[@bobthepoppop]

Frank dropping this TODAY is so brilliant... simply because no one will believe it lol As far as the album goes, it's really hard to know how I feel about it since it's literally 6 hours old, but this just might rival the genius of Blonde. The transition from 'Found You' to 'Holding On' is so perfect... the sound, the theme, everything. And you think to yourself 'Yes! He's finally found love!' And then 'Hunger' happens...

[@re_i_gn]

Imo Coke and Cayenne is the top song of the album, sad that it's pretty underrated... Good picks tho!

[@thomasnelson5758]

Very daring, almost avant-garde. This will either be extremely polarizing or hailed as a decade-defining masterwork. Another win in a trailblazing discography of one of music's greatest boundary-breaking artists. Favorite rn is easily 'Eternal Sunshine'. What an album

[@jamjarrben12]

The dedication to the bit is honestly staggering, bravo 👏

[@aideneifriehew]

Wow. Just when you thought he couldn't top himself. Somehow 7 years of waiting has paid off into his magnum opus. An album we will look on up on in decades time. This is one of those benchmark moments in musical history. This video will be remembered and looked upon as a historical artifact.

[@amazinghooper]

Thank you for making this video I’ve been waiting for your reaction !

[@NATUR3F33LS]

fell down to my knees

[@ringer1324]

Frank does it again. A true masterpiece his best work since his 2015 opus To Pimp A Butterfly. It might even overtake that album which I thought was impossible. Can’t wait for the sequel album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted fantasy” coming out next week. Well according to the leaks at least

[@eailyl]

Frank Ocean's latest album "Lavender" is a true masterpiece. With its dreamy beats and ethereal vocals, it transports listeners to a world of pure bliss. The opening track "Longing" sets the tone with its soft guitar riffs and Frank's angelic voice, lulling you into a state of tranquility. The album's standout track is "Eternal Sunshine," a psychedelic journey that will have you seeing colors you never knew existed. Frank's falsetto vocals float effortlessly over the trippy beats, creating an otherworldly experience that you won't soon forget. Another highlight is "Headstrings, Headstrong" a haunting ballad that showcases Frank's impressive vocal range. The sparse instrumentation allows his voice to shine, and the lyrics are both poignant and thought-provoking. Overall, "Lavender" is a must-listen for any Frank Ocean fan or lover of experimental music. Its dreamy soundscapes and emotive lyrics will leave you feeling both peaceful and inspired. Don't miss out on this musical gem.

[@KAAYALL]

[@Zazuke5557]

Been busy today and haven't spent much time on the internet, but I have seen a fair bit of April Fools shenanigans that didn't fool me for a second. This, however, got me. It took me like three minutes of poking around on Album of the Year/the internet and being confused as to why this wasn't massive news before I understood what was going on. And for that, I guess this is the best April Fools joke I've seen this year lol.

[@dustinrobbins7313]

there's NO way frank actually dropped and i like it?? like this is a 10/10?

[@re_i_gn]

More like a 9.5/10 for me tbh, Getting On was a bit too melodramatic for me. Other than that it's pretty much perfect

[@emanuelsv]

DO NOT

[@dustinrobbins7313]

@@re_i_gn i feel you, normally i'm pretty critical about a song being too melodramatic... it can turn corny really easily... something about the instrumentation carries it for me though. I need more time to sit with it I think

[@Algox]

This is probably one of your funniest and best videos you've ever done. How you managed to record in pure silence for that long and still make the reaction feel genuine is INSANE.

[@Fleezy81]

[@fredthedumb]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THIS IS SO GREAT

[@taxavation]

I’m pretty new to the channel and by new I mean I just discovered you like 45 minutes ago from your to pimp a butterfly video but you should give “The Low End Theory” by A Tribe Called Quest a listen. Same jazzy feel as TPAB, just a lot more upbeat and old school . Don’t have to make a video on it but you should check the album out. Another album I highly recommend is “American Idiot” by Green Day, even tho it’s very different from the other albums you’ve reacted to, it’s a really fun album to break down the lyrics to and I’m curious to see what your first interpretation of the story is.

[@wyattdetherow6853]

Hope we can get an earl sweatshirt reaction soon, "I don't like shit, I don't go outside" is a very unique and personal album, one of my all time favorites

I think you should react to Kid Cudi’s Man On The Moon: The End of Day. An album that saved my, and many others lives. Kid Cudi is incredibly open with his emotions and this album means so much to me that I often cry listening to it. The production and beat construction also was ahead of its time and this album influenced an incredible amount of people in the rap genre. I think you’d love it. I love your videos, keep putting out content I cannot get enough!
