I’m scoring this an 8 for sound. But didn’t you give the CD a 9? Yes! The reason I’m giving the vinyl a lesser score is because there are more problems thus far. I’m not necessarily saying the CD sounds better, just that the vinyl isn’t up to the high expectations. The best melodical album I've heard! We all know Tyler, the Creator, as one of the most talented artists in the current hip-hop era. This record feels to me not like a bunch of songs, fitting loosely some theme, but a poetic love story, that has to be listened in its entirety, for the full experience.
