any kind of vinyl release for this yet

he should knowing his taste, but idk dude has weird opinions sometimes

Almost fell asleep to that song with 21, maybe it's just not my genre. Gonna listen to the rest now.

really wanted to like this =(

Can someone link me to the letter they're talking about? I hadn't heard about that

just a heads up, we are all in 2020 now. please join us

I hope yall don't raise hopes for a second album lmao. This is a great conclusion to his discog. Still good ol' donald at the end of the day.

I see. End of era then most likely But I will be happy as long he continues to make music. I feel like his talent has no ceiling either, he can take it as far as he wants to

Don’t even know with the new names lol, gotta give it another listen soon.

this gotta be the most addicting album I listened to since like 2017 or sum

I'm not sure if I've ever heard an album that benefits from good headphones more than this one. The difference between listening to this on my crappy earbuds at work vs my AirPods Pro at home is actually astounding. The little details in the instrumentation are phenomenal

There’s some weird jazzy chord changes yeah but I dont hear a part where the vocals out of key

it sounds like the most perfectly cooked steak

Dahi, Ludwig and Bino cheffing up perfection

yh it just sounds a little awkward at times, think the "Planets never see a day that isn't towards the Sun" part in particular

just sounds like hes singing in a minor key to me

he ended up putting it in the meh section for his weekly track roundups smh

nah theres a really brief modulation halfway through when hes saying that, it sounds a little weird

Nah no way, him ending his potentially last album with a love song doesn't make much sense, Under The Sun is the perfect closer

exactly

yeah I said this the first day I heard it something sounds mad disturbing in this album

Honestly one of the worst first listen experiences I’ve had since the big day. I get why some of y’all like it but this is definitely not for me. I liked a lot of his last projects too, just disappointing

Maybe the best listening experience I’ve had in years. This blows his last 3 albums out of the water, I think it will be his first album to have universal critical acclaim. It’s like the best parts of camp, bti and aml in a very concise 12 tracks. the audio design and production quality are unbelievable, in terms of a technical standpoint, the beat making is so intricate. it’s a huge step forward. I think in terms of Donald’s vision, it’s a masterpiece. Not surprised that Ludwig worked on this after working on black panther because that album also featured lots of weird sound design that creates a bit of anxiety in the listener. My question is, why such an informal release? The album cover and album title almost remind of some rap songs, a very laid back approach to presentation.

Coming from a clearly MASSIVE Gambino stan, I was not really big on this album first listen. It's a lot to digest and process. I thought it was okay, but it really clicked with me after my third or fourth listen (and as I said above I think good headphones are imperative too).

If you want to be done with it, fine, but in my experience sometimes it takes a few tries to understand more complex / intricate music. Similar thing happened to me with TPAB.

the last 3 songs are all I'm feeling off of a first listen.

I don't really see myself coming back to this.
but I'll give it another listen maybe sometime.

those 3 songs tho need a chopped and screwed version of under the sun as well.
