i actually liked that the pfork blurb was short -- not sure there was enough distance b/w this album & the year end list for there to have been 500 more words or w/e written about it -- if it came out in april, maybe -- i mean sean wrote that whole voice review, not sure what else he has left to say about it at this point

i would've lol'd if they just said "Well, duh."
weren't you the one saying there's absolutely no shades of celebration or bravado in "Runaway"?
What makes you think I was talking about "Runaway"? I was thinking about "Gorgeous".

The overall arc of the album is "I'm awesome, you hate me, go suck it" slowly transforming into "wait, come back, I'm lonely, forgive me"

yeah i don't know, was i suppose to assume you meant specifically "Gorgeous" because you mentioned his balls?
― some dude, Friday, 17 December 2010 17:18 (thirteen years ago) link
So because I say that is the vibe of the album as a whole, that means that every single song has the exact same theme?
Like seriously, try thinking.

yeah I basically agree, "power"/"all of the lights"/"monster" sequence would be a good EP or something and is usually what I listen to rather than the album proper
― Egyptian Raps Crew (bernard snowy), Wednesday, 22 December 2010 16:10 (thirteen years ago) link
gonna start a band named "monster sequence" and call our first album power all of the lights, see if anyone notices
― Egyptian Raps Crew (bernard snowy), Wednesday, 22 December 2010 16:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Starting with "Power" and skipping "Devil in a New Dress" makes this a much, much better album.
― Indolence Mission (DJP), Wednesday, 22 December 2010 16:11 (thirteen years ago) link
i actually kinda dig "gorgeous" if only b/c its understated psych-hop production + fuzzy vox makes "power" feel FUCKING MASSIVE when it hits next
― i genuinely thought when i first joined that he was the admin (ilxor), Wednesday, 22 December 2010 16:41 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, that's true, there is a nice contrast there — plus the rapping on it is good enough that the swag of "Power" feels deserved

This album has high points and low points but there's def no skippable tracks on it.

Best away to avoid the skipping dilemma is not playing it.

That is the beat with all of the trebly bullshit sitting directly in the vocal space, both obscuring the vocals and just clashing super unpleasantly in my ears.

Devil in a New Dress is the best beat on the album imo too. I guess you're talking about the organ in the centre of the mix obscuring the vocals? not the vocal sample. I don't know, it's all cool according to my pair of AKG 271s.
Nicki Minaj on Monster...damn.
This album is good imo, but not the second coming some users seem to think it is.
― historyyy (prettylikealaindelon), Thursday, 23 December 2010 10:26 (thirteen years ago) link
the funny thing is that v.few ilm users do seem to think that - most of its more vocal defenders here still think it's a pretty flawed album, and not the kind of flaws that "make it good" or whatever. i'm not seeing the 10/10s and critical hosannas reflected here at all.
― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Thursday, 23 December 2010 10:48 (thirteen years ago) link

― J0rdan S., Thursday, 23 December 2010 10:50 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, that would make sense. though it's notable that ilm is so broadly out of step with that (a step ahead obv).
