So unfortunate that this gets overshadowed by Blonde, because it's incredible
Jack Gregory : how do all of your comments end up as top comments?
Probably because this dropped a week before Blonde in the form of a livestream
I think it’s mostly because it never got an official release on streaming platforms besides the visual version on apple music
i think frank wanted that in a way tbh
EpicM1lkman exactly.
“hoping for a few more very strong tracks”
*Higgs and Rushes enter the room*
Seriously. Enter rushes. Most emotional song on the album lol
Rushes to the heeeaaad😭
There’s something surreal and magical about the fact that his son just walked in during the middle of Wither saying “I’m going in the garden” literally right after Frank sang “Hope a garden grows where we danced this afternoon, hope our children walk by spring where flowers bloom...” 💛
❤️
In some ways, I envy you. What I would give to be able to experience Frank Ocean's whole discography for the first time again.
i feel the same but the memories that i've made with endless and blonde since 2016 will always be so fond and nostalgic, still enjoying life with them to this day
I disagree, some albums for me takes numerous listens for me to really appreciate. Also I hope you get confused with the guy on top since we both have the same avi
Lol both replies are the same frank picture
Tbh you did get to listen to his whole discography for the first time at one point lol, just like everyone else
@@daboomchakalaka7898 “again”
Should do all of Frank's singles he released post blonde. Some really good tracks there, could do them all in one vid
yes

You’re a goat🐐 for this
I have a version of Endless where I always thought Higgs was Rushes To?
@@Camp6e11 Nope.
i salute you
that reaction to higgs was everything I was hoping for & then some. that song shakes you to your core
Higgs is able to give me a literal out of body experience, I mean it’s simply life changing, I didn’t realize someone could put that much emotion out with just their voice. And the smooth and organic guitar throughout the background sounds like he pulled it out of his heart (not trying to sound cheesy)
hilarious cameo by your son on his way to the garden
& that too Right! after Frank sings " Hope a garden grows where we dance this afternoon,
Hope our children walk by spring when flowers bloom"
This albums sounds like falling in love and blonde is the soundtrack to a breakup
what about HIGGS
JACKF that is the start of the breakup
this is a breakup album
I feel like it’s the opposite
It's just a album bout (beautiful) life bro, you don't have to interpret everything
The first time I listened to this album, I was disappointed after waiting 4 years to hear new content. And when Blonde came out immediately after, I overlooked this album because it was harder to go through because of the lack of structure and experimentation. But one day I laid down, closed my eyes, and listened through the album and realized I had overlooked a masterpiece. The chilling vocals seem to float through this out-of-body, unworldly ambience that takes you through a distorted and experimental universe that is completely engulfing. To anyone who skipped through songs or didn't take the time to sit down, relax, and listen to this album as a whole, I strongly encourage you to.
MeekTyrant Word.
that's exactly right. No pausing. No skipping. No interruptions. Just close your eyes and listen. Probably the most unique experience I've ever had listening to an album. I'ts so pure in it's emotion and atmosphere. Any suggestions for a similar experience with other albums?
Couldn't have said it better. I feel the exact same way.
Thank you for writing this, this is exactly how I feel about this album. I legit tear up every time. It’s a god damn 10/10 masterpiece.
Daniel Remian In rainbows - radiohead
Such a shame this album isn't on streaming platforms..
I'd love to see a "NOIR" album review as well (by Smino). Keep it up, glad you're still doing reviews after the main channel has been shut down.
MERTZY Wow been subscribed to you for ages and never knew you had taste
It’s on Apple Music my guy
Wow I can't believe you watched this reaction! Love your videos and glad to see you like frank as well ❤️
It's on spotify as a podcast
The absolute madlad did it. One of my all time favourite albums
Endless is beautiful. I get your impressions of it being all over the place and rough, because I felt the same way on my my first listen. I even put it aside for maybe a year before I got back to it and gave it a couple more listens. Now it's on the same level as Blonde for me, sometimes even slightly better. It contains some of Franks best songs to date imo. Rushes into Rushes to into Higgs is maybe my favourite piece of music. So give it a couple more listens, you'll love it!
Yo I waited a year to give it another try didn’t disappoint
Unity is one of my favorite frank ocean songs of all time
Since you’ve moved over to your own channel you’ve been reacting to nothing but great music. So happy with your new direction and so psyched to join you on this journey!
Lmaooo your kid is adorable
AHHHH!!! This was my suggestion (probably many others' as well) but I am so happy about this!!
Yes
ohthatgirlNina I wish he watched the video to be as confused as the rest of us were by both the woodworking and both device controls haha
Do Nostalgia Ultra next !!
You know it
@@JonDenton got real gems in it, more mainstream sound, killer samples. think youll love it
Oh yeah, please. Greetings from Germany!
I’d argue that endless is a more thought provoking and concise vibe than any other frank record
Levi Cohen his best work for sure
Blonde was done first then this album was made from my understanding. I honestly think endless is his transition into making more rap music. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next album he has way more rapping on it
Yes
Ckproduction03 hmm after his last few singles you may be right
@@Ckproduction03 that is false
I love how HIGGS was such a good song that it spurred him into such an inspirational little speech afterwards, incredible
Can't get enough of Frank ocean reaction keep up the great work mate
I know its Frank Szn but Sampha's Process album is fantastic, would love if u reacted to it
Sampha was on the second track on this project, beautiful voice
Kowalczyk Andy yeeees. Such a stunning album!
I’m glad someone reccomended this album, quality stuff
react to the singles he dropped after blonde!
Chanel
Biking ft. tyler the creator and jay z
Lens
Biking solo
Provider
Moon River
mihir Moon River too
Jonathan Lozano Vega edited ;)
Before blonde too though!!
Blue Whale, wiseman, memrise, White, Acura integurl, 4 tears
Yes
Lens ft Travis scott
Your reaction to Higgs might be the most intimately open and honest i’ve ever seen a reactor be during a reaction. Well done. Hats off to you.
Lol as soon as you said you were hoping for a full song, I was just sitting here like, "ooooh wait til he hears Higgs and just starts levitating" hahaha
That song is a religious experience!
@@JonDenton Haha yes! Honestly, this album is for people to just vibe out to alone and enjoy with no interruptions but thank you for the reaction!
I implore you to listen to this album multiple times, it grows on you so much I love it
It also holds a special place in my heart because of the whole drawn out three weeks beforehand of weird streams with guitar loops and ambient music and frank chopping wood with a table saw while KTT was going crazy trying to reverse engineer the location of the warehouse hahaha
I didn’t appreciate it as much while it was happening because we were so starved for new frank music, but that month was such a fun thing to experience and I’m sad that so few people know about endless and even fewer have any clue about the streams :’)
I let out an audible gasp when I saw this video on my feed.
Please do give this a couple more listens. Like you mentioned, music isn't supposed to be paused and interrupted, don't get me wrong, I LOVE your channel and witnessing your raw emotion to things that have brought me emotion are sooo beautiful, but this album is sooo great when you give it it's full play through. Hope you check out the visual as well! Thanks for you!
If you wanna see Frank rap more you should react to A$AP Rocky - Purity. Frank has a great verse on it.
And RAF
Blue whale
Amazing. That song would tickle him well.
Victor Maldonado I don’t think the worlds ready for that yet ): but.. life goes on pimpin the wise don’t doubt it
Listen to A$AP Mob - RAF
This album is so ethereal. I low-key find it more impressive than Blonde.
M. HLC definitely more impressive than blonde
M. HLC more impressive as an album but blonde had way more bangers
Finally someone that likes endless more
This is honestly my favorite Frank Album.
idk I don't think any frank ocean project or song is better than another they're all good
Watching frank build a staircase was where my life peaked
This isn't even a joke
My boy Jon never failing to give the people what they want!
Hell yeah Jon youre killing the game ! Love the constant videos and I can’t wait to watch this one later tonight. REBUILD SZN
The streets need that Isaiah Rashad bro
yes !!!!!
And Saba- care for me
Yes, I’ve been trying suggesting that in every couple videos
DEFINITELY
Ayooooo
@18:30 what a fuckin killer of a speech, man. One of the most respectable music reacter's i've ever seen. As a lover of music you get to know the look of someone falling in love with music, and you really have that. Super geniune.
gave this a thumbs up before giving it a listen lol the people speak & JD the prophet listens!🙌🏼 good on ya mate
Can’t wait to watch this! Thanks for doing it, this is my fav album of all time, have Endless tattooed across my stomach!
Really enjoying this Frank Ocean reactions you are doing. It's awesome to see someone being introduced to these beautiful songs for the first time. Keep it up!
I have a bitter sweet memory with this album. A girl and I spent the night and we both listened to this album (her first time hearing it) and we were just under each other’s arms. Love the memory, but painful of thinking what could’ve been.
This is his biggest grower album. I didn't really start feeling it for like a year after cause i was way more into blonde
This is a front to back full listen in one sitting album, no interruptions. I do understand that its completely different when you're making a video, but this album shines when you can absorb all the tracks and transitions together. After a couple listens you start to memorize the tracks and transitions and it feels so perfect everytime.
I almost cried when I saw this notification
Jon man thanks for reacting to some good music. It's been fun watching your videos.
S/O from South Africa
Jon when we getting Tyler the Creator season
Before Xmas 💯
Jon Denton Yes! Also could you react to the Frank singles that dropped after blonde like Chanel, Biking, Lens, Provider, Moon river.
Isaiah Rashad - cilvia demo ! Its so great
This will grow on you, I guarantee it
I almost never listen to single tracks from this album. Occasionally I’ll listen to at your best or slide on me, but this album is on basically every time I have a long car ride or travel of any kind. Try listening al the way thru a couple times since it’s short and this album will definitely grow on you.
I first listened to this project while on MDMA and its safe to say that it was probably the most connected i have ever felt to a piece of music, it almost felt like the music was interlinked with my emotions, I couldn’t hold back tears due to how it made me feel. The most beautiful music i have ever heard
i know this video and comment is old but i wanted to share a similar experience.
i took 5 Gs of mushrooms and listened to the entire album from beginning to end while peaking and it was the most emotional trip i’ve ever had. i experienced ego death to Frank’s beautiful voice. i swear i thought i was dead and in heaven. Such a memorable trip.
Son walks in and slap you in the face lmao
Much love from Minnesota! I rewatch these old classics a lot thanks for the good times
the album definitely doesn't feel like it's all over the place if you're not stopping in betwen, each track runs into eachother and feels really complete
8:08 denton looking around then getting hit in the eye hahaha
I actually tried to suggest Higgs on the Rock Reacts channel. That would have been legendary. Chanel, Biking, Provider and Moon River (a cover song) are the loose singles that dropped after Blonde
Don’t forget Lens
Eamon McGuigan thanks👍🏻
Wise man as well
BRUH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE ROCK REACTS STARTED!! THANK YOOOUU
I found that promoted artist throughh an ad!!! am shocked to see it here! love the song!
Jon Denton, the only man I know that would compare 'Slide On Me' to Sting
It gets better with every listen. TRUST me.
My wish has been fulfilled. You are truly a frank ocean fan
poetically and lyrically there’s so much frank does on this album. it’s amazing the emotional concepts he expresses. this seems like the most personal he’s ever been. and he put it on a throw away album 😔. i feel like he’s telling me everything and nothing at the same time with these tracks
Nice review, hadn't listened to this album in a while and it brought back a lot of 2016 memories... Can we please get James Blake season going!!!!
Themba Khumalo YESSSS. james blake season plz plz plz
Rushes and Higgs my favourite Frank songs
Hublots is one of my favorite musical moments of all time
I don't get why I never heard endless? I never knew about it. I knew nostalgia orange and blonde but I must've been asleep when endless was releaded. I don't understand why I've never heard of these tracks before. 🤯
T M It’s cuz it was released as a visual album on apple music, the audio by itself was never formally released on any platforms. i feel like his intention was to have this album be overshadowed by blonde so defjam wouldn’t get a lot of money from it.
@@marcflaherty6905 cheers for letting me know bro 👍
When you listen to the singles maybe listen to purity from ASAP Rocky’s Testing as it has an amazing Frank rap verse.
I'm so glad you enjoyed Higgs. I've been a Frank fan since "Nostalgia, ULTRA" in 2011, and it's by far my favourite song he's ever released. Also your kid coming in halfway got a good laugh out of me haha
my favourite thing about this album is grasping at small phrases you hear and attaching personal meaning to them
Y'all ever just hit the garden half way through a Frank album. Yeah me too .. to cry...
Do you live by the sea? I noticed some faint seagull sounds in the background (not complaining or anything). Glad you finally listened to my second favorite frank album
I do!
This is truly an album that’s meant to be listened to without interruptions, I mean shit it was a visual album from the beginning
It was so perfect for your kid to walk in on Wither. “Hope they’ll get to see my colour, know that I’ve enjoyed sunshine. Pray they’ll get to see me wither”
I'd say Endless is an album that deserves some patience and digesting. Upon my fifth or sixth time through, it becomes that much more incredible. It's an endless stream of music -- moments of someone's life in a loop of amazing sonics :)
I felt the same as u on first listen, endless felt all over the place and I just regarded it as a release to get out of def jam but trust me, when i came back to it later on in my life it hit home so hard the production is experimental but eventually became such an incredible journey and is what I feel franks most well produced album and his second best overall, a few steps below blond and a few over channel orange. Nostalgia ultra will be much easier to enjoy initially, but the sonic depth and beauty will be worth revisiting time and time again.
keep up the amazing work
Love you're reaction videos
8:10 - 8:15 is the embodiment of 2020 😂
Many tears have been shed to this album
Love you so much for this Jon
This album slowly entangles you with each listen. I love listening to this at night and see where it takes my mind
YES! I just finished listening to this myself lol. Great album!
His face expression to at your best when his voice comes in. I felt that. Powerful
very psychedelic infused album, shows you how endless Love can be
best flowing Frank album
You mad man.... love u for doing this
Since you mentioned Bon Iver, would love to see a reaction to some of his stuff. Don’t know if you’ve heard it all already. His new project is excellent
Personally this album is on the same level as Blonde and Channel Orange. It took some time but this album is so beautiful and one of the most overlooked albums of the decade. Rushes is my absolute favorite Frank Ocean song for its pure beauty and those terrific melodies.
Also if you do Nostalgia Ultra, good luck getting American Wedding not blocked on RUclips lol.
Defo one of the albums I liked a bit more every time with each listen
Thank you uploading this amazing reaction, and also thank you for keeping you getting smacked in the face in the cut lmao
So much love from Italy 🇮🇹
this album is crazy it’s like landscape it’s like a real place you can visit it’s a location it’s a time loop it’s infinite it’s a language it’s a universe. it’s like 3-4 songs build up to the most heavenly 808s drop
Sampha - Process would be a solid project to react to if you’re looking for something similar to the Endless/Blonde era of Frank Ocean
Yay on you experience , but let’s see that Jar of Tears from this living , breathing haiku
At Your Best (You Are Love) makes me cry
skipped to rushes too, been asking for you to react to it on the other channel since day 1. finally
Thank you for this man💙
My boy JD, you're really reacting to everything I'd want you to react to at the moment
Finally ! Can’t wait to check this out when I get off
Love this album. Thanks JD.
Where Simon at ? You guys together were a force to be reckoned with !
this and blonde are both perfect and among some of the best albums of all time imo
I WILL COMMENT MADVILLAINY UNTIL YOU HEAR IT ILY JON
50k subs
Jon Denton 😱 I can’t wait! 😁
I haven’t listened to this album in full but from the snippets I hear on this vid it feels like the connective tissue between channel orange and blonde
Endless is probably my favorite frank album...might be in my top 5 all time
