Posted August 31, 20168 yr So with Frank finally releasing his second studio album after the longest wait known to man, I was thinking that now may be a good time to have an Ultimate Frank rate, celebrating some of the stunning work of the 28 year old thus far. He has truly become one of the biggest and most hyped stars of modern day R&B and rightly so, but which tracks really get you going? Now it's time to rank your favourites and the highs across his fantastic discography. Firstly, 'Endless' will not be appearing within the rate due to it being mainly interludes and not being well known enough. On the same rule, any interludes from his discography included will be removed to make the process much simpler and easier. This rate is allowing 2 11's and 2 -1's (if anyone even dares) throughout, as well as half points (although 10.5 will not be included). Obviously I know not everyone will know all of his discography (many may not have heard 'Nostalgia Ultra') but try and rate as many as possible. As 'Blonde' is still very fresh and new I am aware that many people will still be forming solid opinions on the songs so this rate will be staying open for at least a fortnight; whether this will be extended or not will be based on interest levels. Without further ado, let's get rating! Nostalgia Ultra xx.x Strawberry Swing xx.x Novacane xx.x We All Try xx.x Songs 4 Women xx.x Love Crimes xx.x There Will Be Tears xx.x Swim Good xx.x Dust xx.x American Wedding xx.x Nature Feels Channel ORANGE xx.x Thinkin' Bout You xx.x Sierra Leone xx.x Sweet Life xx.x Super Rich Kids xx.x Pilot Jones xx.x Crack Rock xx.x Pyramids xx.x Lost xx.x Monks xx.x Bad Religion xx.x Pink Matter xx.x Forrest Gump Blonde xx.x Nikes xx.x Ivy xx.x Pink + White xx.x Solo xx.x Skyline To xx.x Self Control xx.x Nights xx.x Pretty Sweet xx.x White Ferrari xx.x Siegfried xx.x Godspeed xx.x Futura Free
September 2, 20168 yr Since I'll probably give everything a similar score, I'm going to rate the songs relatively.

EDIT: Editing in Lost. How did I not see that? Edited September 2, 20168 yr by Scene
September 2, 20168 yr I've only listened to 'Channel Orange' so sadly won't be rating but where is 'Lost'?! :o
September 5, 20168 yr Nostalgia Ultra not the biggest fan of taking popular songs and using them as background music the only masterpiece of this mixtape is Swim Good 6 Strawberry Swing 8 Novacane 8 We All Try 8 Songs 4 Women 7 Love Crimes 10 There Will Be Tears 11 Swim Good 7 Dust 0 American Wedding 3 Nature Feels Channel ORANGE mix of classics (Pyramids might be one of the best songs ever) but also lots of meh tracks 10 Thinkin' Bout You 9 Sierra Leone 7 Sweet Life 7 Super Rich Kids 8 Pilot Jones 5 Crack Rock 11 Pyramids 10 Lost 7 Monks 10 Bad Religion 8 Pink Matter 7 Forrest Gump Blonde nothing has hit me yet besides the amazing Nikes 10 Nikes 8 Ivy 7 Pink + White 8 Solo 5 Skyline To 8 Self Control 6 Nights 5 Pretty Sweet 8 White Ferrari 8 Siegfried 6 Godspeed 7 Futura Free Edited September 5, 20168 yr by Bjork
September 5, 20168 yr I really wanted to give one of my 11's to 'There Will Be Tears' but I can't deny either 'Pyramids' or 'Pink Matter' an 11 either. I take it upgrading the number of 11's to 3 is a no-no. :kink:
September 5, 20168 yr Author What a discography. Nostalgia Ultra 08.0 Strawberry Swing 09.0 Novacane 10.0 We All Try 08.5 Songs 4 Women 09.0 Love Crimes 09.5 There Will Be Tears 10.0 Swim Good 07.0 Dust 10.0 American Wedding 07.5 Nature Feels Channel ORANGE 11.0 Thinkin' Bout You 08.0 Sierra Leone 09.0 Sweet Life 09.0 Super Rich Kids 08.5 Pilot Jones 08.5 Crack Rock 11.0 Pyramids 10.0 Lost 09.5 Monks 10.0 Bad Religion 10.0 Pink Matter 10.0 Forrest Gump Blonde 08.0 Nikes 09.0 Ivy 09.0 Pink + White 08.5 Solo 07.5 Skyline To 10.0 Self Control 09.0 Nights 07.0 Pretty Sweet 08.5 White Ferrari 08.0 Siegfried 09.0 Godspeed 07.5 Futura Free Not even kidding with my rate for the last half of Channel ORANGE. So wanted to give 'Monks' a 10 as well but didn't want it to appear stupid. Looking at my rate it is really showing how amazingly consistent he is. For any other artists the scores I have given track by track for 'Blonde' would be amazing but here they look unusually disappointing for such amazing work and one of my favourite albums of the year.

October 11, 20168 yr Author Bumping to see if anyone else wants to get involved. Only 6 rates doesn't make for that exciting results. C'mon people who made 'Blonde' thread 13 pages.
