I wish my review would be added to Metacritic, but I guess a newspaper that has a circulation of over 800,000 a day isn't good enough for them :p

the fuck?? this isnt some persona game u dork. i dont get the big deal about me IMing you either -- its not like im going out of my way, i just ctrl-tab to gchat and look theres a member of the same discussion community online.
aerosmith has been basically arguing w/ me in a continuing series of threads no matter what the subject. he doesnt do this with other posters. he shows up, argues with me in a condescending way, whether he's wrong (usually) or its a genuine philosophical disagreement (maaaaybe the politics thread). obvi i dont think hes actually "stalking" me but its a way of suggesting that u know maybe his obsession w/ disagreeing w/ me might just be a little weird
i dont even get where hes accusing me of backpedaling on this thread ... all i did was bring up nitsuh's article a second time which you got all hardman about, i said u sounded butthurt. see what i mean? its just like, carrying old beefs from other threads into this one bcuz i happen to be confrontational w/ you in this one.
so basically, al, aerosmith, you guys are dicks.

lots of 'board regulars' post on many threads and end up getting into different conversations and arguments with other 'board regulars.' occasionally there is a kind of running unpleasantness between 2 people, but honestly when someone says "you're following me from thread to thread and stalking me just to argue with me," it usually feels like they're actually saying "the only reason you can possibly be disagreeing with me on this thread is that you have a PERSONAL GRUDGE with me, there's no way you could actually honestly object to my post."
― some dude, Friday, 26 November 2010 21:28 (thirteen years ago) link
yes, thats what im saying he is doingi dont know if its a 'personal grudge' or if its just that he thinks hes helping me out or what his motive is, but it does genuinely feel like hes going out of his way to take issue with basically everything i say
there arent other posters who do this on every thread that way. ill agree with alfred on one & disagree on another, or you, or jordan, or whoever else

i do think there is some truth to the whole "RAISE YR STANDARDS" argument -- i think the tons of praise & acclaim (and sales) that wayne got for a half assed album like carter III, where critics pretty much said that you can make an album compelling by being a massive drug addict that makes it impossible to put out a coherent string of 14 songs led to some lazy rap music in its wake

So I just bought the mp3 album from Amazon (it was only $3.99!) Every song title has [Explicit] after it and the artwork is this pixelated bullshit:

anyway, i bought the album finally & the packaging is really cool
reading the liners was funny -- apparently teyena taylor as "additional vocals" on "dark fantasy" & "hell of a life" (along w/ the-dream) & alicia keys has "additional vocals" on "lost in the world"
― J0rdan S., Friday, 26 November 2010 21:38 (thirteen years ago) link
i literally had to google teyana taylor to remember whether she was the person who did "google me" -- prophetic song
― some dude, Friday, 26 November 2010 21:40 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah when i read that she was doing some parts in kanye's performance in new york the other night i was like "huh" & now i have no idea why she's on this album
― J0rdan S., Friday, 26 November 2010 21:42 (thirteen years ago) link
i really hope that she didn't just lay down vocals in la or nyc or something and def jam footed the bill for her trip to hawaii to lay down imperceptible backing vocals on two songs
― J0rdan S., Friday, 26 November 2010 21:43 (thirteen years ago) link
Personally I'm loving this album still. In terms of both listenability and as a remarkable album of the generation.I think there's a backlash here for backlash's sake.

I kind of hated MBDTF the first couple of times I heard it -- production seemed ugly and abrasive and overblown -- but after listening to all five albums back-to-back the other day, it didn't feel as out of place within his catalogue. I'm not sure if that's a point in this album's favor or a point against the others, but I did feel like I appreciated it more.
― Domingo Halliburton (jaymc), Friday, 26 November 2010 23:17 (thirteen years ago) link
how do you mean "not as out of place in his catalogue"? To my ears the only outlier is 808's.

I agree, but even so I don't think it's "out of place," if that makes sense.
― altered boners (rennavate), Friday, 26 November 2010 23:26 (thirteen years ago) link
I think when I initially heard MBDTF, it didn't seem as melodic or as pristinely produced as the rest of his oeuvre. I couldn't detect anything as inherently appealing as the chipmunk-soul samples of The College Drop-Out, the fussily baroque sound of Late Registration, and the bright shiny synths of Graduation. Even 808s seemed, by comparison, more tightly constructed and more immediately engaging.
― Domingo Halliburton (jaymc), Friday, 26 November 2010 23:32 (thirteen years ago) link
i dunno i think this album has a lot of that stuff in it, its just buried in all this extended instrumental framing
― challop and a muff (deej), Friday, 26 November 2010 23:34 (thirteen years ago) link
Not always, though -- you can find it in the extra hooks from Justin Vernon on "Monster," CyHi's terrible verse on "So Appalled," and so on.

its not the kind of thing im into but it makes it the 'art record' that it is so
