@Sowing: When it's so different to Channel Orange I can see not digging this, but calling this 'basic' by comparison to it is a disservice. It can be far more stripped back but the more you listen the more you pick up on little details and hooks that keep this infinitely replayable.

it's my numero uno of the decade, there's just something transcendent about the whole album and the cult following that took place immediately afterwards

Certainly an entirely different beast than Channel Orange. But I agree with Sowing that CO is stronger despite having a different feel.



CO was made for those who like retro music, Blonde was made for those who like futuristic music.

Blonde is the farthest thing from what I would describe as futuristic music, it's mostly a bag of cliches that pans out a few times

CO is a good pop record, this is a different beast entirely - it's two different artists to me. some will def dig CO more though and there is nothing wrong with that

I like Endless but this album has so much more to chew on in terms of lyrical/musical depth and the songwriting is worse too in my opinion.

“endless > this > CO agreed”

.... nah. Endless was a red herring.

“I like Endless but this album has so much more to chew on in terms of lyrical/musical depth and the songwriting is worse too in my opinion.”

.... yah.

I will say his cover of “At Your Best (You Are Love)” with Johnny Greenwood is the best thing to come out of the blonde era.

"CO proved the man could follow the rules to perfection, and Blonde proved he didn't need them for perfection"
