Of course, you choose the mediocre lyrics. Care to list the standout ones, as well. I can, if you won't.

I hesitate to refer to Views as a narrative, but I guess I'll humor the army of mindless convoluted zombies that make up Drake fans. First off, I am not here to just scream; "GHOST WRITERS" and then leave, regardless of whoever wrote this painfully long display of over-produced mediocrity, I will be demonstrating willful ignorance and looking the other way. The production on Views is not good. There is no other way to put it. Sure it has it's moments, the first six seconds when the horns come in on "Keep The Family Close" is sincere (not MIDI), and frankly beautiful... But those six seconds don't excuse the rest of this near hour and a half record sounding like a cross between a bad hangover and 72 hours without sleeping. Now onto the part you actually care about. Drake flat out fails to tell any story worth hearing, and in some cases a story at all. The vast majority of the tracks on this album are hollow, over-produced, lifeless sound files that refuse to stop their pointless, incessant droning. I refuse to listen to a confused and astonishingly dull album for a few "standout lines" that in no way enhance the experience. To answer your question, knock yourself out. I just don't care.
