Yeah it really isn't. It's alright when you take it for what it is, but when taken in the scope of the rest of Frank's discography it falls way short. Too much fat.

I'm bummed the song snippet at the end of the First version of You are Luhh didn't end up anywhere on the records.
It sounded like pure bliss.

It's been my ringtone since that song dropped.

Duuuude I thought I was the only one who was still thinking about that. I replayed the end of that snippet like 50 times when it first came out. That's why I've always been so hyped for Frank's next album. I love Blonde, but it's completely different to what I was expecting based off that. It was such a jam, and was like a total evolution of Channel Orange's sound. I always thought it would be the lead single and he was teasing it early.

Yeah, I think so too. I love the whole album but I just can't stop listening to P+W, I think I might have a problem.
Hey, wait a minute... P+W... Pharrell Williams. Nah, probably a coincidence.

Dude, you have no idea how much I wanted that to be a song. So smooth.
I thought "Device Control" was weird but now it's got me like:
Haha yeah, I'm really into it now.

Not for two weeks at least.
You know if you buy and download on iTunes you can just take those AAC music files and play it on any device
Golden Girl was produced by Tyler

Tyler himself said it was P.
That's how I know P did P+W and assisted on Skyline too.
Allmusic/Wiki/Genius all credit Pharrell as well.
CO booklet doesn't have production credits but 'Williams' has a writing credit for GG.

Not gonna lie, even after multiple listens, I've enjoyed this meal, but I'm still craving a full plate of the appetizer (Endless).
I just can't believe he'd put all that effort and then cut it into less-than-bite-size pieces.

I was also waiting for that, sounded waaay too good not to make a full track out of :'[.
Whoops, never knew that
Channel Orange is one of my all time favorite albums. And it's follow-up has my most anticipated album 2 years running. But I'm still wrapping my head around how I feel about Blond. Wiseman and You are Luhh are both seemingly better than anything on here. This album is more of a slow day dream. Which I dig. But not necessarily what I was hoping for from Frank.
I was sitting there, listening, waiting for a 'bop', a 'songs for women'. As I've realised, it's not really that kind of album. Fairly 'slow', chill, quiet. Now I've put my expectations aside, and on a second spin, I'm starting to really like it. Some of these songs are very sweet, leave very sweet feels.

Really hope he release endless as a full on album. It would be a nice contrast to blonde, being more in the vein of CO.
I'm thinking Self Destruct is the best song so far.
Oddly I enjoyed Endless more because it sounded much different than CO

I cannot fathom how people think CO is the better album. I was taken aback by this thing. It's absolutely stunning.
Off first listen, CO definitely has the more "catchier" tunes, easy to pick up on. Blonde just has a depth to it that you need to soak in.

I wish I didn't go so Kingsglaive at Empire25 now, I could of gone to the Pop Up shop in NYC
However, I love this album so so much. I'm so happy that Frank came back with probably more than what people expected of him.
Two Albums (Endless/Blonde)
A Magazine
A Film (Endless)
And now there's still more left. Apparently something may drop tonight from different people (such as DenimTears on Twitter) and Malay. It's probably merchandise which I hope it is so I can buy the magazine + that hoodie.

According to people on KTT (KanyeToThe), multiple sources have said we will be able to buy it in a few weeks or something like that. Can't confirm if it's fully true or not, but at this point anything is possible. I'd be shocked if Frank gave out the magazines w/ whatever purchase we make on the website when the merch drops.
Oh all right, thanks for the info. Two weeks isn't too bad a wait, just as long as it's available to purchase eventually.

Listened to the album 4-5 times now. Even as a die-hard Channel Orange glad, I'm glad he didn't make an album that felt like Channel Orange Pt. 2. This is so entirely different and feels more like an aural journey through his mind -- including the highs and lows, hence why each song isn't a banger -- whereas Channel Orange felt like a collection of (great) single-ready songs. Endless also does feel like a great connecting piece between the two.

Not sure whether this'll stand the test of time (for me), but there are definitely chunks and sections of the album that are fantastic.
