Funny you say this, cause he's a fan. Saw this image, from the magazine thing that came with the album, on the death grips subreddit. Think it lists his favourite albums or something.

sergeantk Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I've listened to it maybe 5 times already. Probably my album of the year. Good job, Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hma Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Really wanted to like it, been listening for two days almost non-stop. Channel orange had a lot of great tracks, but this is pretty bland, almost no distinct melodies, very similar tempos, voice mostly just following chords, good production but that`s about it...maybe it`s mostly about lyrics but I almost never cared about them when I`m listening to music. So..meh. 5/channel orange for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Lot of friends who are way more into R&B and hip-hop have been raving about this a lot, I haven't really followed but apparently there was some live video stream and a bunch of other promo stuff. I like the guy but I never got into Channel Orange besides the enjoyable but not mind-blowing singles I heard but never really gave it a chance either. I get the impression this is more experimental. Since some of y'all like it I'll have to get around to listening to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidrodi Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I thought I'd give this a try since I really liked that Kelela EP but I guess I'm not that into R&B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I think modern day RnB is something I try very hard to steer clear of, (I think 10 years ago I would of written something much much stronger than that!) But I'm a bit more mellow and nowadays much less tribal in my loves and hates. Anyway I do quite like the atmosphere of some of Mr Oceans tunes. When they come on the radio I dig 'em. Makes me feel like I've just gone through a wormhole and have ended up in some nice bar in Los Angeles and a lush Martini's on its way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganus Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I didn't really like this album that much on first listen, I didnt really get it, but I keep coming back to it this week. There is some pretty amazing songwriting and music on this album, I think it's better than Channel Orange, although that definitely wasn't my first impression. Solo and solo pt 2, Nights, and Skyline To are my favorites. Second half of Nights gives me chills every time, I have had that track on repeat.
