I think bad religion always gets brushed over and it’s one of the best written songs in terms of sexuality and religion with the taxi being almost a confession box, honestly gets me everytime
I listen to this at least once every month! His performance with the Roots and full string section on Jimmy Fallon is his best performance of this song imo.
I have probably listened to it every third day since it came out. My friends shat on it when I introduced them to the song many years ago and I haven’t fully forgiven their ignorant asses yet😉
Bad religion certified this album as a classic. Pilot Jones sets Frank apart from his peers. Pyramids makes it Frank’s magnum opus. Sweet life makes channel orange an avant garde cultural movement. Thinking bout you solidifies Frank Ocean as a legend.
@@justin9571 Blonde is just such an experience. Even for someone who listens to all genres of music it'll be a surprise. There has never been anything like it before and there will never be anything like it after. A complete masterpiece. It will be a huge shift for anyone listening for the first time.
was heavily surprised when Kevin called channel Orange trash midway through the review and instead began to play an hour rendition of Rockstar Made on an acoustic guitar. 10/10 review however.
Everyone is still trying to chase what Frank was doing a decade ago, and the only one that ever came close was Frank himself. So creative, so forward thinking, a true innovator
Sorry if this is completely irrelevant, but some months back when you and your dad were going through Kanye I got hooked. Been following ever since, and Channel Orange is probably my most played album in 2011-2015, so this one means a lot. The thing is, you two have such a great relationship, it is foreign to me, because my father is a narcissist. Watching you two having fun and interacting made me accept what he is, and that he is incapable of ever having something like you two share, with anyone. I thank you for that, because it made me move on. Watching you guys jam out over Channel Orange is a beautiful way to mark the occasion. Rock on and cherish each-other! :)
you might not have that father son connection, neither do i. but i’m sure you’ll find someone open enough to want to experiencing what you enjoy there’s plenty of beautiful people out there
Would’ve loved to hear you talk more about Pyramids - it’s suuuch an interesting track to try and decipher, full of interesting wordplay and references. Also, John Mayer played the amazing guitar solo at the end of the song, in case you didn’t know :) thanks for doing this, though, hope you get to Nostalgia, Ultra as well, that would be fun as Kevin will obviously know some of the samples. Even hoping for Endless one day, which might be my favorite Frank album!
I have really loved deciphering frank as well :) try the dissect podcast take on pyramids if you haven't already made me appreciate the song even more!
Important context to this album, it coincided with Frank publicly coming out, so those last 3 songs are incredibly personal, particularly 'Bad Religion'. Either way love these videos!
I love how you guys close the videos. After listening to some good music and paying attention to what you both comment, it feels like we are there with you. I always feel so chill and peaceful after the ending of the videos. It might sound stupid, but after some months watching your content I feel like you have been part of my day-to-day. Thank you guys so much. I send you love from Spain ❤
Pink matter is my favorite song of his ever, the transition when it goes “pleasure over matter” is just INSIAN. I cried listening to it for the first time and sometimes still do, I litterly can’t not even explain how beautiful that song is, Frank is litterly just the most beautiful artist and it just ugh I can’t I need to go to bed
beyond happy ur dad liked and enjoyed earls verse off super rich kids, its the best features ive personally ever heard. it perfectly compliments the tone and subject matter that frank was providing. im not sure if youre much a fan of earl, but earl has some amazing projects and each project shows immense growth in earl as a person and artist
If you guys want to dive a lot deeper into this album and Blonde, the Dissect podcast did a full season dissecting each track of both albums. It covers the music, production and especially the lyrical meaning of each track in a lot of depth. Frank usually has a deeper meaning and subject that he is getting at below the surface and that podcast does a great job of helping make sense. You'll somehow appreciate Frank way more than you did before listening to that
the reason i love frank is cus i know he’s just makin shit that he thinks is cool. he’s not writing verses that sound like every other rapper, cus we all know if frank wanted to he could rap. instead he’s singing and adding all of these cool effects and letting them speak for themselves and he’s doing it w some form of consistency, so it kinda ends up forming it’s own universe. he’s unique and no one has still to this day ever really done what he does on a large scale. all hail king ocean
Dude I really appreciate your dad! He gets it...Channel Orange is for mental health. A breather in my playlist! Musically a source of inspiration always.
whenever i watch your reviews, especially of iconic albums like this one, it always brings me back to the feeling of listening to the music for the first time, how excited I get when I hear the instruments, the lyrics, the stories come together. thanks for the awesome content.
I have rewatched this video so many times. This is one of if not my favorite album ever and Sweet Life has a special place in my heart. Seeing Kev's reaction to it is just gold
For years I have held blonde up on this weird pedestal above all other frank ocean albums for some reason, even though there are a handful of tracks on that album that I skip. This reaction has completely changed my perspective. I've listened to channel orange countless times and this is the first time that I truly appreciated how brilliant it is
I honestly think blonde is more consistent than channel orange but frank was the odd future memeber who came into his sound the earliest by farrrrr maybe partially bc he was older than everyone but
tbh, while i love this album, after listening to it a lot, i find myself skipping over a lot of the songs. blonde is just good, begining to end. i guess blonde is just more refined, frank was more mature as an artist on it.
@@DrCartof Well said. Though, Seigfried and Nights are all timers for me. I'm not sure that for me there were any personal all timers on Channel Orange besides Crack Rock and Pyramids. I like the ones off Blonde more than CO.
i think blonde may be more concise and “better”, but i listen to channel orange far more overall. i have to be in a mood to listen to more songs on blonde.
i always love listening to monks. the drums feel like waves and whitewater crashing over me over and over again. its exactly like being in crazy swell or being in a moshpit
I love this album. It's so consistent especially the lyrics and production. Also, it has so many classics (Pink Matter, Thinkin Bout You, SRK, Pyramids, Bad Religion). Also underrated songs (Pilot Jones and Monks). Frank a fucking goat one of the greatest artists and albums of this generation. Pls make more music Frank I need it 😫.
@@BanakaiGames it depends from person to person's personal preferences. Personally, I think this is the best album from Frank because it has the best replay value for me but yeah, all of his albums are not far from one another because all of them are good.
If you guys want another album from 2012 that influenced a new generation of artists & hasn't aged a day then Lana's Born to Die is the one. The combo of triphop and baroque pop is 10/10.
such a different take from your dad to think that blond was unfamiliar, I feel like its packed with some of the most nostalgia an albums ever carried. I'm sure it might be the age difference between him and I, but its honestly cool that he's still open to go back for another listen.
I think Dad will love nostalgia/ULTRA; I'd love to see his reaction to the sampling and if he loves Frank singing, he just goes way harder on that album too
I feel you Papa Tables: I finished my first track last year that I was satisfied with after almost a decade of making music. And guess what? An incredible day, I was buzzing - but then finishing tracks became the norm, and the next challenge arose: finishing a song that was better than the first one. Truly a never-ending process, so, in the end... just finish a track, get that fucking dopamine rush, and keep fucking moving!
I AM SO HAPPY YOU DID THIS ALBUM!! genuinely my all time my favorite album, kinda wish you guys added the hidden song on the last track “Golden Girl” it features Tyler, the creator as well! Overall I’m glad you guys experienced this album with an open mind :)
Wow Class of 2012! I had just graduated from high school and shortly after, this album dropped mid summer. Damn, brings back such great memories with my classmates playing this album in heavy rotation before we all went our separate ways. Listening to Channel Orange, always brings me a huge feeling of adolescence and coming of age. My overall favorite track was “Sweet Life” and I always thought “Monks” was the deep cut imo, since a lot of my peers tend to overlook it…lol. Nonetheless another great review! Thanks for taking me back down memory lane.
Chanel Orange. “Orange” is the feeling, “Chanel” being a tv channel, it has ads, it has the tv turning on and off. Each story is a program or film. At least that’s how I perceive it.
This series is the best! Listened to Blonde, Channel Orange, & Endless probably 50x times each, so this was a happy 43 min of my life. I think it'd be awesome if you guys did a dad reacts to John Mayers where the light is album. Such an underrated live album. Also Daniel Caesar Freudian :)
That "Muted" sound you talk about is actually the high end missing. It's what MOST rnb producers do in order to allow the percussion and vocals to stand out. it's a lesson that takes years to really master .
When I showed my friend Lost, he told me, word for word, "I don't like what he's talking about, but I can't deny that he's an amazing singer and the song is mixed very well." He had no choice but to respect tf out of it because of how good it is.
Amazing video for another amazing album again! Love it, you guys don’t miss! Btw, I’m glad you brought Arctic Monkeys’ Tranquility Base and Casino, great album also imo, it would be great to see Kevin react to it, I think he would really like it
When you talked about Sci-fi music, I thought man, y'all should listen to Janelle Monae's early work when she was an Archandroid called Cindy Mayweather. Her alter ego. Inspired by Metropolis, the 1930s movie that is widely acclaimed as the first sci-fi movie. All 3 albums were epic. Metropolis, The Archandroid and Electric Lady. Beautiful and mind boggling!
I know it’s incredibly recent, but I’d love love LOVE to see y’all react to Ants From Up There. The production and the vocals and the goddamn INSTRUMENTALS, I think it’d be something you love. Thank you for the things you make
It’s amazing how much these videos take me back to when I first heard the album. I first got into this album during the winter of 2017, and when I hear it, I’m suddenly back there. I can see the overcast weather outside, feel the cold weather, even the hum of the car that I was riding in when I listened to it for the first time. It’s brilliant. Thank you.
i like how i begin to sing the song while you guys are listening and it jump cuts to another part of the song and i gotta re adjust, makin me look like a fool
i've been waiting for this one! This is a top 4 all-time album for me and I have a framed waveform poster of all the tracks in my living room. Crack rock is my favorite song.
Super excited you guys did this one! and even more excited about the tranquility base hotel and casino shoutout. Such an amazing AM album which didn't nearly get the love it deserved. Can't wait for that ep
I remember the first time I heard Frank's voice was through my friend who played about 20 seconds of Franks vocals on Forest Gump and I immediately needed to know who this artist was. I was hooked from the first second I heard this mans voice. I have been waiting for you guys to listen to this album since you listened to Blond! If only your dad had listened to Channel Orange before Blonde.
When kevin described pink matter like he was tripping is such a good comparison. I remember listening to it while falling in and out of sleep and the parts where the beat gets really loud scared me
I listen to this album so much, each of the tracks hold so many different memories for me. Like listening to ivy in the snow for the first time and feeling absolutely and utterly magical. Or listening to Lost as the plane took off and I left the country that I had been living in for the United States. Or Sweet Life and walking through the sun soaked halls of school and feeling happy.
god i love this album and i’m so glad your dad enjoyed it, so many tracks on here have aged so well. i can’t wait to see what you guys review next, praying for more mac miller, especially faces :,)
His reaction to this leads me to believe that old Weeknd stuff would make for a fantastic reaction video. And, even with all of the Drake slander that gets tossed around - while understandable - his early stuff is equally influential (for the industry) and worth acknowledging.
Please react to Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino. It's a personal favourite of mine and it's such an interesting (and for me) very effective departure from the Artic Monkeys sound
I would love to see you guys listen to either I love you by the neighborhood or wiped out, both albums ARE STUNNING and I think you guys would have so much fun hearing their sound.
I was waiting for this reaction since i've saw you guys for the first time, thank you! You guys rock! BTW i think the drummer is Matt Chamberlain, he played with a lot of big artists, and jazz-funk bands
started screeching and hollering when you said Tranquillity Base Hotel and Casino is your favorite project - exploded even more when your dad mentioned Blade Runner in the same breath - god I would love to see this
Great video. Tell your Dad he was right about the Elton John, Benny and the Jets sample for Sweet Life. And also regarding the Arctic Monkeys album reference, it's crazy he connected it to Blade Runner as Alex Turner says on one track: "what do you mean you've never seen Blade Runner?"
I would pay $5,000 to hear Pyramids for the first time again
I have never heard a truer musical opinion, id pay an obscenely large amount to hear see you again by tyler for the first time again as well
I'm down to give you brain damage
@Romanome Frank Ocean..off this album..
pay me 5,000 and i will clear your memory

Best album of this generation.

the whole album has aged beautifuly, such a timeless sound.

yep
Pink matter always gives me goosebumps. WHAT A TRACK
I couldn't believe they cut out the transition from "pleasure over matter" into the beat drop. That moment gives me chills every time.
Pink Matter will forever be my favorite Frank Ocean song EVER
It’s literally his best song too me
@@blick9246 I agree! my all time favorite frank ocean song
the majin boo part allways gets me real emotional
dad is so right about how well pyramids aged. its still fresh today
I heard it for the first time around late 2019/early 2020, and it nearly instantly became my favourite song ever
I have probably listened to it every third day since it came out. My friends shat on it when I introduced them to the song many years ago and I haven’t fully forgiven their ignorant asses yet😉
The only skip on the album besides bad religion.
@@Jays-ug9bd ?
I'm not even a huge Frank fan but I think Pyramids is the best or one of the best songs of the 2010s

Bad religion certified this album as a classic. Pilot Jones sets Frank apart from his peers. Pyramids makes it Frank’s magnum opus. Sweet life makes channel orange an avant garde cultural movement. Thinking bout you solidifies Frank Ocean as a legend.
blonde is by far his magnum opus
And lost solidifies him to the masses. And is personally my favorite one on channel orange
Playing Blonde to a Frank newbie is like turning on the vacuum in front of a newborn
relax blonde isn't really abrasive or thst experimental... great album but not exactly hard to listen to

I’ve played Pyramids over 500 times since this album was released and it never gets old! Amazing album!!!!!
Wish I could go back in time and listen to this album for the first time again. Just a beautiful piece of art.

When you talked about Sci-fi music, I thought man, y'all should listen to Janelle Monae's early work when she was an Archandroid called Cindy Mayweather. Her alter ego. Inspired by Metropolis, the 1930s movie that is widely acclaimed as the first sci-fi movie. All 3 albums were epic. Metropolis, The Archandroid and Electric Lady. Beautiful and mind boggling!
This album is one of the greatest albums of all time. So much going on
I know it’s incredibly recent, but I’d love love LOVE to see y’all react to Ants From Up There. The production and the vocals and the goddamn INSTRUMENTALS, I think it’d be something you love. Thank you for the things you make
It’s coming up next if you check the Patreon
@@Andrew-cy7jo oh god please be true
Yes, yes, and yes
Yes please
It’s amazing how much these videos take me back to when I first heard the album. I first got into this album during the winter of 2017, and when I hear it, I’m suddenly back there. I can see the overcast weather outside, feel the cold weather, even the hum of the car that I was riding in when I listened to it for the first time. It’s brilliant. Thank you.
The dads reaction to Sweet Life is just 🤯❤️
Great reaction and a wonderful album. I'm loving the selection that two review!
Very much appreciated.
i like how i begin to sing the song while you guys are listening and it jump cuts to another part of the song and i gotta re adjust, makin me look like a fool
i've been waiting for this one! This is a top 4 all-time album for me and I have a framed waveform poster of all the tracks in my living room. Crack rock is my favorite song.
Super excited you guys did this one! and even more excited about the tranquility base hotel and casino shoutout. Such an amazing AM album which didn't nearly get the love it deserved. Can't wait for that ep
can’t wait to see when kevin gets more into r&b
I’d love to see Kevin react to some Steve Lacy.
I remember the first time I heard Frank's voice was through my friend who played about 20 seconds of Franks vocals on Forest Gump and I immediately needed to know who this artist was. I was hooked from the first second I heard this mans voice. I have been waiting for you guys to listen to this album since you listened to Blond! If only your dad had listened to Channel Orange before Blonde.
When kevin described pink matter like he was tripping is such a good comparison. I remember listening to it while falling in and out of sleep and the parts where the beat gets really loud scared me
I love the mid review jam. Speaking of Falsettos. If you haven’t heard Jeff Buckley’s “Grace”. I recommend that album
Jeff nick drake and elliott smith are amazing
i agree grace would be amazing if he hasn’t already heard it
YES
you should give the album norman f rockwell a listen. or even melodrama. they’re both amazing albums.
oh yes norman, such a good suggestion
NFR really gotta be a decade best album no way around it
super rich kids is a Bennie and the Jett’s sample!!! Dad was right lol
I listen to this album so much, each of the tracks hold so many different memories for me. Like listening to ivy in the snow for the first time and feeling absolutely and utterly magical. Or listening to Lost as the plane took off and I left the country that I had been living in for the United States. Or Sweet Life and walking through the sun soaked halls of school and feeling happy.
man what i would give to listen to channel orange for the first time again
so glad u guys enjoy sweet life as much as i do
god i love this album and i’m so glad your dad enjoyed it, so many tracks on here have aged so well. i can’t wait to see what you guys review next, praying for more mac miller, especially faces :,)
His reaction to this leads me to believe that old Weeknd stuff would make for a fantastic reaction video.
And, even with all of the Drake slander that gets tossed around - while understandable - his early stuff is equally influential (for the industry) and worth acknowledging.
I 100% agree
Please react to Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino. It's a personal favourite of mine and it's such an interesting (and for me) very effective departure from the Artic Monkeys sound
Want you guys to react to After Hours or Trilogy, your dad seemed to enjoy Dawn FM so it'd be cool for him to check out the rest of his discography
I would love to see you guys listen to either I love you by the neighborhood or wiped out, both albums ARE STUNNING and I think you guys would have so much fun hearing their sound.
!!!!!!!!
crack rock is the perfect driving song
Frank's first masterpiece is exciting and exciting, listening to it several times makes you see the quality of an artist he is
its not his first album tho!
@@jovanam2253 it is….
Nostalgia, ultra????
@@GIANTNATION that's a mixtape. channel orange is the debut studio album
@@bdrssxer what’s your point? He said franks first masterpiece not Frank’s first debut album? Lmao nostalgia is his first masterpiece.
I was waiting for this reaction since i've saw you guys for the first time, thank you! You guys rock! BTW i think the drummer is Matt Chamberlain, he played with a lot of big artists, and jazz-funk bands
it is Matt Chamberlain, legendary career, was surprised to see him in the credits. Killed it on here
started screeching and hollering when you said Tranquillity Base Hotel and Casino is your favorite project - exploded even more when your dad mentioned Blade Runner in the same breath - god I would love to see this
pink matter and super rich kids are absolutely golden
we need a ENDLESS REACTION GUYS
NOSTALGIA ULTRA NEXT PLEASE🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great video. Tell your Dad he was right about the Elton John, Benny and the Jets sample for Sweet Life. And also regarding the Arctic Monkeys album reference, it's crazy he connected it to Blade Runner as Alex Turner says on one track: "what do you mean you've never seen Blade Runner?"
In my opinion this is Frank Ocean’s best album. It’s perfecto!!! Like PERFECT!
