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).

― lex diamonds (lex pretend), Friday, 24 December 2010 09:17 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, the point being is that "YouTube sensation" doesn't always have a direct correlation with sales.
Also Kanye's on MTV all the time even if this album doesn't have a traditional "high rotation" video. At this point MTV needs Kanye more than Kanye needs MTV, tbh

'so appalled' is the first track on this that I kinda like. smdh.
― acoleuthic, Saturday, 25 December 2010 18:57 (thirteen years ago) link
this album repulses a certain sensibility I have - it's too content to find bombast and maximalist profundity through extremely basic and overstuffed tropes which aren't even original or sophisticated, just exaggerated
and y'all buying it
basically,
so appalled >>>>>> runaway > the first half of monster before it goes on too long >>> hell of a life >>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest >>>>>>>> gay dad >>>>>>>> blame game
and so appalled is nothing more than a decent song
peace, this was always gonna have to happen at some point, out of our system now
