unfortunately the rest isn't quite as good as this, but there are a few songs that approach this

It's really chill for sure
I need to revisit the debut to make a good comparison

is this where we talk about The Internet's Ego Death? because searching for a thread about The Internet is impossible and this album is terrific.
who needs Frank Ocean?

Good p4k piece on 10th anniversary of first OF mixtape: https://pitchfork.com/levels/found-family-how-odd-future-changed-everything/
But more than clothing and cover stories, the collective’s greatest triumph is just being here in the present, still actively participating in the musical conversations they helped start. From the days of that first mixtape 10 years ago, or even when they wowed critics and fans in the years that followed, there was no indication these scatalogical teens would see such levels of notoriety, let alone the Grammy stages they dreamed of. (Tyler, the Creator, the Internet, and Frank Ocean have all earned nominations in recent years, with Channel Orange bringing home a trophy.) Like N.E.R.D. and Kanye West before them, masses of artists and fans alike found belonging and freedom in how Odd Future chose to create and live. Their legacy is one that demands we bask in complicated truths, reminding us that nurturing the parts that don’t fit is how any culture moves forward.

too bad none of them ever actually made a great front-to-back album. Ocean came closest I guess.

I think Blonde and I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside qualify, but yeah, I remember how much excitement there was for Goblin after "Yonkers," and how deflated everyone was when the record came out.

honestly Earl's first album is great too
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 31 July 2018 17:04 (five years ago) link
I still think the person who benefited most from the rise of Odd Future was Nardwuar.

Tyler has been quietly making some pretty cool records lately
xp lol

(also 'The Internet')
y'all are shortchanging the whole crew. Earl has made 2 excellent albums, Tyler has been up and down but at least is interesting, Syd/Internet's made a couple excellent albums, Frank is obviously on his own journey, but 'nostalgia, ultra' is a classic and 'channel orange' is good, and the rest of these dudes do their thing. 4 big-time, relevant artists out of a crew of 8-10 is pretty good. never mind both the short- and long-term impact they had in terms of the industry, the internet, youth culture, etc. they altered things forever!
i'm not even a huge fan, but given what they were when they started and where they're at now, the story of OF is one of major success and influence.
― alpine static, Tuesday, 31 July 2018 21:43 (five years ago) link
I can agree that they were successful and influential and still believe, as the article itself notes, that the actual music was never consistently impressive
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 31 July 2018 21:45 (five years ago) link
our culture is in a post-music place now, and they had something to do with it. I don't like the outcome, but I can't deny that that's what happened either.

Doris is possibly my favorite album of the 2010s so far.
― billstevejim, Sunday, 5 August 2018 05:33 (five years ago) link
earl is consistently impressive. they only need 1 ringer.

The logical conclusion of the original Odd Future trajectory. (Thankfully Tyler's actual solo output has turned out to be much more interesting than I'd have anticipated.)

Of course. Given Tyler's admiration for Pharell and the Neptunes it was only natural that he would eventually go the same direction as Pharell would.

a few months ago I was just drifting around my digital archive via sonos and ended up listening to, and enjoying an ep by 'hodgy beats'.I had no idea as who/where/what I was listening to and sonos gives no indication as to the directory in which the files are located.came as a shock when i came to realise the source.basically many years ago i had 'found' a folder on mk1s laptop of odd future related releases and nicked them off him, and had completely forgotten about them.
