Pitchfork wrote: “Spanning an obnoxious 82 minutes, the record goes through several musical and thematic phases, but the overall atmosphere is bitter, petty, worn-down. It confuses loyalty and stagnation, wallowing in a sound that is starting to show its limits.”
The Independent said: “It’s not completely without merit–some of the backing tracks have a mesmerisingly entropic grip, as well they might, with 14 writer/producers involved in a single track–but the overall effect is utterly wearying, and unpersuasive: after all, only fools waste pity on the wealthy.”
Clash added: “At 20 tracks, Aubrey for the most part provides a rather overweight and lethargic waltz through his musical comfort zone.”
6. Honestly, Nevermind (2022)
Metascore: 73
Variety wrote: “As a standalone Drake album, it’s deeply refreshing, and a dose of vibrant pop likely to reverberate through the remainder of the summer.”
Clash said: “A puzzle that will take a long time to fully unlock, ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ stands on these immediate listens as Drake’s most daring gesture, a devastating about-turn that will fascinate and frustrate in equal measure.”
Consequence added: “Honestly, Nevermind isn’t a bad album, but it is disappointing.”
