Some of these tracks remind me of A Moon Shaped Pool. But not as good.

Whilst I do prefer Pink Moon and Bryter Layter, I find it strange seeing someone refer to an album as perfect as this as his "worst album" - he just has slightly differing levels of stunning.

yeah, was a bit harsh for sure

i'm not a massive fan of anything by him, so i guess that's where we differ on this

i'd give it like a 75-80

Obviously the relative sparseness of his output works in his favour (strictly in terms of legacy, and in particular the point I'm about to make, of course), but I honestly can't think of an artist with a more flawless discography.

This used to be my favourite Drake album, but Pink Moon surpassed it.

River Man is still his best song imo.

I prefer the sparsity of Pink Moon, but the lyrics on here are nearly as good.
