I really get what you're saying, Lewis. As Sniper said, the "channel-surfing" aspect of this album works so well for me, because it feels like a collection of snapshots from Ocean's life.
what? no. it speaks to either an inability to stretch these ideas to something fruitful which i don't believe because again pyramids, or that mr ocean is still unsure of what he wants to be recognized as, sound like and be remembered as when the records done.
In other words:
what? well i feel differently and i have different feelings and i can't quite fathom your feelings because i have mine and this is a rant and

i agree with most of what you said but just that one statement was extremely contradictory. i get what you were trying to say tho but i think it has more to do with Frank being in touch with a sense of artistic restraint. the songs aren't fleshed out in a formal manner because its appropriate to his conceptualization of the project, whether or not i personally find it successful as a whole, the intentionality of this gesture is what i think makes it generally accepted as such a success.
In an alternate universe, SilentPotato would always leave awesome comments like these. Damn, dude.

Album has moments of utter genius(bad religion, pyramids and lost). But lacks consistency overall. Review is fine, although rating is to high imo, liked the personal touch, although it was mayyybe a little short.

i think he was definitely going for the "all over the place" vibe. i just don't know if it is actually a good idea. my personal preference would be to have one coherent piece of music, but oh well. i still think this is really good even if some songs are underwhelming

Thanks for the compliment, Ed.
I see this album as a tour through Frank Ocean's life-- you have the main destinations "Pyramids," "Bad Religion," "Sweet Life," you've got the necessary stops at shady gas stations "White," and you also wish the great moments could last longer "Lost," "Crack Rock."
I definitely think he could've fleshed out some of the best ideas here, like "Super Rich Kids," but I can definitely say I wouldn't appreciate them as much. I dig it because it's unanticipated.

Crack Rock's actually my favorite off this. Every single sound on that track is just so on-point and satisfying.
For me there's about 5 good/great songs and the rest are just wacky ideas that, while entertaining at a few points, don't quite work.
But the good stuff makes it a must-listen. I think it's a 3.7 or 3.8.

Which ideas are you not fond of, Bander? My least favorite here is Forrest Gump, to be honest.
