Music for annoying hyperactive closeted gay guys. Frank Ocean benefits from being the best in class in what is a fundamentally dreadful genre that is contemporary R&B. A genre so far removed and bastardised from its original incarnation that it does an disservice to the original genre to given group them remotely together. Channel Orange is undoubtedly competently made. It creates a mood and atmosphere and a sense of world and narrative that is genuinely impressive. Thinking bout you, pyramids, Forrest Gump and Lost if you're feeling generous are great songs. But there's a lot of bloat. If this is your jam power to you, I'd love to hear why you enjoy contemporary R&B, genuinely. I just can't help but escape the feeling that this is the genre popularised by a society and a culture that would rather read the Wikipedia entry for a book then the book itself. Unironically good album tho, just hate the genre. 7/10
