4D head: the song

I don't even know a single hell about Mr. Ocean and Friens' lore, but I heard spectacular shit about Channel Orange, and, overall, many good things about Blonde, the so-called Frank's magnum opus. Does Blonde have this? I think it doesn't. Pyramids is for R&B what Paranoid Android was for alternative rock, Lateralus for Alternative Metal and Earthmover to Shoegaze. A massive evolution of what we can conceive as epic and cool, converged into many gnarly, ethereal and ridiculous guitar and electronic layers of dogshit going on.

The first half is often overlooked, but my god the 3:50-4:40 section may be my new perfect part in music history. The neon feeling, the mix of blue and red colours and its derivatives across a endless party going for your life as a killer... density. The perfect R&B track.
