>mfw people hate on pretty sweet

I have nothing to contribute yet but I fully agree with your statement so I give it a bump.

I really didn't get this album on first listen and haven't listened since. Huge fan of Channel Orange and I do think he is a genius.

I only listen to Nikes and Nights from the album. Idk if I just need to give it another spin or what to really "get" its genius but I just wasn't feeling the pacing OR the vibe. 3 songs in felt like a long ass time to me.

If I loved this album what other ones should I check out?

actually since I have already forgotten how this album sounds for the most part, I'm gonna go ahead and re listen to it now and update the thread with my opinion, which is going to be pretty fresh except for nikes and nights, which I listen to frequently.

It's a slow album but it has it's beautiful moments

1. Nikes

wow, just wow. This songs never gets old. It just has such an ethereal feel coupled with the pounding drum break. Frank using a high pitch modulator, this sounds like heaven to me. Like I'm kneeling at an alter praying.

thanks senpai. I'm currently giving the album a second chance bc I like frank a lot. I'm gonna update my opinions on songs itt.

I'm gonna give you my story with Blonde maybe it inspires you to give it another chance. First listen day of release I was very underwhelmed, probably would of rated it a 7. Two listens later I was very intrigued and would have given it an 8. End of the year it was straight 10 and AOTY. Now I'd straight up say it's the best album of the decade. It's the definition of a grower. The critical scores reflect that as well, think the album was rated 4/5, 8/10 in general when it came out, but it ended up on top of all album of the year lists, despite many albums getting better initial reviews.
Listen to it again, pay attention to the details in the production, the details in the lyrics, the overall atmosphere. Frank has the rare ability of saying A LOT with very few words. Keep in mind that Frank spent almost 4 years on this, every detail that you hear is intentional and thought over, in terms of sound, placement, and emotional impact. Keep that in mind when you listen and you might get more out of it. But be prepared for multiple listens, each more rewarding than the last. I've listened to this regularly since it came out and it hasn't stopped getting better. Nikes and Nights are both great songs, but they are definitely the most accessible.
