He dropped a new album today, any thoughts. I've listened to it a few times and it's grown on me, far from what he did on his last album. I like it so far

And really like it. It's interesting to notice his influences and how the shift over the course of the album. I hear a little Yeezus and Stevie and Lenny and Queen. He's a bit like Voodoo in the way that he's able to take the influences and seem more like an homage than imitation.
Also, for the first time in a long time, I just sat and listened to this record without browsing the internet or just doing anything else. Made for a good experience. I used to do that all the time as a kid but age and the pace of things get in the way now. It was weird how impatient I got as the time went. But I'll have to carve out time to do it again soon.
I'm actually jealous of the fact that Donald Glover of all people has a proper "soul holler" in his singing voice, which doesn't make any sense at all.
