All I know is first listen of Channel Orange = instant classic. First listen of 20/20 = ...it's good.

I think the reverse

Channel Orange=good
20/20= potential classic

 

[nako xl]

neither of those albums are classic.

Kinda tough to determine a week before it releases

Really liked it upon my first listen, Timbaland really brought it and there isn't one song I dont like....its not the best thing I've heard, its smooth

EDIT: On my second listen this **** is hitting me :x its a great album, the production is absolutely fantastic and JT kills it...gonna have to check the tour out this summer man

 

[bluexsneakerhead]

I'm so in love with JT right now. That voice is just like robin thicke's super super seductive. I'm fangirling like crazy

 

[mr brown]

timbaland :x

Sorry but channel orange is absolutely a modern classic at this point. I just wanted to point out that IMO the 2 albums should be compared similarly.

 

[2 RAWW]

This album is incredible. JT and Timbo..

 

[lyonbc1]

Woooooooooooooo!!!! Blue Ocean Floor

Lol you blessed him 3 times but I feel you I'm upset I can't get it on iTunes at work

 

[deuce king]

Looking at the reviews in here of the albums thus far, I'm looking forward to getting this next Tuesday.  I'll wait till then to hear the album in it's entirety once I purchase it.

 

[jdi23]

Its good upon first listen. Nothing mind blowing though. Maybe I more time to hear the classic part. My opinion.

 

[crazy ebw]

Need to put this on blast in the whip.

Nah, it's not.

Outside of about 6 songs i really didn't see what the hype about Frank Ocean was

I think Frank Ocean Ethered his career at the Grammys bc everyone who didn't know of him thinks he's a joke now

 

[incredibleev]

Hmm okay then. I really don't wanna thread jack but ill just say channel orange was a major major album within the record industry from the marketing, the tumblr posts, the early release x Fallon appearance, and last but not least the quality of the music. People in the industry are still talking about that album and will always anticipate his new stuff because of it.

This album is basically in the same genre and is similarly a "moment" album. I like this JT album a lot, but it's not straight blowing me away. Timbaland is a genius with JT but there are a lot of moments where the production swallows JT or just overdoes it a little.

After a few more listens. i'd have to agree with this statement here.

its really apparent on "Don't Hold the Wall" and "Let the Groove In", IMO.

although i LOVE the second half of "Let the Groove In"

but overall, i love the album. strawberry bubblegum and spaceship coupe :x

can't wait until we get the 2 bonus tracks.

Just went on my site and saw this leaked.. I was like

Def gona buy it when it drops but I'm not patient enough to wait a week

Havent read any reviews on here, but I'm about to give it a listen and come back with a review and/or rating for each song in my opinion.

Geeked.
