Came here to say this

a visual would go crazy with this track

man this album is so good. The songs he's been playing for a year and a half now (Algorhythm and Feels Like Summer) really hold up and sound fresh still, some of the new songs like Vibrate and Beautiful are some of his best ever. This might be his best album

I don’t follow him like that so I just heard those two songs last week and they’re both great.

There are a few songs on there we have had for a long time. We’ve been living with those: “This feels like it can last a while, it can be something that you can’t timestamp.” That’s something we were chasing. A feeling of, “I’ve heard this before,” but you can’t say, “this is from the 1960s, the 1970s, the 2000s.”

classic

Khadja Bonet came in and sang some parts for another record, and then they were chopped up and put in this record.

“32:22” stands out on this — it’s more abrasive than everything around it.

The way I describe that one is if you went into some village, a tribal community of people you had never seen or heard of but were observing. That song is supposed to be an insight into a spiritual celebration of some sort. Going to a place, experiencing something, not just saying, “I don’t get it, I don’t understand.” Sometimes it’s good to be in an uncomfortable situation. That song, for me, does that. I always loved it because it doesn’t sound like anything anyone specifically is doing. It’s this tribal experience we don’t get to hear in our pop-world of music making. And there are only a few artists who can get away with that. Donald can do that. For a lot of artists, there are rules — you can’t do certain things. But he’s able to tap into something that others aren’t. This is one — I don’t know where anyone else is gonna try this.

Do you think there’s an artistic reason for the time stamps? To push the focus onto the whole album?

That’s a question to ask Donald, for sure. But goal-wise, it’s always about the whole package. The way we interpret and hear music now is very, “I can change this now if I don’t like it.” It’s easier to switch something. We want people to at least sit with the songs. It’s not about the separation of the songs, it’s about the whole.

Did you know he was going to upload the album for 24 hours then take it down?

I didn’t know nothing about that. With the album being released the way it was, it was confusing the idea of a traditional release. But it makes sense for now. The main goal is to have people sit with it, understand the flavors. It’s hard to get those moments from people. This is the one time nobody can go anywhere. So sit with this.

mentioned "sit with this" twice

Last 2 songs are god level.
This aoty for me rn, the sunny weather rn is perfect for this.

It would be one thing if this was his Endless but it definitely feels weird to end Childish Gambino on this note without even saying anything.

death grips no love deep web rollout

Three times actually....

anyone disliking this album i want to know what you listened to it with

Favourite song now is Under the Sun

pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/childish-gambino-1238

This is straight up the most pointless review I've ever read.

that's not even a review, they literally just state what the song is about and what it sounds like ...

P4K is weird, many of their reviews aren't even dissecting the music but rather revolve around the artist, gossip or pseudo intellectual gibberish that is absolutely meaningless.

Album is currently the highest rated album of 2020 on Metacritic.

Probably gonna drop soon when Pitchfork/Fantano are "underwhelmed" by it.

But still great to see him reach such heights
