when was the last time an artist who drastically shifted his sound was lauded by fans and critics? was it frank or has anyone done it as successful?
lorde divided her fans with solar power, fka twigs with caprisongs, could even put kendrick with mr morale

Giving p4k attention in 2025
Strong 1 or light 2 /10
Damn, he's not really wrong though.
Hope Kevin can bounce back tbh, still has it in him to make a solid album.
as a casual listener of his music, I really dug this album. lot of fun dance vibes on this thing. my favorites were the singles, as well as Oblivion, Obsolete, and Afterthought. I’m shocked at the very low reception. Dracula bout to be the Halloween weekend anthem
Damn Fantano with the 2?!
Pitchfork with the 4.8?
Sheesh lol I really enjoyed this one
I get the criticism, but the Dracula - Loser - Oblivion run is very groovy.
it feels like cheap formulaic grabs from past hits
like that s*** is what i imagine you would get if you fed AI tame impala’s catalog and asked it to give you a hit
Listen I was very underwhelmed with this but these critic scores are

Tyler the Creator with Flowerboy/IGOR (but he had CB as that awkward middle child in his discog)
Childish Gambino with AML

unhinged
They’re calling Neverender generic
Strong 1 or light 2 /10
its creatively bankrupt but a 2/10 is just disingenuous
Every time I give this album another shot it ends up losing my interest.
My Old Ways - Oblivion is legitimately a great run, then it falls off a cliff with Not My World and Piece of Heaven, kinda comes back with Obsolete, then loses me again until End of Summer.
I respect Kevin for always reinventing himself but maybe I'm just not a house music guy like that. This is sitting at a 6/10 for me.
