When Frank Ocean's highly anticipated, oft-delayed album didn't come out on Friday as no less than the New York Times reported it would, the internet promptly reacted with a hilarious, meme-powered wave of disappointment. 

In the leadup to "Boys Don't Cry," Ocean's second studio album, the elusive singer has stoked the hype by broadcasting a looping video stream on his website. In the stream, Ocean has been deliberately constructing some sort of structure by table-sawing, spray-painting, and arranging slabs of wood since the start of last week. 

To the dismay of many, though, the looping video currently shows only a desolate warehouse, and there's still no sign of "Boys Don't Cry" on the immediate horizon. 

Now, as some outlets are pointing toward a possible November release for the album - which Ocean cryptically alluded to on his website with a "due date" library slip last month - the internet pandemonium (and fan despondency) continues. 

Read on to see some of the best reactions to Ocean's album delay.
