Opeth are usually wayyyyy too plodding and unimaginative for my tastes tbf, a coupla good songs
Am not angry, really - just frustrated at the ever-blinkered critical hivemind, and maybe a LITTLE at ILX - check the number of posts in this thread, and the number of posts in the Third Eye Foundation thread. And that's an album that ILX has actually deigned to discuss!

as much as i wish albums i liked from this year would get attention instead of kanye, i wouldn't wish this particular thread on any of em

wait ppl rep for the ross verse on monster? even though he rhymes "sample" with "sample"
― dayo, Sunday, 26 December 2010 00:48 (thirteen years ago) link
i thought he was rhyming "sample" with "example"

he does rhyme "sample" with "example"

i deny you, lj, for not getting the hugeness of "power" and "lost in the world", or for thinking that it's the wrong kind of hugeness or whatever. not gonna try to say that it's a great album overall, cuz it ain't, but shit man, "so appalled" is hardly the scale attained. no more drugs for me, pussy and religion is all i need.

Billboard article about the album's big drop down the charts (but doesn't make the obvious connection about the lack of huge singles previous Kanye albums had): http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/retail/why-have-sales-of-kanye-west-s-my-beautiful-1004137168.story

"monster" video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKTtfwYqyd4
so nearly amazing but not quite there. feels way too static. as with the song the nicki section's all you really need, that actually is a bit whoa, though it really should've ended with her beheading herself or something a bit more dramatic

2:27 in that video there's a picture of a cloudy sky + moon + GETTY IMAGES logo??

i wonder if this is the final cut -- i doubt at least that kanye is putting out a video where one shot has a getty images watermark on it
― a snooki and a killer (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 30 December 2010 11:19 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah exactly
assuming this is pretty much the real thing it's not amazing or anything but i'm glad that someone is doing something on the "put your hands where my eyes can see" tip
nicki's part is great tho

i'm guessing the getty images moon shots are just placeholders

the THOUSANDS OF YOUNG SINGLES IN YOUR AREA youtube popup is pretty jarring juxtaposed w/hanging models

otoh maybe the watermarked part is meant to be ironic commentary on how phoned-in the jay-z intro is

def think kanye is on track by world premiering his newest video via his yHiTz3 youtube account

getty images perfectly sums up how i feel about yeezy in 2010 :)
<3 nicki, feel like i should download more by her.

still think the ross line ends with something like "kanye west sample/here's one for you to sample", but the alternative "kanye west sample/here's an example" isn't really that much better
― dayo, Thursday, 30 December 2010 15:51 (thirteen years ago) link
true, but it's still the latter
― The Reverend, Thursday, 30 December 2010 21:13 (thirteen years ago) link
"here's one for example"
this video looks like shit, you guys seriously can't wait for someone besides yHITZ3 to drop something decent looking, fuck

― dayo, Monday, 3 January 2011 01:26 (thirteen years ago) link
well he said it's his #3 album so i don't think he's really coming at it as a total crusader, just trying to talk some sense
― hann am0n tana (some dude), Monday, 3 January 2011 01:31 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah - his point about institutions needing to give this a perfect score is sort of what I have been arguing since the beginning

eh i like caramanica but hey dude it's your third favorite album, you're part of the problem, stfu

“My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” (Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam) remains, six weeks after its release, a phenomenal album, third on my own year-end list, textured enough to still be revealing new crannies upon repeated listens, and alluring enough still to warrant those repeated listens.
PART OF THE PROBLEM

yup
― call all destroyer, Monday, 3 January 2011 04:26 (thirteen years ago) link
caramanica didn't go hard enough, because he actually liked the album
i also can't take that dude seriously after he wrote an actual new york times article about pitchfork reviews reviews - just thinking about the pitching/commissioning process behind that makes me want to indict both him and his editor for crimes against journalism

lex since you're here can i tell you i enjoyed your top 30 albs list a lot :)
