Mar 23, 2016Frank Ocean has one of the most soulful albums this decade. There is an incredible amount of substance and a definite replay factor to Channel Orange. The production is insanely good, and of course he sounds great. An absolute must buy

Aug 29, 2016God do I miss the days when Frank was not pretentious. This remains his best album to date. Best tracks off this album are Sierra Leone, Sweet Life, Pink Matter and Super Rich Kids.

Jan 23, 2017I think this album is overrated and continues to get ratings about it's smooth, lyrical R&B genius, but personally found it boring and struggled to listen to the entire album all the way through without getting anxious to try something else out.

Mar 6, 2017THIS ALBUM IS JUST AMAZING. Frank Ocean is the best male singer. I just don't have words to describe how much I love this record. His voice is so soft, the lyrics, ahhhh, I LOVE YOU FRANK.
-
Jul 28, 2019Beautifully layered, produced extremely well... tremendous vocals, and an innovative style. Frank brings soul, funk, jazz, R&B, and whatever else to the table in a masterpiece widely hailed as a classic.

Apr 25, 2018A musical masterpiece, a legendary album ahead of its time. channel ORANGE is one of the few albums that I don't skip even one track at all. Frank Ocean delivered lyrical substance, fun and fresh skit and theme of the album itself. Classic R&B.

Oct 8, 2018Este álbum é simplesmente incrível. É algo que implique algum tempo para ser apreciado, sim, mas os pequenos detalhes na produção (que trazem mensagens) tornam as músicas excitantes e gratificantes. O estilo de Ocean é tão inventivo e as suas emoções fluem em quase todas as faixas. Destaques para "Thinkin Bout You", "Sweet Life", "Lost" e "Monks".

Jun 4, 2019A utterly gorgeous album. I just hope he doesn't fade into mediocrity . My background is rock and metal but this view my head wide open
-

Mar 24, 2020This album is beautiful top to finish, I come back to listen and view it alot and it has grown into one of the best albums to come out of 2010's really beautiful project honestly it says 8 but by rating is actually 8.8 so big W
-
Oct 25, 2019Okay this is the definition of a great album, probably the best R&B album ever, so much different emotions, just stunning
-
Jan 22, 2020Amazing emotional journey with sounds that will stay fresh year after year after year.
-
Mar 28, 2020Amazing start to the amazing Frank ocean. This is unlike any other no budget album from def jam records.
-
Jun 8, 2020I just think this is an OK album. I don't know why this album receives so much praise. This album is decent and a little bit boring for me. But I do like "Thinking Bout You" and "Lost". Does this album even have a message?
-
May 25, 2021Ocean's 2012 LP would be a masterpiece if it weren't for the lackluster feature verses, which don't fit the tracks at all. Besides that, channel ORANGE is a great storyteller with diverse tracks and interludes.
FAV TRACK: Lost
LEAST FAV TRACK: Super Rich Kids -
Nov 27, 2020even today, i hear this album as if i was hearing it for the first time. all the emotions, exposed mercilessly, it makes you feel and vision the album itself. to frank, i love you. thank you for this masterpiece.
-
Jan 17, 2021As far as first albums go this is what every artist should strive for. Frank talks about growing up in LA with his incredible songwriting and lyrics while performing the with great vocals. Channel Orange is the ideal Frank Ocean.

Jan 25, 2023By far my favorite album of all time. I’ve been listening for years and everytime i listen from beginning to end (very often) it feels like the first time. So ahead of its time, beautiful, emotional, everlasting, and perfect in every sense of the word
-
Jan 10, 2022I would have to say Frank has done his best work back when Odd Future was still together. The better of his 2 albums so far but that's not saying much. Overrated.
-
Sep 6, 2021I mean it has a grammy when they didnt snub anyone i hope so. I got nothing to say to the genius of this album

Jun 15, 2022Channel Orange is one of those piece's of music that seems nostalgic the first time you hear it.
-
Oct 9, 2022Frank Ocean's album, Channel Orange, is one of the greatest albums of all time. It has great songs such as Thinkin Bout You, which is also one of the greatest records of all time. Frank Ocean is truly an artist like no other.
