this is weird to me, but i think it's because i would prefer an album of mr. yeahs + kelly's 12-play to what love v. money actually is.

lol. okay just looking at the lyrics, 'fancy' is a 6 minute long epic where the-dream is just about to capitulate to this girl and just about to devote himself to her, before he pulls out (lol) at the very last second and takes a step back in 'right side of my brain'

first of all, you could argue that the payoff is the end of "right side of my brain", which means that it just takes really long to get to

BUT

i think the part in "fancy" before the rap where the instrumental is really swelling up and the-dream starts scatting (lol) and there's the screwed vocal ("all we do is, we spend this money") is a great & sorta subtle climax, then it all drops out for his rap so there's a tension release -- idk that part was always pretty epic to me

yeah for me the release has always been in parts - starts with the screwed vocal, then the rap, then finally when the drums come in

can't believe I interrupted my catching up with TSJ to argue these points

billy cunningham is not happy w you jokers

'right side of my brain' is the comedown, not the release

no!! "right side of my brain" is tense as hell. that's where the "explosive release" is. the last minute of that song is the heaviest part of the album.

the release is mr. yeah/kelly's 12 play, where he is back to fucking

^^otm, "mr yeah" is the comedown which is why i do not consider it part of the suite

this is weird to me, but i think it's because i would prefer an album of mr. yeahs + kelly's 12-play to what love v. money actually is.

the album you're looking for is love/hate

otm

i know, that one is the best!

& just for the record i tend to get overly critical about this stuff, i mean LvM was my favorite album of 2009

mr. yeah is a victory lap btw, not a comedown

hmmm yeah

well then the comedown is "kelly's 12 play"

i know, that one is the best!

yessss

kelly's 12-play is just great.

i think "kelly's 12 play" has my fav dream lyrics ever

oooh oooh oooh-in it!

I'm glad we just generated another 200 posts about the-dream

haha this is the only kind of ilm posting i feel like i can participate in, enthusiastic fandom

if only ilx posts about the-dream were a currency

kelly's 12 play is exactly an example of how his improvisational lyrics were sometimes a benefit rather than weakness. "...check for scratches / get up on my mattress" is like my fav couplet of '09

so if kellys 12 play is the comedown what does that make let me see that booty

a bonus track

i was gonna say "waking up at 4 am to go vomit in the toilet"

lol i thought i established that 'let me see the booty' was the litmus test for dream stannery

that was true until '1977' came out

i think i have listened to "let me see the booty" once

i listened to all three of the most recent albums the other night & i still think "let me see the booty" is fucking great

i think we are all still stans though

i consider myself a 'love hate' stan more than a the-dream stan

or a the-dream as song factory stan vs. the-dream as auteur stan

^^^his next album title

"kelly's 12 play" is great as a closer but "luv songs" is even better and love/hate would have been completely perfect if it had ended with it.

i could do without "livin' a lie" that much but "mama"!!!

love/hate already has a perfect closer http://www.teslatheband.com/forums/images/smilies/Gestures/userArmsCrossed.gif xp

wow, since when did people like "mama"

'mama' is awesome fuiud

^^^^^^^^

"Mama" is maybe the anti-"Let Me See The Booty" in a litmus testy sense.

been waiting to hear tim f's thoughts on 1977, actually

I haven't downloaded it yet. I figure if I approach it super-casually I might like it more.

i can't even comprehend actively repping for "mama" above "let me see the booty", it's like none of you enjoyed crunk'n'b

Trying to associate LMSTB with "Goodies", "Oh", "I Like That", "Yeah" etc. only tarnishes the otherwise glistening reputation of those tunes.

that song is like 4 years late & generic as shit

generic isn't nec a bad thing

The release of "Fancy" is the key-change chord at the very end that leads into "Right Side of My Brain".

4 years late and actively annoying as shit. xp
