do it up.

2.0 poor | FlipTrackz | May 12th 16 | Drake's most drab, poorly produced, overstuffed, repetitive album of his entire career. An absolute bore to listen with only a select few tracks actually worth your time.

2.5 average | Hurricanslash | May 1st 16 | Everything on here, Drake has done better and more interesting before. Add a creepy victim-complex, borderline disturbing insights into Drakes mind and some of the most stale production he ever hopped on, and yeah, this is the definition of a filler album. It's very cohesive, true, but also the most tired Drake project I have heard until now. Yeah, I'll skip this one.

2.5 average | JuriHan | October 13th 23 | Some of Drake's worst bars are on this and most shameless attempts to stream troll emerging and trendy genre's at the time. But, with all that said, despite the cheesiness- the songs where he's rapping here and even a few of the more sing-songey ones are charming and listenable.. If this was 5-10 tracks shorter It could've been rated way higher but at the end of the day this is mostly shameless.

2.0 poor | Erwann S. STAFF | October 9th 19 | Slightly better than Scorpion, but Views remains an album that suffers from being too long and full of shitty tracks - classic Drake.

2.5 average | Nathaniel | November 8th 17 | the only good songs on here are feel no ways and hotline bling. and they are 3/5 songs at best.

3.0 good | Alabaster Jones | October 27th 16 | Drake, at least for me, has one of the more inconsistent discographies in hip-hop. Thank Me Later had some amazing highs, but fluctuated in quality. Take Care was an excellent and consistent record all-around, while its follow-up Nothing Was The Same was more shoddy. If You're Reading This, It's Too Late was a great tape, and remained at a high quality throughout its runtime. Which leads us to Views, which is a bit of an enigma. It's wildly inconsistent, having some great tracks and some downright cringeworthy ones. Lyrically, it's somewhat of a retread, only instead of looking forward into future success, it looks back at the past accomplishments. Sonically, however, it's not a retread at all, in fact inching closer and closer to a sound more or less Drake's own, giving hints of a vision that is yet to be realized. There are some missteps, obviously, but it's far from complacent or stagnant. If anything, it's a necessary step towards something even greater for Drake, which, if the pattern follows, should be his very next release.

3.0 good | Daryl the Beryl | July 24th 16 | Views is a decent album, and Drake once again shows that he can both rap and sing well, but the album is overlong.

4.0 excellent | 00mee | May 19th 16 | An argument could be made that Views is simply retreading old ideas, and it'd be hard not to - after all Drake is an extremely prolific artist. But Views to me seems more along the lines of muscling out his niche sound, and at over 80 minutes it's kinda of impressive how it does so. Here Drake extends and even liberates the throes of his sound - his embarrassing self-abasement, faux-braggadocio and notoriety for really poor lines. Does Drake really have anything important to say? Probably not. But the magnetism of celebrity successfully pervades this record so much that, along with those gorgeous beats, its too fascinating not to listen.

3.0 good | RammaJamma | May 1st 16 | When Drake stays in his lane, its great. The minute Drake oversteps his boundaries, its awful.
