Yeah you should definitely give atrocity exhibition a listen. It's a lot to take in and Danny's voice gets some taking used to, but its fucking amazing.
As far as I know, most fans and critics will say that Blonde is a better album than Channel Orange. Personally, I like Channel Orange better, but I will say that both albums are very good, and that they will probably be worth listening to. Blonde's production is more experimental and "interesting" than Channel Orange; Ocean uses more vocal distortion and there is a wider range in the types of production that the songs have. For example, on Channel Orange, the production isn't identical on every single track, but there are similar themes discussed through similar sounds. In Blonde, there is definitely a wider array of the types of production he uses. He'll have the same somber and dreamy songs like he had on Channel Orange, but he'll also have more abrasive, louder, and upbeat songs that'll use a really different style compared to what he had done before.
I would also probably say that he has a wider array of vocal performances in Blonde than in Channel Orange. Like I said earlier, a lot of Channel Orange's songs use similar production and similar subdued vocal performances. In Blonde, he might make a song that sounds like something from Channel Orange, but instead of having quiet and somber vocals, he'll be enthusiastic and fast paced; almost like he's rapping his lyrics sometimes. All in all, if you didn't like Channel Orange because you thought that the production or vocals got boring or stale after a while because they share a lot of similarity, I think you might like Blonde better.
It's funny that you would say that Frank's fans are fanatical, and even annoying, because I'm pretty sure that Frank kinda hates his fans, or at least a specific group of his fans. He really doesn't like performing live, and when he does, he'll do whatever the hell he wants, and not care about the crowd really. There's some funny clips of him singing "Super Rich Kids" while looking out into a crowd of bunch of wealthy white people who were able to buy tickets to see him live.

Yeah i think TLOP and Ye should have both gotten lower scores. He's also biased towards certain genres as well; particularly experimental or avant garde hip hop. That's not really a problem tho because experimental hip hop usually has the most interesting production and better lyricism than the majority of all other hip hop and R&B.
It's also good to see Good Kid Maad City (instead of TPAB) and Welcome Home in your top albums. Tbh, I think Maad City and TPAB are both great albums, but Maad City just has more songs that are bangers, and the way that he discusses the themes of peer pressure is done really well. I think Aries has a tone of potential for what he could do, and I'm excited to see what he's going to release next. I really hope that he'll drop something soon though, bc this man has not put out any new music in damn near a year and a half.

Yeah I gotta say some of his scores are a little bit suspect ngl. This man seriously gave Lil Pump a goddamn 7, and then turned around and gave the same score to Melodrama. I mean also **cries in MBDTF a light 6**.
