Waaay overdone. It has strings and horns for no apparent reason and a ton of unmemorable songs. Pink Moon is so much better.

That's like saying a guitarist played an arpeggio for no apparent reason. It was done because they decided that it sounded good.

But it doesn't sound good. Drake is at his best when its just his voice with minimal accompaniment, that's when his music has the most emotional impact. All this orchestral bull**** just distracts from that.

I don`t think the strings & horns did anything to detract from his voice.
In fact I thought they complimented it.


Controversial opinions?

Hmmm ok

All punk pop over the past 15 years is hundreds of bands playing the same song over & over again .... no exceptions.

He`d retired from music after his last album came out anyway.

He would have been like a Syd Barrett figure if he hadn`t have died.

*nods head furiously*


also, Shoegaze is without a doubt the STUPIDEST genre name ever. And yes, I'm including everything I listen to.

Yeah but c'mon, at least theres some music related words in math rock, such as "rock", and possibly even "math".

Shoegaze sounds like a movie, or some metro sexual fashion style.
