Being not as good as Channel Orange is not a bad thing...

Im a lyrics guy.. I like the fact I have to google most his lyrics and analyze them..

Yeah, this album doesnt isnt as dope as the first, but it gives me some great moments.. Im not rating it until I can really listen for a few weeks..

Besides, how many albums since CO has been as good?

I think the only thing this is missing is a Pyramids type banger but it's cool. Overall I think it's just as enjoyable. This and endless were worth the 4 year wait. Artist should take notes, take time, perfect your music, give us something we can keep listening to for years.

If he added UNITY and Rushes to to this it would have been perfect.

Gonna give it my fourth listen right now.
So far I think Solo and Nike are astounding tracks.

It's funny how we just assume 3000 is talking about Drake. But that's how a groupthink works, so... c'est la vie! :manny:

'Pink + White' sounds so early 00s Neptunes-esque. It's real beautiful. The song definitely wouldn't sound out of place on the In Search Of album.

Like To Pimp A Butterfly, I know I'm going to be listening to this album years down the line. Frank and Kendrick are so ahead of their peers in their respective genres that it's somewhat embarrassing. The two of them remind me of D'Angelo and Andre 3000 in the 90s/early 00s.
