[FRESH] Frank Ocean - Blonde

BLOND- (an honest account of my thoughts as I listen for the first time)

{{NIKES}}- I want to cry. I don't know why but I feel his pain. Outstanding first track and video. The ending is exceptional, I threw my hands in the air from a burst of excitement which was somehow within a feeling of depression.

{{IVY}}- Jarring but in a tasteful or tasty way. I love how he transforms atmospheres within a song. Is he posing as IVY?

{{PINK AND WHITE}}- Good track. It might grow on me but not the top 5 of the album.

HE LOVES HIS MOTHER, and so do I.

((SOLO}}- Soulful, great feel and damn he is smooth. I hear youth here. Like seriously as this thing pics up I feel like i'm watching an entire choir but its just him. Powerful and gifted. Shows off range in many ways at this point in the album and most are going to be songs of the year.

{{SKYLINE TO}}- Do I need to say more. Instant contender for album of the decade. Dreamy like .,::":;,. holy fuck my ears just creamed at the end.

((SELF CONTROL}}- From the first verse I believe this is going to have to come along way if i'm going to like it. John Mayer on track? IDK A little better at half way. Another great example of that two in one but that first part was the weak point of the album. But his weak is everyone else's best.

{{GOOD GUY}}_ Short and sweet good shift in album, I think he has transitioned from writer and R&B/RAP artist to a trendsetter at the top of his game by this point.

{{NIGHTS}}- Women hurt him in a different way than men do. You can hear the tone and difference between the genders. I love how dark he is letting himself get. Jesus, this just transitioned and I thought it was a new song. We are getting what Kanye attempted. disjointed beauty.

{{SOLO (REPRISE)}} Oh MY FUCKING YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU FOREVER.

{{Pretty Sweet}}-- Precaution: Turn down the sound on your speaker. But Amazing sound and song. Beat will be playing on every DJ set for a year.

{{FACEBOOK STORY}}- Weird. want to know the story behind this.

The album definitely has the attention span of a younger than me generation. Not in a bad way just an observation. I feel like we are getting a lot of music and songs. Definitely deserved after like a 4 year wait and "mysterious" release.

{{White Ferrari}}- A much better acoustic song than {Self Control}.

{{Siegfried}}- Title.. Speckled face, we see the same types of people in the NIKE video. Maybe the likeness of a lover? I like where the song is going. I want to be who he is singing about to someone. Sexy.

{{God Speed}}- ....SOUL.... Im sad this is coming to an end. Rollercoaster.

{{Futura Free}}- He knows he is good. I hope he will remain modest and sane in the future.. Big head with a big dick I suppose, this song is hard AF.

Bonus track and recordings. anything is everything by this point.

TWO ALBUMS. TWO AMAZING VIDEO ART PIECES. Im in shock.

These two albums are instantly my favorite things on the planet and I will refuse to listen to anything else. I hope he disappears and just lives a free and crazy life. Take the money and walk away forever. You Just murdered it!! Somehow he beat the hype machine and define a generation.
