I came to the same realization earlier this month while also realizing that Channel Orange is a top 5 all time album for me and Pyramids might be my favorite song period.
I think prefer Blonde (also a top 5 album for me) but Channel Orange is still one of my favorite albums and Pyramids might be my favorite song. Either that or Self Control.
I've gotten way more into Nostalgia Ultra and Channel Orange recently. Still haven't revisited Blonde yet but I wasn't a fan when it came out so I'm curious whether it'll do more for me now.
It took a while for me to get into Blonde. It didn't click with me instantly like Channel Orange did but it's a great album.
This is a really great cover. Her debut album released this year is really good as well, check it out
I go back and forth with putting Blonde in that territory, but it’s only bc I really struggle with some of its sequencing tbh. A majority of the songs on their own tho are masterpieces themselves so idk.
Blonde's only major flaw is that silly story about the guy who wouldn't add his girlfriend on Facebook
I actually really like facebook story, it is a little silly but also not, and I think it's important in the context of the album overall with the themes of intimacy, etc.
Yeah I cannot stand the two skits. I always thought the discrepancy was funny between how phenomenal the songs are and how grating those skits are
