That's one reason why it feels like such an important record, it short-circuits mainstream clubbing and frankendance so efficiently.

Linn LM-1 drums! Is this song featured on the deluxe edition? If ever there was an album that needs a mixtape of unreleased tracks.

"We got this version of the album that's called 'uncut,' he said. "This thing is like the freeze your face of the album. We had to put some cut on it, to be honest, just in this day and age. But, we feel it was the right type of balance. We did 60 tracks..."

i love the 81-minute deluxe version so much that i'm kind of salivating at the idea of some kind of insane souped up 3-hour version
― some dude, Saturday, 8 January 2011 07:36 (thirteen years ago) link
really want that to actually emerge
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Saturday, 8 January 2011 07:48 (thirteen years ago) link
It probably won't but I'm anticipating a bunch of leaks.

I'm kinda sad that I only got the standard version now.
― mavisbeacon666 (San Te), Sunday, 9 January 2011 14:22 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah dude deluxe is essential
― fruit of the goon (k3vin k.), Sunday, 9 January 2011 14:29 (thirteen years ago) link
i'll just d/l the extras
― mavisbeacon666 (San Te), Sunday, 9 January 2011 14:32 (thirteen years ago) link
it's just "last night pt 2" and "change" but they're both excellent songs (i know i'm in the minority on "change") and work really well with the flow of the album, the latter especially
― fruit of the goon (k3vin k.), Sunday, 9 January 2011 14:34 (thirteen years ago) link
everytime I see "Last Night Part 2" i keep thinking Diddy made a sequel to the Az Yet song
― mavisbeacon666 (San Te), Sunday, 9 January 2011 14:51 (thirteen years ago) link
if you d/l the extras you should change the track order too

so how is the deluxe 17 extra minutes if there's only two extra tracks adding up to 7 minutes? methinks wikipedia track length=wrooooooooooooooong
― mavisbeacon666 (San Te), Sunday, 9 January 2011 14:58 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i think wikipedia has adding issues
"loving you no more" is the final track on the standard edition? seriously pity anyone who has that but not the real deal deluxe

there are 2 tracks added to the main sequence, plus 2 more bonus tracks ("First Place Loser" and "Love Come Down")
― some dude, Sunday, 9 January 2011 15:35 (thirteen years ago) link
btw what do you guys think the worst track is? for me it's either "Looking For Love" or "Strobe Lights"
i've been trying to bait people into having this discussion for a min now actually
for me it's any of the 3 songs with wayne or drake, though "strobe lights" is redeemed by its final minute, which i love. "your love" does nothing for me, either
― fruit of the goon (k3vin k.), Sunday, 9 January 2011 15:46 (thirteen years ago) link
i always think i'm not into "Your Love" when it starts and by the end i'm like holy shit this is amazing
― some dude, Sunday, 9 January 2011 15:56 (thirteen years ago) link
imo "Loving You No More" is so good that not even Drake can ruin it
― some dude, Sunday, 9 January 2011 15:57 (thirteen years ago) link
"your love" improves as it goes on and is not awful strictly speaking but i really hate that beat, got to be the weakest on the album
― fruit of the goon (k3vin k.), Sunday, 9 January 2011 16:00 (thirteen years ago) link
"your love" is really strong imo, i love the tension of the beat - reminds me of omarion's "i get it in" and the dirty money girls slay on it.
IMMA PUT IT IN YOUR FACE BOY AS SOON AS YOU WAKE UPI KNOW YOU WANNA HIT IT, WANT ME TO BE YOUR LITTLE SLUT
worst track is "yesterday" fairly easily. i have the standard edition track listing and the bonus trax as free-floating mp3s and am happy with that, the album isn't actually out in the UK yet.
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Sunday, 9 January 2011 16:10 (thirteen years ago) link
it's missing about half the bass from "i get it in"
the opening & underlying plink-plunk percussion just puts me off, such a out-of-place played sound on an album like this
― fruit of the goon (k3vin k.), Sunday, 9 January 2011 16:35 (thirteen years ago) link
reminds me of "turnin me on" more than anything and i never really liked that song all that much so
― fruit of the goon (k3vin k.), Sunday, 9 January 2011 16:41 (thirteen years ago) link
i love "turnin' me on"!!!!!!!
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Sunday, 9 January 2011 16:45 (thirteen years ago) link
coming home reminds me of empire state of mind only worse. yea yesterday is also p bad
― johnny crunch, Sunday, 9 January 2011 16:58 (thirteen years ago) link
ha i know you do, and so does ship
"coming home" is kinda saccharine like that johnny, yeah, but diddy's rapps are ok, even dare i say touching, so it gets pass from me
don't get the hate for "yesterday" unless yall are just kneejerk breezy hating

"strobe lights," yes -- i love lil the vocoder part at the end of "your love" -- kinda wishing they had integrated that more into the song
i'm not a huge fan of "love come down"
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 9 January 2011 19:09 (thirteen years ago) link
well that's a bonus track on the deluxe version that's not even an option in this poll.
original "Angels" single version would easily be my least favorite song out of this project, but the synths on the remix redeem it somewhat.
― some dude, Sunday, 9 January 2011 19:39 (thirteen years ago) link
i love "love come down" and am actually disappointed it's not on the main album - hate the recent trend for artists/labels to disown underperforming lead singles
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Sunday, 9 January 2011 22:21 (thirteen years ago) link
^^^ Was just thinking that yesterday. It really encapsulates that air of lack of self-confidence about pop music these days, like, "oh we thought this was good but if the public doesn't take to it we're gonna assume the crappy track we'd red-marked "album at best, outtake possibly" is better".
― Tim F, Sunday, 9 January 2011 22:34 (thirteen years ago) link
"massive attack" vs. "your love" GRRRRRRRRRR
i mean ultimately it's also the fault of all the appalling people without taste who actually made "your love" a success instead
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Sunday, 9 January 2011 22:40 (thirteen years ago) link
"Massive Attack" was the example I was thinking of actually, w/r/t a bounty post on Nicki (though not on "Massive Attack" itself). Especially given it was such a "statement" first single, and then it's not like they're entirely pretending that side of her doesn't exist.
― Tim F, Sunday, 9 January 2011 22:43 (thirteen years ago) link
i was wondering what you actually thought about nicki, don't think i've ever seen you post about her!
i voted for "massive attack" in my p&j which was a STATEMENT of sorts
given the amount of bonus trax you'd think they could've at least have dumped it on pink friday at the end
there was also ciara's "go girl" in the fantasy ride era, which underwhelmed me as a single but finally grew on me at around the time i learned it was being purged from history, stalin style
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Sunday, 9 January 2011 22:46 (thirteen years ago) link

which version is this? the amazon deluxe one I got didn't have either of these tracks. looking now, the itunes deluxe has first place loser but not love come down.
smh @ amazon

"strobe lights" is v.great

"I know" is the worst song imo

yeah - I mentioned this in the other thread but the opening weezy verse is so ruthless xp

nah it's got plenty of ruth
― fruit of the goon (k3vin k.), Monday, 10 January 2011 00:53 (thirteen years ago) link
weezy parts are just ugh and the beat sounds like a less catchy version of "the way i are"

The physical deluxe version does not have either "First Place Loser" or "Love Come Down".

"Strobe Lights" was the exact moment of my first play that I freaked the fuck out about how good this is. Worst song is "Loving You No More".
