Is it just me or this album actually sucks and is boring ?

Is it just me or this album actually sucks and is boring ?

Pls i don't have Sup Forumscore friends, so idk whether i have embarrassing taste or not

Half of it is great, half is shit.

I feel that way about every other project he's released. Chanel Orange and Ultra, Nostalgia are both pretty unoriginal and tame. Maybe I just went into Blonde with low expectaions, but I really love it a lot. It flows along perfectly and subtly, without having to depend on epic moments.

If youre an impatient fag that wants another channel orange youre not gonna be able to experience how good this album was

It's like Franks trying to be something he's not and he can't be.

>WHere muh bangerz at m8

Fuck off.

>nostalgia ultra unoriginal

Name one other artist whos made something like that? He went over coldplay and mgmt beats and somehow made it still sound like rnb but with and emphasis on actual songwriting ability.

Did you listen to any of his other work? Hes been experimental like this since the beginning

No man i just wish the melodies were better sounding. This album just sounds like random """artpop""" effort.

Yes but they all sound better with better melodies and hooks.

I really can't understand his appeal... I think it's just because he's gay and black and there aren't any other gay black hip hop people.

Really he's shitty and he probably gets turned on when someone farts

if you listened to it less than 3 times then keep listening if not then its not for you

This album is like THE melody album. This shows franks knack for melodies better than anything so far

What does being gay have to do with it? It's not like he's overly preachy about his sexuality or sings about it.

I didn't know he was black when i got really hooked at channel orange.

Lmao you have to be like 13

Yeah, the avantgarde-ish melodies. Which isn't really melody

It's grown a lot on me in the past week or so. Granted, I think some of the songs are boring filler and he could've cut it down 5-6 minutes but there are some really nice songs on here

I mean i didn't know he was gay, not black

>frank ocean
>experimental

I'm 28. I like mostly old school hip-hop like Wu Tang, Nas, Biggie, Mobb Deep.

The only R&B I've ever gotten down to is old-school Usher.

Frank Ocean is experimental trash.

Getting turned on by the smell of farts is something I heard a gay black kid say once, so now I think of that every time

It's alright, it's not that good, but it's not that bad

>usher
Gtfo of this board

Experimental within the realm of rnb, i dont mean the avant garde post ironic pre post past post organic noise crunk shit you listen to

Lmao if youre not a troll, you just showed your hand and played yourself man.

they aren't avant-garde at all you don't understand the meaning of that term. they're just melodies, sometimes intricate ones

You should listen to Aaliyah Age Aint Nuthin But A Number

It's ok.

pretty boring.
The aspects of songwriting aren't even focused
on what was expected of frank so it came
out kind a nude and blatant

I think there's just nothing really impressive about this album. The melodies and harmony aren't really impressive and 'wow' making. If it's not a banger, i'd expect it to be like Insignificance or Tortoise's Millions will now..... With lots of stuffs that gots me "wow that was genius"

Idk i feel bad that everyone likes this album but not me. I'll listen to it more.

there suuuper bright bright spots in there like pink + white, ivy, nikes, solo, godspeed, skyline to, white ferrari

but there are just way too fucking many shitty little skits and poorly structured songs in there (looking at facebook story, futura free and pretty sweet) which severely fuck with the flow of things

it has this horribly disjointed feel to it which of all things i would not have expected because channel orange had such a sense of cohesion

it's almost like he was influenced by the arbitrary/lack of theme feel to TLOP and tried to make it an aesthetic in itself, which, to me and apparently many of you, was not a success

this

a couple pretty good tracks
but a lot of shit ones
or ones with shit things keeping them from being a good track (pitch shift on nikes, shit hook on solo)

Shitest taste bro

suck my uncircumcised black cawk pham

like every single one of his songs is about sex...it shouldn't matter that he's gay but don't say that he doesn't rub it in everyone's faces

seven kay tee

we out here

Probably tylo be chillin

There's a consistent theme of the album as much as any "mucore" album.

Black Queen Cleopatra

>hip-hop
You have never heard of R&B before?

I really feel bad for people who can't listen to anything that doesn't have a trap beat

I dont understand the hate for the pitch shift, its like the intro to the track and the album and when Frank's vocals kick in properly the sing explodes.

would you explain this meme to me

>it shouldn't matter that he's gay but don't say that he doesn't rub it in everyone's faces

Are you fucking retarded? Almost all his songs are unisex. Thinking about you can be about a man or a woman. Almost all his songs don't make it blatant that he's in love with men.

Plus, straight artists rub their cock and pussy at our faces all the time

Keep listening to it and have a couple of listens to Endless as well if you havent. Songs may sound too familiar but after a couple of good listens you can pick out and appreciate each track so it isnt boring.

i dont hate the pitch shift but i think the song would be a lot better without it

TIL Frank Ocean is gay

I literally didn't know

My nigga rnb is literally sex music...
The only song on this album where Frank actually makes reference to being with a man is on "good guy" and its essential to the "story of the song" in fact he talks about tits and pussy way more on all his albums
>That's not even taking into account that he didn't officially come out until after channel Orange came out.

its tension and release m8

>makes u wait 4 years for album
>doesnt sing in own tamber until half way thru first song

the absolute madman hahaha

>>doesnt sing in own tamber until half way thru first song
did you mean camambert maybe??

i actually meant timbre but u rite

He's bi.

It's a really good album

:)

It's ok. I'm not really listening to the lyrics. it just seems to be too adhd for me

I feel bad about myself.

he also mentions it on Self Control. "I'll be the boyfriend, in your wet dreams tonight", means both people in that relationship have to be men.

gud album

pretty meh. Channel Orange was a bit better

ugh, girls have wet dreams too.

KUMBAYA SHIT

>songwriting ability


LMAO!!! he just fucking rip off two songs dude. That´s it.
Some fucking autotune over those instrumentals, copyright shit and then he´s good at "Songwriting.".
This board is cancer.

No, he come out. He admited he was full gay in the news.

Fuck this pitchfork meme of "4 years xD!!".
4 Years are fucking nothing , my bloody valentine or avalanches shit is worth memeeing but not frank ocean.

>girls
disgusting

Some people shouldn't be allowed to post here. Hope this is bait.

why listen to any soul/r&b that isn't stevie - songs in the key of life or whats going on?
the rest is shite

name 32 artists that come under that genre

kek

>pretty sweet
>bad
oi lad

same, super boring. weeknds a better r n b guy.

bait

kek

did you call me from a seance? you were from a past life
hope you're doing well, bruh

THIS

>nigger beats are boring
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

As someone who's never listened to any other of his projects, and had absolutely no expectations for this album. It was alright 7/10 Anthony gave it to much credit, tlop was better

He implies everywhere that he likes dudes more, and is not interested in women any longer.

It was shit. Endless is much better honestly.

>The only R&B I've ever gotten down to is old-school Usher.

Good shit.

>way too many shitty little skits

two skits...

two many

I listened to Nikes and it sounds like shit.

Wow! How would you like to be a music critic? I run a little website and i'd sure love for you to contribute your half baked moronic ideas on a plethora of topics. Listened to one song once? Doesn't matter! That's exactly the kind of in depth research that we pride ourselves on.

Good to see my opinion making people this angry. Doesn't take more than one listen to realise a chipmunk voice and a shitty simplistic beat sounds terrible

I just assume anybody that automatically hates pitch shifted vocals must never listen to any hip-hop or lots of things under the electronic umbrella

I don't automatically hate pitch shifted vocals. I just think the pitch shifted vocals on Nikes sound like shit

You just turned down the best job offer you will ever receive. Have fun with your terrible, impoverished life. Fuck you.

source?

lol

obvious bait

This album killed his career

How so, anonymous nobody?

>t. Frank Defense Force

dude i'm just asking calm down man
