Earlier this month was a much more optimistic time for die-hard Frank Ocean fans.
Now with the month of July coming to a close, the chances of his highly anticipated new album being released this month are getting slimmer and slimmer as the hours pass by.
Fans on Twitter were hopeful last night, keeping an eye on the clock and on iTunes alike, as Fridays have become the new preferred release date for new music, but alas, today (July 29) the disappointment is ringing heavy in the air.
At the beginning of this month, Ocean’s website and Instagram was mysteriously updated with an image of a library due-date card featuring a slew of dates that had been stamped over one another. The date marking the month of July 2016 was curiously blurred, thus giving fans reason to believe his album would be out sometime this month.
While there's still time for Ocean to surprise us all and release his album without warning, a la Beyoncé, fans took to Twitter to share their frustration and diminishing patience.
Take a look at a selection of the tweets below, some of which hilariously tie in the trending #ArthurMemes the internet treated us all to this week.
