Yeah. That album is what really threw a wrench into my 2014 list. I felt weird about putting it so on a list for a year that it barely made it into. Then I vacillated... finally I decided it deserved top 10 status no matter what, but I left it out of the top 5 just because of timing.
It is a brilliant fucking album. The best R&B release since Channel ORANGE. Possibly... actually, probably, better. I've known I liked D'Angelo since hearing how gritty and dope the non-singles and album cuts on Voodoo were. But I was worried he'd lost his mind a bit. Now I think he's one of the most talented artists in music, and crazy or not, he's released 2 10/10 albums. a perfect record.
Fucker's going on tour and I'm fixin' to see him.
