I love this album way more than channel orange. Way more cohesive, way better song writing, way better production, way better vocals

If you only listen to hip hop/r&b/pop this is gonna be a hard album to digest.
I'm just tryna figure out the meanings and theme behind each song. That's the fun/hard part.

I feel like the themes and meanings were more straightforward on CO.

I'm a frank ocean fan and I really been looking forward to this album but nearly all of these tracks feel like they are missing something. The only song I can really vibe to on this album is Pink+White (Nights is cool too). The rest is lacking in the actual instrumentals, like a lack of bass or something. I guess I set myself up for failure expecting another nostalgia ultra or channel orange.

Best songs are

Ivy

Pink + White (cause everyone's saying it)

Self Control :wow:

Nights (will probably be a hit radio single)

Close to you

Seigfried (probably the most slept on overlooked right now kinda like lost was on channel orange)

That song with Kim Burrell singing seems pretty good as well :manny:

That said, I have no idea what this album is supposed to be about and the meaning behind most song if there's any meaning at all other than just half random gibberish stream of though talk/sing/rap about franks life.

His other albums every song had atleast a theme, concept or topic you could follow. It was just better structured and executed like music should be
