Okay, finally was able to listen to it fully. I liked the first half better than the second half. It was really good, but nothing with as much "punch" as Novacane or Pyramids. I plan on relistening tonight.

why aren't y'all talking about that track!???!

underrated already, interesting track.

2nd listen. Only White Ferrari is slaying me so far.

Something I noticed. This is most definitely an album you have to listen to with headphones on. So you can catch all the slight sound effects that actually gives a lot of the tracks this magical experience. It's not really an album you play out loud in my opinion unless you have quality speakers. But even still I think they're two totally different experiences.

It sounds great driving too.

I'm half way through and I like everything, delete 'Be Yourself' tho. Solo (Reprise), Nikes and Pink + White are instant faves

the same.. I found it outright weird and strange at first; It wasn't until my 8th "real" listen to forget everything I knew and expected from Frank and just immerse myself in his world..That's when the haze became clearer and I started shedding the layers of the songs themes, structures and intent..It was then that I realized that songs like White Ferrari, Nights, Self Control, Good Guy and Godspeed..drags CO by its teeth..the maturity, the vocals, the depth..just keep listening

Ivy's vocals are literally gorgeous. I think it's my favorite track on the record

yup.

I wonder if 'Be Yourself' is making fun of the lady or if it's trying to tell you to actually do your own thing? Not sure if it's satire or not, and I'm usually good at detecting that

No he's showing that everything his mom told him not to do, he's doing like drinking, smoking and driving recklessly.

I love how his mom is genuinely concerned about his well being and not him being bisexual. Most black families, when you come out, that's all they see until you die

It's been growing on me daily. Love the "Mothers of Earth be kind to the fathers on whom we rely" part!

[Shakira Stan]

Nikes, Ivy and Pink + White are bae. I wish Be Yourself was an actual song, the instrumental is EVERYTHING.

[NewRihannaStan]

The 1,2,3 punch that is Nike, Ivy, and Pink+White then the 1,2 knockout of Good Guy into Nights

[Shakira Stan]

Literally me listening to Nikes:

[liammmmacbtw]

"Futura Free" low-key is a bangerrrrrrr
