The writing talent on display, however, is irrefutable, whether it's a sharp aside, the precision and economy in the chorus of the Beyoncé-backed "Pink + White," or the agony evoked in "Self Control" (with an outro multi-tracked to pull heartstrings). Over the course of an hour, all the sparsely ornamented ruminations can be a bit of a chore to absorb, no matter how much one hangs on each line. He's often accompanied by only keyboards or a guitar or two less than one-third of the tracks include the sound of his voice and that of a beat within the same space. In terms of pop appeal, none of it approaches "Novacane" or "Thinkin Bout You." The focus is more on Ocean, the extensive list of "album contributors" - possibly a combination of studio collaborators and mere inspirations - notwithstanding. For those who felt the proper debut wasn't forthcoming enough with hooks or traditionally structured songs, this is bound to seem less like a luxurious joyride on a freshly paved motorway than it does an interminable stay in a repair shop waiting lounge. Allusions to parallels between vehicular travel and other aspects of life, such as making music, were drawn, his relief in completing the Channel Orange follow-up made apparent.

The vinyl pack comes with two records, a poster with lyrics from the album and another poster showing Ocean, and once again, Strong. This drop marks the first time Ocean has restocked the vinyl in years and fans have been forced to resort to searching for second-hand, surcharged versions online if they want to get their hands on one.
Perhaps the most exciting piece in the mix, however, is a vinyl of his 2016 LP Blonde. Two posters keep up the theme with warped patterns of Ocean and Strong, respectively. In an unexpected twist, the last t-shirt comes with a graphic of actor Jeremy Strong, who Ocean is apparently friends with. There’s also a t-shirt emblazoned with a graphic of the artist hard at work on his computer -hopefully working on some new music. Both advertise Ocean’s show as boasting “post radio quality since 2017” in small white text.

The drop features four t-shirts, two posters and a one-of-a-kind vinyl.
