The songs include Start, Thinkin Bout You, Fertilizer, Sierra Leone, Sweet Life, Not Just Money, Super Rich Kids, Pilot Jones, Crack Rock, Pyramids, Lost, White, Monks, Bad Religion, Pink Matter, Forrest Gump, and End in that order. Most of the songs give a calming vibe, which is partly because of Frank Ocean’s voice. Also, most of the songs, match the name of the song. Start, Fertilizer, and Not Just Money are three songs that are less than a minute but still contrast with each other. Start only says about six words, while Fertilizer sounds like a theme song of a cheerful show in the 1990s, and Not Just Money sounds like a recording of someone having a conversation. White is also one of the shorter songs on the album being about a minute and sixteen seconds. White is also instrumental, so there are no words. Lost is probably one of his most played songs on this particular album, as it has become more popular now. It also has a steady beat throughout the song and ends with the sound of channels switching on a TV.

Furthermore, Thinkin Bout You is another song frequently played on this album, as it came out before the album was released. In my opinion, Pink Matter and Bad Religion are similar as they have the same somber feel and a slight change in the music. However, they contrast in Frank's tone of voice. Also, Sweet Life, Crack Rock, and Forrest Gump are more upbeat songs on the album, but they all still have different rhythms. Monks sounds futuristic with some jazz and is a little upbeat as well. Additionally, Pilot Jones is filled with many sounds and changes throughout the song but includes constant snaps with the changes. Pyramids being the longest song on the album at 9 minutes and 52 seconds, switches between gradually becoming more upbeat with synthesizers to being a song with a stronger beat as each part of the song contrast. Moreover, End is the last song on the album sounds like the music is faded or far away, making it sound like it could be in the background of a movie scene. I would rate this album a 4.8 out of 5, as I enjoy listening to Frank Ocean's music, and I can listen to this album and relax.
