I go between this and the college dropout alot based on pure quality but dropout is my favorite album off all time
This album is breath taking just amazing the only problem imo being see you in my nightmares i think the album would have been ten times better without it coldest winter street lights and pinocchio story legit make me wanna cry alone in a shower
This album is amazing with stand out songs like whatsgood and igors theme shits awesome dont get the overall theme just yet tho but its my first listen and frank ocean was the best part of running out of time frank ocean in general was so unexpected man like wtf this man came out of retirement anyway albums amazing no doubt at all the only problem i have with it is it feels a bit short also on first listen the theme could be a little difficult to understand after watching other opinions on this ... read more
I think this album is a flower boy light for kevin just much more mature and introspective release love most of the tracks even tho this too much bare bones instrumentals for me tho still love it
Georgia is perfection but the first 2 tracks weren't hitting me just my opinion tho definetly a more mature side of kevin and a cool project in general
This album is awesome i love how every track blends into each other making for a seamless listen super personal i think the theneedledrop said it best when he said "tyler, the creator blossoms as a rapper, producer, and lyricist on Flower Boy, his most beautiful and well-crafted album to date" my only gripe is that where this flower blooms is a bit forgettable
edit where this flower blooms grew on me and i believe that this album is perfect.
YO this is going to be long and rambly but I gotta gush about this album
The opener Ultralight Beam sets the theme of duality soooooo well after that we get the classic 2 parter Father Stretch My Hands with the first also having the theme of juxtaposition heavily used the second part is more of a straight forward banger with deeply emotional verses from Kanye and a nice outro that leads well into one of the best songs on the album Famous as Kanye spits out one of his most controversial bars ... read more
This album is something else it has the length of ye and the density of to pimp a butterfly ye i think this could be a 100 one day i just need to listen to it more but that was exhausting so many god damn themes this album has no songs over 2 minutes but they all fell much longer because earls writing and the production the production is just hypnotic
edit its a 10
Did not expect a debut album to be daring like this this is such a breeze fuck it a tornado of fresh air its so unexpected no name talks about abortion the days past and people dying in the streets. its like you're mom sitting you down and talking about life in a chilly summer Friday night and cracking jokes along the way im definitely gonna check out room 25
Very autobiographical on x's part amazing emotionally charged music just feels like a barrage of cool ideas
i think this album is amazing and i want to like it but i don't know it just doesn't hit me in the way people have been saying it has for them still awesome themes and production hope it hits me someday dunno definitely gonna give it a few more listens
edit: this is my second favorite album of all time right behind the college dropout
Love this. amazing response from kanye to all the criticism amazing production a few corny lines takes this back a peg for me but still an amazing album from ye [pun intended] the word for this album would be dense it feels much longer than it is
I love this album i think every song is amazing even the ones that didn't jump out to me one the first listen like school spirit really grew one me love every second of this project its really personal for me just because i hate school but just put up whit it this album is just iconic and needs to be listened to
btw this is my SECOND favorite album of all time :D
Amazing album one of my favorite kanye albums [so far i haven't heard some of his stuff] this albums length is just right it feels really good and there isn't any filler songs. amazing production and verses from kanye and beautiful singing from cudi.
this album is a classic in my opinion it doesn't have a single bad song the hooks are catchy and verses are amazing as expected from em this is probably my favorite album from him up there with the slim shady lp for me but it isnt that special it just feels like a good rap album not anything out of the norm
This album gets really gets stale in terms of concepts its all Em screaming about haters i get that he should respond but its just the whole album but its still 30 times better than revival so i think this is much more close to form to his better stuff the hooks are just terrible tho.
