First listen.
I started back from the beginning.
I listen to "Starboy" with the lyrics pulled up.
I was thinking about how there was a lot of repetition and then realized that the album was an R&B album. This surprised me because the first track, "Starboy," led me to believe the album might have been a hip-hop album.
Oh, this is one of the songs on Just Dance Now ("I Feel It Coming").

4: "I Feel It Coming" (ft. Daft Punk);
3: "Starboy" (ft. Daft Punk);
2: "False Alarm"; "True Colors"; "Attention";
1: "Reminder"; "Rockin'"; "Secrets"; "A Lonely Night"; "All I Know" (ft. Future);
0: "Party Monster"; "Stargirl Interlude" (ft. Lana Del Rey); "Sidewalks" (ft. Kendrick Lamar); "Six Feet Under"; "Love to Lay"; "Ordinary Life"; "Nothing Without You"; "Die for You";

Summary:
Considering it's the first time I listened to most of these tracks, I liked the overall sound of the album. In fact, it feels like a 4.8, but I would have to listen to it again in order to determine whether that estimate is too high or too low.

Overall Rating: 4.8/5
Favorite Song: "I Feel It Coming" (ft. Daft Punk)
