it good

brockhampton 2017 odd future but "SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS"

>>74762145

aoty no fooling

Better than the first

>>74762145
better than saturation 1 as a whole album, but saturation 1 had a few songs that are better than this whole album (milk, gold, star)

meh

When the FUCK is it out in Europe?

Great all the way through, but I feel like the ending dropped off really hard as soon as GAMBA started. Like, everything up to that point was solid, but I didn’t like the switch to like the autotuned meoldies immediately.

>>74762596
I agree with this

>>74762596
This.
The last three songs were really weak.

Who got the mega

>>74762145
It schlap, Junky is my favorite

Not very good.

>>74762145
6/10

>>74762596
they're growing on me. overall it's 7/10

Question for anyone who has listened to it:

How Alt R&B heavy is this one compared to Saturation I? Songs like FACE, for example.

i don't like the 90s boyband parts and the autotune songs at the end other than that it's decent

>>74762272
Agree with this, the best of both combined would be out of this world.

>>74762145

fucking FIRE, I like it waaay more than the first one

>>74763480

I'm like halfway through and there has been only one RnB track, it's practically all bangers

does it bother anyone else that they released a second, full-length three months after their first? Doesn't it seem to soon?

Omg you fantano dick riders are pathetic. Can't you lot from your own opinions?

>>74763503
>like halfway through
doesn't say much, the RnB tracks were on the 2nd side of Saturation I anyway

>>74763508
Just from a surface level it seems like they could have just taken the best tracks from both (or maybe 3 projects) and make one super album, seeing as they're capable of making a lot of music quickly.

>>74762596
kind of agree. gamba was really weak imo, but i think the other two may grow on me. the rest of the album was killer though.

>>74763480

If you're asking if Abstract continues to to shamelessly bite from Blonde the answer yes but less so.

My question is. Where are the bangers? There isn't one banger on this whole album.

This album is not as beat driven as the previous. A lot of songs jump right into the lyrics without letting the beats settle and impress you. I was hoping for a banger like star or bump. Overall, I just don't think the track listing is as diverse as the previous.

6.5/10

>>74763539

well I'm on track 13 of 16 and still no RnB stuff, don't feel like it's heading that way either

but I feel you, the RnB stuff was my least favorite parts of the first one

there is a track that has a sitar sample which is really cool

honestly the beats and rapping are just fantastic. lyrically it doesn't have a TON of depth but I think it's meant to be a turn up album rather than something artsy.

it's like trap-ish but it actually has great non-muble/autotune rapping and great beats

Where is the link?

>>74763600
>Junky
>not a banger

it bangs harder than any track on Saturation

>>74763600

>Where are the bangers?

nigga what? practically every track is a banger

>>74763615

s p o t i f y

>>74762596
>>74762642
The last three songs are my favorites so far.

Still, I just started it back from the beginning for the third time and QUEER and JELLO are growing on me heavily.

Just as bad as the first one. Do not get the hype about these niggas. SJW Odd Future

we /QUEER/ here?
or /TOKYO/?

>>74762596
Wtf. Summer and Sunny are fantastic.

QUEER is fucking outstanding

>>74763673
we /SUNNY/ here nigga

>>74763694

Wow its way better the second time around.

they are going to be known as the group that released 3 amazing albums within a half a year, seems like a really good marketing strategy if you ask me

>that instrumental on JELLO

oh my

>>74763885
Personally im trying to acquaintance myself with the other songs. Because the singles got a huge headstart in terms of amount of time ive had to grow to like them.

On top of that the singles all have music videos to help put you in the mood the artists were in, so it helps you to like the track vs. when you have to imagine it yourself like the non-single tracks

I loved Saturation I but there was at least 3 filler songs

>>74763987
Jello judging by RYM tract ratings

It seems Junky is the best track on the album then

>>74763531
My opinion is the album is good

what the fuck is the guitar sample in Sunny from?

Summer was at the beginning of the Empty video and I lowkey cried after realizing that.

>>74764229
I can't place it but I know its most likely from the 90s and its sung by a woman. I don't think its Alanis Morisette but it could be. Its driving me insane.

Has anyone noticed that they like to reuse the same noise sounds?
The noise in Heat, Junky, and Fight are all the same.

>>74764255
Which sound? I haven't noticed that.

Based Bearface closing another album off in fucking class

>>74762145
good as fuck 9/10

Anyone else think TOKYO is overrated?

>>74764296

>>74762145
What's the appeal? It's just so.... normal. I have no desire to listen to it again. I expected something much more inspired, especially from a group as hyped up as Brockhampton. Instead I got a couple of dime-a-dozen "bangers" that I can't even remember. I guess they really are the new Odd Future- everyone will forget about them in a year.

show me another hip-hop album with bangers of this actual rapping/lyrical quality

the majority of artists who ride on "bangers" are just autotune/mumble shit. Brockhampton are basically pushing bangers to a new level.

>>74764664
they're getting a lot of unwarranted attention for not being complete lil yachty retardcore when that's the default style now. if they were coming up in 2012 nobody would care about them.

>>74764714

you didn't answer my question

again, show me another album like this, that sounds very fresh and modern and trendy but also of actual quality and effort.

On the singles for saturation 1 I thought Ameer was head and shoulders about the rest, but he is really dropping off lately. Can't blame him though, I just don't think he can keep up with this groups output.

>>74764763
Dom and Matt are the most consistent imo

>>74764749
that was my point. effort at all is now special, it's sad.

8.5/10

6.5/10

>>74764884

you're still not answering my question

I'm asking you to show me an album that proves Saturation II isn't unique/good

and you are not doing that

if it hasn't been done as well as it is on this album before, then the album is important, even if you don't consider it to be great.

>>74764912
i never intended to senpai. i still think it's a good album btw.

>>74764749
>>74764912
That wasn't me who posted the response. First of all, I wouldn't say Brockhampton put all that much effort into this new album at all, nor would I say there's much quality material. It doesn't sound fresh, either- like I said, it sounds stale, generic, and boring. Secondly, let me actually answer your question. I suppose Good Kid Maad City is the first example to come to mind (even though I didn't really love it, it undeniably had SOME thought put into it, and is filled to the brim with bangers). Another example is the new Milo album- it's a perfect example of a recent album that sounds both fresh and novel, and undeniably had a great deal of effort put into it. Musically, it's on a whole different level than Saturation 2, but it fits the criteria (depending on whether you consider it's tracks "bangers" or not). Also it has great lyrics.

>>74763605
worst turn up album ever lmao yall are such virgins

>>74764935

>GKMC
>Milo

what the fuck

those albums barely have any bangers

they are nothing like Saturation II

although I do love them

Why are people itt judging this album by whether it has "bangers" or not?

>>74764978

white people think bangers make an album good

>>74764935
Oh, and one more- Niggas on the Moon. Sure, meme grips made it, but that doesn't detract from the absolute quality of the album. I'd consider every song on there to be a banger it its own way (don't tell me Black Quarterback doesn't fucking bang), and it definitely sounds fresh, despite being 3 years old now. It has a distinct sound that has been completely unmatched since then. Does it sound trendy? Nah. Much less trendy than the new Milo album, and even that's pretty out-there. Is that a bad thing? Of course not. In this day and age, hip-hop's a genre in desperate need of experimentation.

>>74765036

NOTM is like full on experimental hip-hop, I am not seeing the comparison to Brockhampton, and I wouldn't call anything on NOTM a banger, I don't think you even understand what a banger is at this point

where the fuck is the love for fight

>>74763885
JUNKY
TEETH
QUEER
SWEET
FIGHT

>>74762272
Agree with this opinion

>>74765067
>I don't think you even understand what a banger is at this point
Honestly, you're probably right, though I wasn't exactly saying anything on NOTM sounded like Brockhampton. Of course it doesn't. I was simply saying it fit your criteria in my opinion, which was that it had to sound fresh and modern, while also having obvious effort put into it (I'll admit at first I missed the part where you said it had to sound "trendy", but whatever). I suppose my definition of banger is much more broad. I still think NOTM has alot of tracks that "bang", but maybe I'm completely wrong. Perhaps "danceable" would be a better term to apply here? I'm honestly not the biggest hip-hop fan, so I guess the discrepancy makes sense. Oh well.

i'm going to grab some zaxby's because of matt's verse.

>>74764067
Fight is very underrated

>>74765223

"banger" to me means like, something you can put on at a house party, or in the car with friends, or to listen to while you work out or something.

but like, Brockhampton is making bangers that have actual SUBSTANCE, which is what I really like,

I enjoyed Saturation but didn't get the hype behind these guys but Saturation 2 is everything Saturation is but better

http://dopefile.pk/kqza84qz9hch

>>74766113

ohhhhhhhhhh NOOOOOOOOOOO a rapper is talking about a personal issue on his album, truly this is some new phenomenon that must be stopped!!!!

>>74766734
>it cant get a 10

why not? it's objectively better than the first one

but yeah Fantano will probably slap a decent or strong 9 on it

he has been tweeting about it a ton

>>74766594
I unironically agree with this
I just don't hear anything special

Also, anyone notice how they use a lot of exotic (I think they're called) scales on this project?
Just an observation

good, not as iconic as sat 1

>>74764033
DO you have a screenscreenshot?

DOM>JOBA=MERLYN>KEVIN=AMEER=MATT

>>74762596
Agreed, no slow jams with FACE quality, the rest of the album is great.

>>74767284
Dom > Matt > Kevin > Ameer > Merlyn > Joba

DUDE I'M GAY LMAO

>>74767319
at least we agree that dom is the most technically gifted.
his flow is just to good, expecting him to grow bigger than the band

>>74767363
He's the only good rapper in the group honestly. The others are fun to listen to but they're asap mob tier.

>>74767406
amazing how being a collective increases their individual quality.
dom is the only one id be interested to hear a solo album, maybe merlyn if he decides what to do with his voice when he is not screaming

>>74767436
What about Ameer? If he had some time I'd definitely love to hear a solo project of his
https://youtu.be/konRH1u-Wj4?t=27s

>>74767481
I love this song but he's way too samey

>>74767481
ehhhhhhhhh hes got some style and his flow aint bad but his voice sounds so very monotone, and he hasnt had much far away from the same themes he always raps

>>74763885
QUEER
CHICK
SWAMP
FIGHT

>>74762145
I feel like college age people only like them because they remind them of their own friends.

They are okay, but /mu/ is hyping them a bit too much and I really doubt you guys will still be championing them as the real deal in 3 years time. I've seen you guys do this with too many rap collectives at this point.

They need better production. As it stands, the lyrics are making the beats better, and that should never be the case. Beats should enhance the lyrics.

>>74768567
Completely and utterly 100% disagree

>>74762145
i think i won't listen to it

>>74762145
my only problem that ive had with this album is there isnt enough merlyn on it. god damn he really brings some umph to some of their tracks

>>74764763
Nigga uses the exact same boring ass flow on every song

>>74762145
Listened to it at work like 4 times
When QUEER kicked I end up in fucking awe and it just kept getting better. I wish Gamba didn't have all that shitty vocal effects.
so far 9/10

>>74762145
i enjoy it a lot

>>74768567
hi hello you have the wrong opinion

>>74762145
Any tracks on it better than HEAT?

>>74763600
nigga waaaat pull up

>>74763508
I knew who Kevin Abstract was before the Fantano review and wasn't really impressed that much but then when this came out and he reviewed it I checked it out and was pleasantly surprised.
It's not called dickriding if you agree with someone's opinion.

So who else now has an AOTY list that starts:

1) Saturation
2) Saturation 2

>>74764749
Rodeo, Imperial, Flockaveli, DropTopWop, any Freddie Gibbs album
Brockhampton is just bad dude, not even good bangers. It has some qualities that are good, decent sampling and sometimes alright production, but everything else is overrated reddit tier garbage

Favorite lines?

>>74771154

I will check it out

>>74771433

>Rodeo, Imperial, Flockaveli, DropTopWop

...are not anywhere near at the level of either rapping or lyrical proficiency as Brockhampton.

although I guess Freddie Gibbs kinda counts? I don't know if I'd call many of his songs bangers though

>>74771495
Not the guy you're responding to, but Denzel is a better rapper than most of Brockhampton.

He is guilty of rapping gibberish sometimes to fit into his rhyme scheme, but apart from that he is pretty good. The comparison between Denzel and Brockhampton isn't terrible desu, although Imperial isn't the album that I'd use. I think that guy just named the highest rated RYM Trap albums that weren't mumble rap.

This is undeniably better than the 1st one, real question is how the fuck is 3 gonna live up to this?

>>74771495
Brockhampton doesn't even make good bangers though. The production on Rodeo is leagues better than anything Saturation has ever had, Denzel is a better lyricist than Brockhampton as a whole, and Flocka and Gucci have better flows than anyone in that group

>>74771921
>Flocka and Gucci have better flows than anyone in that group

haha are you serious right now?

>>74771543
yeah you caught me, I'm guilty of using RYM, but that's just cus I haven't listened to any hip-hop music in a while and I just needed something to go off of, and judging by that guys taste he's probably not gonna like mumble rap
but scrolling by my library, I can find many more albums that have better bangers than Brockhampton.
YG's albums
Denzel Curry's albums
Maxo 187
Divine Council's discography, ICYTWAT's MILK as well
Freddie Gibb's Shadow of a Doubt and You only live 2wice
Skepta - Konnichiwa
don't forget classics like Mystic Stylez, Da Devil's Playground, Ridin Dirty,etc.
hell if you want reddit tier garbage, even Run The Jewels has better bangers than Brockhampton
Even though I don't fuck with Brockhampton, I can see there appeal at times, but no matter how many times I listen to this, I don't think any of it slaps particularly hard. Gold is catchy and Star is kinda tight, but the rest is extremely mediocre

>>74771277
fuck you Dom is the equal best member with Merlyn

>>74771959

someones never listened to flockaveli or trap god 2.

I still think GUMMY is their best song. The video is great too.

>>74764935
I love Milo and Brockhampton. Why not enjoy both?

>>74762145
It's great. They thankfully ditched a lot of the alt-R&B shit that held back the first album, but they still have some work to do before they drop a masterpiece. I feel like if they compiled all their best tracks onto one album rather than trying to make three albums, they'd be better off.

uh
can someone explain to me how this group is anything more than just consistently good, because everyone i see who listens to them is near melonhead levels of hypebeasting

>>74764632
I think it'll get an 8 or 9. Not a 10 because the track GAMBA is really weak.

>>74772372
They do the alt rnb well though. Face is one of the best songs on Saturation.
>>74772390
I think people are just wanting to get away from this trend of absolutely abominable trap music that all sounds the same.

>>74772414
Yeah, I really like Face too. I just felt like a lot of the less memorable tracks from the first album were the alt-R&B cuts. I hate Frank Ocean though so it might just be me.

>>74772453
I don't hate hate frank ocean, his fan base make him out to be some kind of musical god though. I think he's talented, but not to the extent where he shouldn't receive any kind of criticism.
