It's a grower, and it's so damn infectious.

What sort of feeling does the album have for you? What images come to mind when you listen to it? Just curious.

One the best albums I've heard this year, if not THE best. channel ORANGE is boss

It needs to grow on me, I haven't heard great hip-hop in ages.

How about these ones:

And that's just 2012. I can barely imagine that you will reject all of these 3 albums.

It's "What's Goin On" with post-modern sensibilities. Or at least modern. I think it moves beautifully, and, though has a lot of ethereal sounds and images, is very tight and conservative. The pattern of seeming two-song combos which further link into the themes of songs ahead on the album not only keep me on my toes, but give me a sense of overwhelming forces, like soaring over all these events or hazily transporting to each isolated incident, like a very revealing dream. Janszoon I hhope i done helped this time.

Definitely the best new album I've heard in awhile, but don't take it from me because I don't keep up well.

Listened to this album twice in a row, love it. Ocean's got a beautiful voice.

I haven't listened to this album from start to finish yet, but I've listened to most of the songs scattered around.
I LOVE what I've heard so far.
And it's much better than one of the mixtapes of his that I had downloaded. I skipped most of the tracks, and I was really disappointed.
But this album is new and fresh and great. I really like it.

I can't get into this album! I really like the mixtape I had by him before this though. I will try again.

It completely bored me and I had to skip a few ends of tracks because it was unbearable, but to be honest, I generally dislike R'n'B so what do I know?

Well, there was one song I thought was okay but it went on and on to the point of boredom.
