In the span of just a few years, Canadian rapper NAV released project after project of his atmospheric mainstream trap, taking over the charts as he went. Good Intentions is his third studio LP in as many years, following 2019's Bad Habits by about 14 months. This newest volume continues with the same attributes NAV has presented repeatedly throughout his discography with little in the way of progress or variation. There's wooden rhyming about drugs, sex, cars, and fame, all delivered with the same dull, monotonous flows that were already wearing thin on the last album. Good Intentions is redeemed slightly by its incrementally improved production choices and impressive list of guest artists. The strongest songs on the lengthy album are those when NAV's juvenile lyrics and generic performances are enlivened by more talented artists dropping in to collaborate. "Turks" includes verses from Gunna and Travis Scott, both approaching the song from interesting angles and breathing life into it. Young Thug contributes to several songs, and other highlights include appearances from Lil Durk, Future and Pop Smoke. The instrumentals for songs like "No Ice" and "Brown Boy" break NAV out of his tired formula considerably, offering a respite from the sometimes-identical-sounding track list. Ultimately, Good Intentions is another tedious and personality-free NAV album, but the faint hints of development and help from better artists help make up for it.
