was surely also didnt help that it got released exactly in the same 2 weeks timespan where a lot of lockdowns in the world started and corona took over most of our attention.
The surprise album would have worked much better a month before tbh
you can rename them yourself, there are official track titles out there
Not going to change an artist’s work if that’s why they intended. I just really didn’t like the direction he took and I’m sure many people can at least agree to that.
The album will age well once the circumstances in which it dropped are forgotten - which they always are. The music is good, the overall message is good and it will eventually take on a different form to people who stumble upon it for the first time 5 years from now.
best album of last year and one of the best of the decade, would’ve got way more love if he released it following the hype of tia and fls and with a blockbuster rollout
Album was hot dog water s*** only f***ed with 2 songs and I’m a big bino fan bruh need to drop heat soon

but if titles would improve the experience why wouldnt you do it?
Really great album with some of his best songs ever like 53.49, 19.10, 12.38, 24.19. Still feel it’s better than Awaken My Love and the true followup to BTI musically. As a fan since 2011 i’m more than happy with it
I don’t think having a cover and titles would’ve made the reception much different either tbh, the type of music on it and the timing i think it would’ve came and went for regular listeners either way. 99.9% of people could give a f*** about AML outside of the singles anyway
Even if it had a better roll out it doesn't fix the music. He just needs to pick a theme or topic because that wasn't a social experiment he wax just being lazy. I hope he finds a good path fir his next album or else
There was a overarching spiritually empowering theme to it doe
also Saturday
My only disappointment on first listen was the fact this wasn’t on it. Ffs what a great song

I see where u going, judging what actually got popular on the radio in 2020 im not sure the material on this would’ve fared well still doe, I think with a cover titles and like a short film this would’ve gotten ATLEAST 3x the acclaim
Honestly what pissed me off way more than the fact that most tracks didn't have titles was that two random ones did have titles
Plus Feels Like Summer didn’t have its song title

I definitely agree on a short film or video for sure, i feel like clapping for the wrong reasons really set the stage for the whole BTI rollout and The Boy persona and all. This one just happened so fast and the ‘letter’ he put out with it might as well not exist
sounded better when the album played on a loop at like 2 am, ppl were so hype but it was only when we go no cover and no song titles that the hype died and the album just faded away
No, in 2020 people don’t listen to albums all the way through anymore except for first listen. That’s the reality. When the songs didn’t have titles it makes it hard to know which is which. This hurts replay value.
That’s what happened here. It was Gambino thinking he is more important that he actually is. It’s a shame because the album is great.
But I’m on my 50th WLR playthru.
Depends on how good the album is, and that’s always been the case.
Seeing a lot of projection about what gambino was “trying to do” instead of actual discussion about the music. Just listen to the songs bro, they sound heavenly
If he was trying to give y’all nothing but the music he would’ve just dropped it instead of tryna force hype with all them mysterious moves he was pullin
He wanted to be Frank and failed, and ion even fw Frank
f*** are you saying bruh, he literally just put it on his website
