I like everything Ive heard from it so far, though disappointed "Earned it" made the album.

Im one of the few people who liked Kiss Land and thought it was his best project.
2942235, Frank Ocean can't make smashes. I love his music

but he has yet to make an "Earned It" and that song has made Weeknd a house hold name now. Soccer moms be knowing his hits (recent lol).

I think Frank would do the same given the same platform.

The Weeknd's success in 2015 was basically Franks' success in 2012-2013. While they used to dump all of those cats in the same category based off their mixtape success around the same time, I think the mainstream has evolved in their understanding of R&B to understand how drastically different Frank, Weeknd, etc are from each other.

It's sounds like an evolution of the first two mixtapes made accessible to a wider audience.

Sounds like a MJ album to be honest. And I wish Kanye made more beats like "Tell Your Friends".
