Steve"I don’t listen to much R&B. I find the early 2000’s R&B to just be really generic and overhyped. So this album was a very big surprise to me when I listened. Right from the get go and every song after Frank paints you into a picture of the situation and world he’s in. You really feel you’re with him when he’s on these adventures. You remember your first love, the first time you may have found yourself beautifully out of place in a situation. You even agree that the shower head he’s using is amazing.
The production is wonderful, great instrumentals, great flow. The songs mostly build from something seemingly simple. I enjoy it most when I’m driving. Listening at work or with headphones sounded a little empty to me, but driving, I think with the hum of the car, really fills in that little emptiness. Maybe I’m crazy, Lyrically, Frank uses a lot of humor with his painting, like I don’t really get “Monks”, but I wanna be at that scene so bad. Mosh pits, wet tits, stage diving Dalai Lama.
I dare to say, this album really shines in the 2nd half. The songs are a little more my pace. Chuck full of good shit man." - Nick

SLUG TOP 💯
Salty P. SlugWho doesn't love Frank? This is the saddest queer R&B you'll ever hear in your life. I love most of the songs on this album, but my favorites are "Forrest Gump" and "Super Rich Kids." The best moment on the album is that synth breakdown in "Pyramids" tho.

1001Albums
Neil HopkinsThis sounded intriguing from the description - a debut album based on the artist’s synesthesia where he experienced first love as the colour orange. In actually, this is fairly anodyne R&B (albeit with some NSFW lyrics about running out of condoms) interspersed with random and surreal sound collages. The highlight (or very middling light) is where he pays a confused Muslim taxi driver to act as his personal therapist by keeping the meter running. Weird.
