It didn't grow on me at all It's the first time I actually dislike a full album by him. When everyone was dragging CLB back in 2021 I was here getting my life to it (and I still love it nowadays) but this album is simply not clicking with me...
LastGreatBloodline Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 I've given the album a other chance and liked a few songs - First person shooter - IDGAF - What Would Pluto Do - 8am in Charlotte - Rich Baby Daddy 2

It's okay if nothing is hitting for you. The album is definitely a grower and it's something you certainly have to give time to. Maybe give it another go in a few days and see how you feel about it.

My current top 5 is 7969 Santa Drew A Picasso Members Only Bahamas Promise Away From Home. 8am type songs are always highlights and Amen feels like an interlude to me so I won’t put it in my top 5. You? Never say never 😉 After not liking the first couple songs on my first few listens, I'm now enjoying the whole thing. I think it's clear that it was originally intended to be an R&B album. Tried Our Best leaked months ago and the R&B cuts are the best songs/ the songs with the BARK radio bits. I think after making the bulk of the album, Drake went on tour and concluded that he needed to add some more songs to the album and that's what prompted the delays. I'm not mad at anything on it tbh. I think the best run on the album is from track 8-23. Outside of that, Amen/First Person Shooter are also standouts. I haven't stopped playing the album since it dropped and I'm getting fond of more songs each time.

These are easily some of the best songs on the album. 1

slw84 Posted October 11, 2023 Posted October 11, 2023 I hope the J cole feature hits #1 next week and then IDGAF at some point.

Green Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 Wait so he could get a 3rd #1 from this album next week?

McNulty Posted October 12, 2023 Posted October 12, 2023 After re-listening, it's still mid but Fear of Heights, Daylight, FPS playing back-to-back was the highlight of the album
Draper. Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 Rich Baby Daddy is up to #2 on AM US, #1 on Shazam. 4
D.Va Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 He is such a ******* clown for changing and downgrading the instrumental of IDGAF, I know he is seething that Yeat ate him up and everyone was clowning the "money for fun" part.

The audio engineers are the ones who fixed the mix for the entire album and improved the audio quality for all the songs, not just IDGAF. Drake had absolutely nothing to do with that.

They mixed all the songs on the album and the entire album sounds better. Maybe you're just used to the older mix but either way, Drake had no hand in that. It's simply being done now because the album had to be released in time and he was recording till the last minute and so the songs couldn't be mixed to perfection back then.
