Did you guys have a good Frank Ocean week? We started it with a Channel Orange comment party, then watched the singer's stunning Fallon performance, posted our Premature Evaluation, and dug up a Tyler-guesting CD bonus track you won't find at Target. Good job commenting, everyone. Do you wanna talk about something else now? Breaking Bad? Bain Capital? Pitchfork Fest? Check out this week's highest and lowest ranked comments then let us know what's on your mind!

I know, right. It’s almost as if this list was written by someone who liked Pearl Jam!

“Fiona Apple’s voice will sharp and flat and crack and strain when she’s desperately trying to reach us, and that’s how you’re supposed to do it.”

I think if there was one way you’re “supposed to do it”, music would be incredibly boring.

I stopped listening to Frank Ocean so I could listen to Frank Ocean. I do not regret it. Now back to Frank Ocean.

I love that he called his solo hits package 'Besterberg'. Other artists and bands joke about doing something like that — this nigger actually did it.

I think I'm going to have to disappear from music blogs for a bit.

" Instead the parallel that makes the most sense is Channel Orange‘s strongest competition for album of the year: Fiona Apple’s The Idler Wheel…"

Saying The Idler Wheel...is competition for Frank Ocean makes Fiona Apple seem worse. Don't you dare treat Fiona Apple like she's come cog in your hype machine. And I think that Frank Ocean's voice not making a big deal out of big deals is my main reason for not enjoying his music. Fiona Apple's voice will sharp and flat and crack and strain when she's desperately trying to reach us, and that's how you're supposed to do it.

Well, no, you're right -- there isn't one way you're *supposed* to do it. But Frank Ocean's way doesn't work regardless.
