WHAT I THINK...
boy does this guy deliver. before i get into channel orange, i have to admit i didn't listen to ALL of nostalgia, ultra until i had channel orange in my hands.
i was obsessed with "we all try", i loved "love crimes", and "swim good" and "novacane" had radio play so of course i heard them. after hearing the whole mixtape tho, i was more excited to switch CDs and play channel orange...
1st run thru, "lost" was my absolute favorite. it took 3, 4, or 7 plays all the way thru for me to find something i wasn't exactly fond of... and that would be "pink matter". it upsets me, cuz boy do i love me some 3 stacks, but i just can't with that song.
back to the songs i DO like tho, the more i listened to the album leading up to his show at terminal 5, the more favorites i found. even the interludes are dope as sheeeeeet.
"sweet life", "crack rock", and "bad religion" tend to be on repeat when my computer is on, and "pyramids" became a favorite after i saw him perform it live.
the lyrical content and production is phenomenal. frank ocean just knows how to tell a story... this is an artist.
PLEASE buy a physical copy of this and listen. grab a glass of your favorite poison, throw some headphones on, and relaxxxxx. i don't see how you could be dissapointed.
