Frank pisses off his fans by taking four years for a follow up and gives us two albums to make up for the wait even though he doesn't owe us s---. I woulda been happy with just one but this is f---ing amazing.

I usually only read my reviews on Playboy, but I gave the link a try. Good article. I agree that it was worth the wait, and so far I like just about everything about it. I don't agree that him taking all that time made it better. There's no way to tell that. Kanye took 3 years and it was still rushed and released in patches.

Well Rihanna working with The-Dream and PND isn't really buying songs off of an assembly line though, those are obviously personal relationships where they were made specifically for her. But yeah, I assumed she didn't write much, but multiple people have told me she wrote a great deal of Anti on the spot in the studio
Click to expand...

what?????? work was NOT specifically made for rihanna. pnd literally said last week he wrote it about his own relationship.

and what? because she's a woman? i mean i love anti. love songs like higher and love on the brain but she isn't nearly on frank's level on a consistent basis as far as writing and i'm SURE she doesn't write 50% of her music so like what's going on here bro bro

duno if this was posted, but this is the excerpt written by Frank, found in the Boys Don't Cry magazine that had the cd in it at the pop-up shop:

Two years ago I found an image of a kid with her hands covering her face. A seatbelt reached across her torso, riding up her neck and a mop of blonde hair stayed swept, for the moment, behind her ears. Her eyes seemed clear and calm but not blank, the road behind her seemed the same. I put myself in her seat then I played it all out in my head. The claustrophobia hits as the seatbelt tightens, preventing me from even leaning forward in my seat. the pressing on internal organs. I lean back and forward to release it. Then backwards and forward again. There it is—I got free. How much of my life has happened inside of a car? I wonder if the odds are that I'll die in one. Knock on wood-grain. Shouldn’t speak like that. We live in cars in some cities, commuting across space either for our livelihood, or devouring fossil fuels for joy. It's close to as much time as we spend in our beds, more for some. The first time I did shrooms, my manager had to come rescue me from Caltech’s ‘Trip Day.’ As I got into her car, I swear to God the aluminum center console in her Porsche truck looked like it was breathing, like the throat of something. On the freeway, leaving Pasadena, we spoke and I looked away, outside, at the wheels and tires of cars doing that optical illusion thing they do where it looks like they’re spinning backwards, which, according to Google, happens because our brains are assuming something completely wrong and showing it to us. Staring, I was transfixed by all the indicator lights oscillating and throbbing against the wind. We drove thru downtown LA headed west, flying on the same freeways I used to run outta gas on. Welcomed in by the perennial creatures, imperial palm trees and climbing vines living their lives out just off the shoulder. The feeling familiar enhanced, on the 10. I used to ride around in my sinewy crossover SUV, smoke and listen to rough mixes of my old s--- before it came out, or whatever someone wanted to play when they hooked up their iPhone to the aux cord. A few years and few daily-drivers later I'm not driving much anymore. It's been a year since I moved to London, at the time of writing this, and there's no practical reason to drive in this city. I ordered a GT3 RS and it'll keep low miles out here but I guess it's good to have in case of emergency Raf Simons once told me it was cliché, my whole car obsession. Maybe it links to a deep subconscious straight boy fantasy. Consciously though, I don't want straight—a little bent is good. I found it romantic, sometimes, editing this project. The whole time I felt as though I was in the presence of a $16m McLaren F1 armed with a disposable camera. My memories are in these pages, places closeby and long a----numbing flights away. Cruising the suburbs of Tokyo in RWB Porches. Throwing parties around England and mobbing freeways in four project M3S that I built with some friends. Going to Mississippi and playing in the mud with amphibious quads. Street-casting models at a random kung fu dojo out in Senegal. Commissioning life-size toy boxes for the f--- of it. Shooting a music video for fun with Tyrone Lebon, the genius giant. Taking a break/reconnaissance mission to Tulum, Mexico, enjoying some star visibility for a change. Recording in Tokyo, NYC, Miami, LA, London, Paris. Stopping in Berlin to witness Berghain for myself. Trading jewels and soaking in parables with the many-headed Brandon aka BasedGod in conversation. I wrote a story in the middle—It’s called “Godspeed.” It's basically a reimagined part of my boyhood. Boys do cry, but I don't think I shed a tear for a good chunk of my teenage years. It's surprisingly my favorite part of life so far. Surprising, to me, because the current phase is what I was asking the cosmos for when I was a kid. Maybe that part had its rough stretches too, but in my rearview mirror it's getting small enough to convince myself it was all good. And really though... It's still all good.

This is Boys Don’t Cry and Blonde. First times. Worldwide.

I've been getting around to this more and more with each listen. This is the quintessential "summer is over" album in every way I can think of, the themes on here really got me in a very contemplative mood. "Nights" is definitely my favorite song I heard all year, love how it goes from the upbeat/rock vibe to this mellowed out R&B song where reality sinks in for Frank.
