IDK what the general consensus is but I love the album . exactly what I wanted from a Cole project . solid 9/10 for me rn , I can see this surpassing FHD as my favorite Cole album fr fr

J.Cole really said lemme drop once again the same album but Imma sprinkle some feats on it this time

listening to it first time rn

My initial thoughts was this couldn’t have taken years to make like he tweeted.

While the lyrics are good, it does sound like every other Cole album I’ve heard. Flows and lyrics are of the same content, attitude, energy, delivery.

If this is what Cole brings then that’s fine. I honestly like KOD which is ironic because that’s the first project he tried something new with a concept

I give this album a 7.5/10. I don’t see myself coming back to it too much except for a few tracks. He bodied a lot of songs because we know he can do that. Would just like a little more experimentation. Anything.

Finally a dope Cole album

well if he didn't outright say that, he definitely alluded to it. idk maybe everyone hasn't caught the doc or been following the rollout cause it's all laid out pretty clear

he's said how he just wanted to get back to basics, how he was writing in his mixtape days when the goal was to tear nigga's heads off. proving how good he is was really the purpose.

on first listen the energy and lyrics hittin hard

this might be why this album reminds me of iyrtitl a bit

it's not the only thing he's been working on for years. it's just that he's had records he was sitting on for either this or The Fall Off so both projects are "years in the making" essentially. they may not come out and say it all the time but plenty artists work like this.

After the mid that was KOD he blessed us with a CLASSIC 💯💯

Instant classic! S***s better every listen. Killa Cam opening the album just somehow warms my f***ing heart he a whole legend

Boring ass album lol

Bout to listen

Bro turn kod off and listen to off season

oh well cool then, I haven't been paying much attention so it wasn't really what I expected

This one took 4 listens to truly sink in

l i t e r a l l y

obsession itt

Wasn't he in Nigeria when KOD dropped? This time he's in Rwanda

He would bring his top bars for a cole project
