I agree, chat was. But that’s a good qualifier to liking an album. Way easier to understand an album in context. Like you not gonna get the full experience of a sad album if you are really happy in life atm. You won’t love a really happy album if you are at a low point. Context matters, memories matter. I remember I didn’t love Ants from up there the first 5 times, but I listened to it on an hour long train ride, no distraction. Staring out the window, and suddenly it made sense.

@@mocapcow2933 I don't know, if music is good it's good. I agree sometimes it's not immediate but I still think "you have to have memories" is nonsense. If anything it's the other way around. People find an album and then like "have a moment" where they get it. I had that fittingly with For the First Time. Didn't like it particularly then came back to it and I saw it from a different angle. Wasn't any kind of special thing, I just suddenly got what it was about. No "special memories" really. And sometimes you just find music in the "right space". Yung Lean's Warlord will forever be tied to the November weekend I found the Miami Ultras music video on YT because I was entirely there for it. I guess it did hit easier because of that but I feel like I would've liked it either way

im admittedly someone who has blonde firmly in the top 5 Albums of all time, but one thing I love about this album that's hard to put into words is how many odd and just downright creative elements there are in some of these songs. When listening to music idk why but I've always gotten meta about the creation of the music itself and thinking of the process and there's so many moments throughout this album where I just bask in how ballsy and often weird some of the choices that are made on this album are. Little vocal quips that sound technically rough as hell but just add awesome emotion, weird musical stabs that happen in soft moments like the end of White Ferrari, just so many little quirks that I have grown to enjoy so much after this many years of enjoying the album. Not for everyone and that's fine, but I love it.

while "you have to make memories with it" is a dumb thing to say is required to enioy any piece of music, i kinda get what they might mean, Blond feels like growing up to me, it's about lost love and finding yourself and all the complicated emotions inbetween, i remember first listening to it, and i discover new feelings and emotions within it as i mature and it's meanings change

most of this album is absolutely phenomenal for me, some songs are a little lackluster/nonsensical but still pretty enjoyable. it’s just experimental enough to be more flavorful than a standard 2010s R&B album, but doesn’t stray too far from what makes the genre good to keep plenty of Normies convinced that this is a 12/10 they’ve been looking for their whole lives (usually because of nostalgia around the time this came out, I myself am not immune to that bias but at least I admit it). Solo, Seigfried, Skyline To, White Ferrari, Ivy, pink+white, Nights (my favorite), and even slow ass Nikes are just super pretty and quotable, with simple and sweet yet still interesting production, and frank just fits in super nicely on each track. Futura Free gets an honorable mention for its wacky production. but since you have a different opinion than me i’m disliking, unsubbing, doxxing you, deleting your KZfaq channel, stealing food out of your fridge and turning your twitch channel into a hot tub channel.

I was 15 years old, my 18yr old bf left me saying it was bc of leaving town to go to university, but I saw him in a club with his ex gf (18yrs also) and blonde and endless leaked at the day of my 16's birthday. (I was a crazy teen, broken home). Man, I was deeply deppresed, listening over and over again. Listening to good guy, feeling used (I had my first hetero-time with him) and start drinking, smoking and doing all kind of dumb things. "You don't care for me, but he cares for me and that's good enough" Today I'm 22, more than 1 year clean thanks to my bf's (who is my age lol) support and also studying lyrical singing. I think endless is way better than Blond, sadly ain't in Spotify, I think is in Apple store. But definitly Blond was with me until age 18 or 19, like deeeeep in my core. Now I think is a little anoying in the ears, like a balance is needed, maybe is because I'm a recent music student, maybe is just bland. I'll give my final word in 10 years more when I already lived with a fully developed frontal lobe. (Sorry for my bad english, btw.)
