my neighbors must hate this so much

I listened to the album again today. I still think it's Cole's best album and a masterpiece.

Everything from Cole's performance to the features to the production to the melodies......I feel like this is the follow-up to Forest Hills Drive that he had been trying to make for years, but he just couldn't get it right until 2021.

This shyt his magnum opus....IDK how you can top this tbh. Prolly 1 of the hardest albums I've heard tbh. On long drive I've let ran this whole thing back 2-3 times and it doesn't get stale

4 Your Eyez Only was a big disappointment for me in 2016-2017, but I'm open to going back to it. "Everybody Dies," "False Prophets," and "High for Hours" were getting played constantly, though.

I listened to The off season and it seemed mid to me too.

I do appreciate it; I still stand on what I said. Not the same level at all. Dope album tho

 

[CrimsonTider]

This album is just ok. Much better than the previous too

it is definitely not his best work

 

[murksiderock]

I'm gonna run back thru Cole's work over the coming week or so but off top this would be maybe his 5th greatest drop. It's not even close to his best work...

 

[HiiiPower]

Easily his best project not including mixtapes

 

[thaKEAF]

this shyt still goes hard. His best album to me over 2014 fhd.

 

[Left.A1]

I like KOD as his best work

 

[Izanami]

2 year anniversary runn it back. Still excellent but I still think The Jackie should’ve been in here.
