    this is so good. I can see myself spinning this a ton. it also does a good job of encapsulating my worldview, or Whatevs, considering I leave for college on Thursday. it just feels right.
     
    The first listen it didn't really click for me (though the second half felt a lot stronger than the first) and I wondered if I was in for a huge disappointment. The second listen through earphones certainly helped though and I think I'll end up enjoying this more than Channel ORANGE. My friend seems disappointed by the album though and unfortunately he's not really one for second chances.

    Anyway, early favourites are Nights, White Ferrari and Seigfried. I still think the second half of the album is stronger.
     
    It took me a few listens for it to really resonate with me. As I thought about it more and more, its themes really set in and grew on me. The same happened to me with Channel Orange and Nostalgia Ultra for me too. Even the really short tracks felt complete and wholesome to me which was really surprising, usually I'm left wanting more.

    My favorite tracks were Nikes (especially the version with Kohh), Pink + White, Nights, Solo, Solo reprise, Good guy, and Close to you, but I enjoy the majority of the tracks on this album. Even the interview at the end was fascinating to me.
