Not sure I agree but I think KL is a bit more musically cohesive

Although the transitions and concept is more dialed in on Dawn FM

this is so different from trilogy, and i love that

Trilogy has been brought up several times in here. And all over social media lol

This is like if starboy was actually good tho (I say this as a starboy fan)

It's probably his best produced album. The transitions are also great but I care more about songs I can take with me than those things and he just didn't give me enough of those with this album.

Of course, I'll still give the album more listens to see if I missed anything.

oh no!!!!

Lmao

Stands for kendrick post-2017

Starboy and ambitious should never be used in the same sentence

literally if it wasn't for the title track and BL, After Hours would be a trashcan compared to this for me

that boy leveled up

I love OPN so probs biased towards dawn

That Jim outro track dark as s***

Don’t break my heart wtf

2011 abel would be so proud that he made some s*** like this

Not sure that the concept is tbh you could remove the radio interludes and the album would hit the same and arguably improve

A lot of you niggas just be talking.

MDM, After Hours & Dawn FM
This mans hitting his 2nd prime fr

Less Than Zero production

I thought it was kinda hopeful and hinting at some light and very cathartic

Oh for sure there at least 3/4 tracks on here that are fantastic. Just at the end of the day I think I'm going to enjoy After Hours more as a full body of work. But I do think Dawn is a more ambitious creative project...especially since the visual story is far from complete.

that's all I meant bro

the flow of echoes is also flawless

Me during Take My Breath beat switch

AH
Escape
Faith
Too Late
Until i bleed out
Hardest to love
Heartless

This is what he wanted kiss land to be done to perfection

During the livestream, when that song played, he looked sad as f***.
