On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Adam listen to Bell's next pick, Frank Ocean's "Blonde". Released in 2016, it was his second studio album. The album was highly anticipated, having been delayed several times and came out to widespread critical acclaim. Some of the things critics raved about were the progressive sound and introspective lyrics in the songs, with a number of publications calling it one of the best albums of 2016. Pitchfork has called it the best album of the 2010s and Rolling Stone has ranked it at #79 on the list of the 500 Greatest Albums of Time. But how will the boys rank it? Will they call it "Pretty Sweet" or will they strap on their "Nikes" and beat a trail away from it? Come along and find out!
