Drake’s third studio album, Nothing Was the Same, scheduled to hit stores September 24 leaked via Twitter on Sept. 15, and the album had surely lived up to its anticipation. The album features 13 tracks, including his latest singles “Started From the Bottom,” “Too Much” featuring Sampha, “All Me” featuring 2 Chainz and Big Sean, and “Hold On, We’re Going Home.” Other tracks include the highly anticipated Jay Z feat 'Pound Cake/Morton Music 2'. Here are what reviewers say of the album.
National Post
The album doesn’t really do anything to disappoint, but seems to suggest that 40 did a bit more mind-expanding than Drake did. If Take Care was Drake really embracing that sensitive soul side — and opening up space for a heft of rappers to follow him on in — Nothing Was the Same is Drake presiding over the most pensive party hip-hop has had, making sure all the cups are filled and everyone has a mirror to look deeply into.
There’s no doubt in my mind that Nothing Was the Same will be nominated for best rap album of the year — and it’s totally deserved. If I can listen to an entire album without skipping a beat — or a song — that’s one hell of an album!
The way to listen to Drake’s album is to fight with your significant other, who you just flew a couple thousand miles and some change to go see, then wait until she’s asleep, and then probe Twitter looking for people who might be feeling something similar while the music's playing.

The intensely detailed storytelling of Drake's Take Care album has quickly elevated him to the Premier League of the rap game since its release in late 2011. As such, he hasn't messed around too much with its winning formula for his third opus Nothing Was The Same, which once again finds Drake delving into the past and searching for ways to cope with his superstar status.

Drake's 'NWTS' is the best album of his career. Nothing Was the Same is the kind of album will solidify Drake's status among the rap industry's elite. Hip-hop purists and alternative music press will surely disagree, but this album is one of the best hip-hop/R&B releases of the year.
