xps well you can make exactly the same case that it's just generational that ilm doesn't like tlop and ksg so if you want the frank sceptics to engage you should probably at least try to sell people on his merits rather than complaining about a generational divide

channel orange is >>> to me but it's also a top 5 record of the 2010s for me easy
i haven't put blonde on for a while... it's kind of a morose record, largely about isolation and disaffection... it's kind of a whole thing to put it on for me. i guess channel orange is about those things too but it has that sun dappled california feel and character driven songs so it's easier to just put on

xpost jord that was it for me, like blonde seemed like a deeper record but I don't really want to be in that headspace compared to orange

loved ocean's prior work but blonde, even after multiple listens, is just a nonstarter for me.

Looks like no one really said anything about "DHL" when it was posted upthread, but the second half of that track is incredibly addictive, my favorite thing he's done in rap mode. Really seemed like a new album was coming soon coming soon, don't know what happened

Iām 50 and I still adore Blond, it was a very important record to me at the time, flaws and all. So impatient for the next one, which I thought was about to drop at the start of 2020.

frank ocean is the most overrated and overvalued pop singer in a long time.
and he's still able to manage at least two or three songs every album that are complete smashes. so idk.

you'd be mad to pull frank to bits. what is to criticize? coolest contemporary voice in music. his vocal alone is enough to warrant status. blonde, i can't think of a better full length from the last decade that's so of its time...

i mean cool, opinions, good, i wanna hear you tell me what's bad about it. it's deliberately fragmented, confused, emotional, delicate. aloof... it's a fine self-portrait. feels like an elliott smith record to me or something - i'd say that without the sample in there, too

The bloodline to singer-songwriter stuff is exactly what puts me off, actually, so otm.
