    This is Frank Ocean's magnum opus and the decade's magnum opus of songwriting. The way Frank paints vivid yet elusive pictures through lyrics and melody puts you right where Frank was himself when he wrote them. I swear this s*** is like a psychedelic simp opera.

    Personal highlights:

    • Self Control: arguably the highest point of the album that builds up from calm and romantic to epic melancholy
    • Pink+White's use of specific imagery related to the senses to create a flowery and peaceful atmosphere
    • Nikes: you get a good sense of Frank's heartbreak and a raw account of his love affair with the subject of his affection throughout the song -
      "It's only awkward if you're f***ing him too", "I may be younger but I'll look after you"..."I'm not him but I'll mean something to you"
    • songs like Nights where Frank often uses seemingly random and nonsensical thoughts to create a unified experience that makes sense regardless and puts you in the driver's seat

    A true 10/10 classic, the greatest display of songwriting skill of any mainstream album this decade, only rivaled by Lorde, Kendrick Lamar and Drake at their most clever (that's right I said the big bad "generic" guy's name). Shoutout to one of the voices of this generation...Frank Ocean.

    Baby's first non-rap album

    doesn't detract from how great it is

    if anything it only makes it better considering how easy the listening experience is while also being as deep it is past the surface
