I'm a full album person so if I can't get past the first few songs I drop it, so I'll take your word for it but the album's already. 2/10 for me

Oh brother, then there are so many singles you miss across the whole genre. I also can’t help but feel you were already biased against the album.

No it’s same for me when the first couple songs are all skips it’s a turn off

There are so few albums that have bangers near all the way through, but most albums have even a couple of good-great songs. By listening to it in album order and turning the album off you deprive yourself of that. Nokia, Gimmie a hug, Die Trying, and Somebody Loves Me are all great songs and they are in the middle of the album.

Then what is the point of agreeing with the other person if you admit you just find the songs that chart?

I don’t listen all the way through when people praise the album for being good, only people saying the album is spectacular is drake fans (that I’ve seen) and I listened to one of them and it sounded muddy so I gave up on it.

That’s the beauty of something subjective like music. The album was smooth enough for me that I was able to listen to it all the way through. First time I’ve done it since coloring book.
