WHEN IS THIS OUT? NOW???

― Jay K (Jay K), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 13:47 (9 years ago) Permalink

Yeah...hasn't it been out for a few weeks now? Or is it just mp3s shooting everywhere?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 13:47 (9 years ago) Permalink

I like the backing music, but I still can't get into his voice. On some of the tracks (particularly deliverance) he says things too quietly, like he's afraid to speak.

It's not on Amazon yet ...

it's quite clear that tim
knows nothing of country but
'brother where art thou?'

but it's really great
nonetheless, AND bouncing AND
soulful AND skillful

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Monday, 15 September 2003 14:43 (9 years ago) Permalink

yeah, the new video is well done and all, but they already did the O Brother thing in the "Lovely" video.

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 15 September 2003 15:00 (9 years ago) Permalink

Yes, they should have called it Oh Bubba, What The Fuck?

tom I'm so tempted
to steal that for my review
(but of course I won't)

According to the circular in this week's L.A. Times, the album is going to be selling at Best Buy for $6.99, which I find very exciting. I assume it'll be like that around the country...

― Ben Boyer (Ben Boyer), Monday, 15 September 2003 20:12 (9 years ago) Permalink

timbaland says this is his best work and he's retireing from music after this

― chaki (chaki), Monday, 15 September 2003 20:42 (9 years ago) Permalink

Timbaland is Robert Smith?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 September 2003 20:42 (9 years ago) Permalink

Imagine Timbaland with the fright-wig hairdo and sloppy makeup growling his way through "Let's Go To Bed"!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 15 September 2003 20:45 (9 years ago) Permalink

Didn't he say that after the last Tim & Magoo album? And aren't they releasing another album this fall?

― JS Williams (js williams), Monday, 15 September 2003 20:47 (9 years ago) Permalink

I am a happy man. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 September 2003 21:00 (9 years ago) Permalink

picked this up today for $6.99 even though i didn't really like "Deliverance" the couple times i heard it (not too into the acoustic guitar in hip hop like Cadilac on 22s). really digging it now listening to the whole thing.

so far greatest moment is in the intro someone humming Cream's "I Feel Free"

― JasonD (JasonD), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 04:52 (9 years ago) Permalink

and the hi-hat pattern on "Warrant" is really wacky. almost wonderful, almost driving me insane

― JasonD (JasonD), Wednesday, 17 September 2003 05:21 (9 years ago) Permalink

this album is amazing!! wow. i can't think of anything else to say. except that yeah, it probably is the best thing timbaland's done.

― disco stu (disco stu), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 02:31 (9 years ago) Permalink

"Back in the Mud" sounds like Gold Chains or something. And "Coming Round" is gorgeous. This album is the surprise of the year, as far as I'm concerned. Once again, people: $6.99 at Best Buy!

― Ben Boyer (Ben Boyer), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 15:08 (9 years ago) Permalink

WHEN IS THIS COMING OUT IN THE UK? we're having to put up with muse 'n shit like that here y'know

― zebedee (zebedee), Tuesday, 23 September 2003 17:31 (9 years ago) Permalink

It's out here now. To very little fanfare tho', just like Dark Days, Bright Nights was sneaked out eventually. Pathetic.

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.

oh and:
TS: "Jimmy Mathis" v "Listen to the bass of get stupid fresh part 2"?
my money's on bubba.

There is no 'Work It' action in the UK version!!!

― Barima (Barima), Thursday, 16 October 2003 09:44 (9 years ago) Permalink

Also, 'Nowhere' is one of the most emotional and loveliest songs I've heard this year for all its gritty rapping. Kiley Dean is great on the hook. This rekkid really is some of Tim's best work, don'tcha all think?

― Barima (Barima), Thursday, 16 October 2003 10:33 (9 years ago) Permalink

yes.

the Daily Telegraph, of all people, made it LP of the week last weekend. Their Saturday review section looks pretty good actually. Better than the bleedin' G******* anyways

― zebedee (zebedee), Thursday, 16 October 2003 11:19 (9 years ago) Permalink

Way better than the first, although that also had its moments. This time around they are taking the country/hip hop fusion seriously. No tongue in cheek. Only greatness.

'She Tried' is probably the first ever credible rap country ballad.

I love this record! Bubba is a fine rapper and Timba is just way ahead everyone else, including the bleedin' Neptunes. Much love!

― Jay Kid (Jay K), Thursday, 16 October 2003 11:35 (9 years ago) Permalink

In terms of sonic invention and out and out crazeeness, Tim was always ahead of the Neps, who have a generally catchier vibe to their shit and the willingness to work with EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE. If Kiley worked with them instead of Tim, Interscope probably wouldn't be having her change her record, allegedly for being too 'black-sounding'.

― Barima (Barima), Thursday, 16 October 2003 14:03 (9 years ago) Permalink

i'm so fucking obsessed with this record. the first album i've bought in god knows how long.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 16 October 2003 14:16 (9 years ago) Permalink

"Kiley's too black-sounding for me." < /Patrick Bateman>

Also, maybe I'm misguided but 'Jimmy Mathis' and 'Comin' Round' would make great UK singles, maybe even decent charting ones.

― Barima (Barima), Thursday, 16 October 2003 14:36 (9 years ago) Permalink

You're right Barima, unless the UK hates great, catchy songs. I don't see how anyone could not like "Jimmy Mathis," at least for a little while.

― rob geary (rgeary), Thursday, 16 October 2003 16:40 (9 years ago) Permalink

"She Tried" really reminds me of Kid Rock's "Black Chick, White Guy," which I mean as a totally huge compliment.

Didn't do it for me. Love "Jimmy Mathis", though. The "Stone Fox Chase" sample is killer.

― Colin Beckett (Colin Beckett), Friday, 14 November 2003 18:50 (9 years ago) Permalink

One of Tim's best production jobs. Love it!

― Sean (Sean), Friday, 14 November 2003 18:53 (9 years ago) Permalink

This is a good album. Solid. A couple weak tracks. The strong tracks are really, really good.

Bubba Sparxxx has nearly completed his new album for Big Boi's new label...

― JoB (JoB), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 14:59 (8 years ago) Permalink

I rediscovered this album just the other day! 'Nowhere' still one of my favourite songs ever. Totally slept on at the time: 'Hootnanny'

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 15:09 (8 years ago) Permalink

It's good stuff, I'm looking forward to this new album. Seems like he's found his own space fairly comfortably...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 15:10 (8 years ago) Permalink

Kiley Dean = female Bubba.

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 15:13 (8 years ago) Permalink

And her track 'America' is a beautiful inverse of 'Nowhere' - the chorus is "nowhere's the place to go, let's get on the open road..."

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 23 March 2005 15:13 (8 years ago) Permalink

Hi, Alex.

beatboxed 'comin round the mountain' sounds like pure genius

Which track was this?

― BARMS, Wednesday, 23 March 2005 15:30 (8 years ago) Permalink

Hi Barima!

That was 'Disappear'.

Is there a thread on the new album "The Charm" yet? I think it's mediocre at best, and thoroughly disappointing.

― Josh in Chicago (Josh in Chicago), Sunday, 5 March 2006 22:45 (7 years ago) Permalink

You're right about disappointing, though it might be slightly better than mediocre.

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.

lol @ timbo's "damn how long is this song?" at the BEGINNING of the 3-minute "that's him" and the track's made of these really short three-note guitar licks, stays outta the way of the rapping but they're catchy on their own

― heiswagger (rennavate), Saturday, 11 August 2012 00:42 (9 months ago) Permalink

this isn't from now - it's from back in the day. right before deliverance came out in 2003.

― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Saturday, 11 August 2012 00:53 (9 months ago) Permalink

but if you haven't heard deliverance, you should be rest assured that it's like this but most of the time even better.

― twinkin' and drinkin' and ready to fly (Alex in Montreal), Saturday, 11 August 2012 00:54 (9 months ago) Permalink

oh no i'm a dumbass i thought there was a new timbo-produced bubba album coming out :(

i like deliverance but bubba isn't a favorite rapper or anything

― heiswagger (rennavate), Saturday, 11 August 2012 00:56 (9 months ago) Permalink

and i thought this was new. don't laugh too hard

― heiswagger (rennavate), Saturday, 11 August 2012 00:57 (9 months ago) Permalink

i mean this is hard enough to track down that it may as well be. :)
