This album is a serous disappointment on first listen. Maybe it'll hit me later but so far doesn't hold a candle to NU or CO

My fellow R&B heads how is this? Still haven't listened to the Endless shyt but I'm bout to listen to this rn. I fukk with Frank Ocean but I still haven't even listened to Channel Orange in full yet lol

@JACK! @Ns :jbhmm:
Nothing hitting me too hard so far, kinda underwhelming but he obviously went for something different so I'll give it a few more listens. Don't think I'll ever consider it as good as CO, that's the best project of the last five years imo.

I love when artists in a prominent position like this in such high demand make work with no signs of pandering for a pay cheque. No matter what you think of Frank or the album you can't tell me this dude does this for anything but the love

:scust:In what setting do you fakkit nikkas listen to this shyt?



I can imagine Y'all nikkas riding around bumping this fakkit shyt in your whips. nikkas all over looking at you like:scust:

I personally find Frank to be real overrated w/ struggle vocals (albeit still talented), but ok nikka we get it. You all over this thread.

i feel you but this is what im sayin
when 8o8's first dropped i listened to the shyt in my headphones at the crib, thought it was aight :manny: nothin serious, my opinion on it was pretty basic

then listened to it again when i was goin thru some shyt (almost a year later), the shyt hit me different and i understood the perspectives he was tryna convey, even the beats felt different, so my opinion of it became way more detailed and (hopefully) closer to what he was really tryna say on the album

frank shyt aint even been out a week yet, nikkas need to let it breathe a bit is all im sayin :yeshrug: if i was a writer you wouldn't see a review from me for atleast a few months
You would be writing in Bangladesh than

I kinda hate everybody. I can't even play this album without someone gossiping or talking shyt. I don't even know what I think of this because I can't listen to 10 seconds without someone's opinion. Seems like nobody is excited about the fact that an artist can be this big with an indie sound. People should celebrate or shut the fukk up.
Something about this post is super bytchy and has extra estrogen all over it... it's very sassy like you said this while popping bubble gum, snapping your fingers and rolling your eyes! You a flamboyant Fukk boi!

This is a headphones album. Definitely doesn't jump out on first listen like his debut.

I'm liking a few joints on here a lot, but the all the way thru I'm not sold on this album... Yet

Listened to it in the whip, headphones and at the gym :manny:

I'm just joking breh. I'm bout to go download this jawn myself. Just legit surprised ppl on here so hype for a rnb album. One by an openly gay man at that (considering the nature of this site)
