wow - i'd heard about frank ocean from other people, but never looked into him. i was aware that this was an acclaimed album, but i didn't expect to like it so much. beautiful and melodic, and really unique to my ears. i loved it! also, some of these reviews are breathtakingly racist. i'm talking to you, second-most-upvoted review. *this* is the downfall of society? really? this gentle, mournful r&b album? get your head out of your ass, jesus christ.
