the first 1/4 is like straight up country, cut with beats. and in the middle of the hoedown tim will drop a snippet of "work it." there's a track that clones r kelly's "snake". and one where tim beatboxes "she'll be coming round the mountain."

'In Da Mud' is on the record, right? I really got into that one. 'Deliverance' and 'Jimmy Mathis' are nearly as good as Kiley's 'Keep It Moving'. I think she's a guest on the record too.
I have high hopes for this, commercially as well as sonically. I'm one of those dudes who thought 'Lovely' was underrated after all.

Liking it a lot so far. I loved the debut too but this one really has the courage of its convictions. Good also that Timbaland didn't feel the need to double track the vocals this time out.

From LAST year's country thread (and I think from hip-hop thread last year too):
So far, I'm liking the new album, but I'm also pretty disappointed by it; there doesn't seem to be any country-oriented stuff, which sucks, but I guess Bubba has to move on. So far my favorite track is "Wonderful," but that could change. The Pablo track's good, too. -- xhuxk (xedd...), October 24th, 2005.
Actually i think its that country-motif stuff that was painting him into a corner -- deej.. (clublonel...), October 24th, 2005.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe, but that doesn't mean it wasn't his best stuff. (Plus, I'm not sure *why* it would paint him into a corner. There's as much possibility in incorporating country as in *not* incorporating country. And there's definitely more possibility in incorporating both country *and* non-country. Getting rid of it makes his horizons *less* wide, not more.) (That goes for David Banner too, by the way.) -- xhuxk (xedd...), October 24th, 2005.
-- xhuxk (xedd...), October 25th, 2005.
Also, no Timbaland, which deej also seemed to think takes Bubba out of a corner, though I don't see why that would be true either, given Timbos perpetual restlessness. Maybe those who think the restlessness is un-Bubbalicious would expect him to shine without it, but paint'n'corner seems to be the wrong metaphor.
-- Frank Kogan (edcasua...), October 25th, 2005.
------Actually, I don't think Frank had heard the new album then, though. And the version I was listening to last October was a "rough mix," and since then, two ignorable songs from the original version have been replaced by two different equally ignorable songs on the new one. I still want to think the album's a keeper, but maybe that's just wishful thinking. Whether it's a keeper or not, it's by far the worst and most marginal album Bubba's made.

I left off of mama's with my thumb in the windThe leaves on the ground, winter's comin againSolid on the surface as I crumble withinBut legends are made out of vulnerable menSo on the brink of death I still manage livin lifeCause so rarely in this world are these chances given twiceI indeed sold my soul, without glancing at the priceNo instructions when I was handed this deviceBut with what I did get, I was more than generousPut others over self on several instancesBut I'm back on my feet without a hint of bitternessAnd one way or another I shall have deliveranceSo I say

EVERYONE Have NONE of you heard the pre-album mixtape for this? It was called New South and it's not the one you can get on iTunes which is some random Greg Street compilation. It's a 19 track affair entirely produced by Timbaland with mostly Bubba but also "the Muddkatz" - Duddy Ken, Attitude, RIcky Rucker, Kiley Dean, Petey Pablo and it's all really damn good. All originals except for 'In the Mudd' which is a remix of In da Club by 50.
You can hear it for free here - http://grooveshark.com/#!/playlist/DJ+Enuff+and+Timbaland+Present+Bubba+Sparxxx+and+The+Mudd+Katz+New+South+The+Album+B4+The+Album/66065631 - but I will find a way to get a copy to y'all if you want. I don't know where I originally got it.

"Band Leader" is pretty cool. The first few tracks sounded awfully similar production-wise, but for a pre-album mixtape, what can you expect, I guess.
