its pretty amazing that this hasnt leaked yet. i feel like i should commend MIA and XL. this is almost MORE fun in that were having to wait like the good ol pre-internet days.

I would say this album is definitely one of the highly anticipated albums of the year, especially if you multiply the number of people doing the anticipating vs. the intensity of their anticipation (and then divide that by 7).

Wow, this hasn't leaked? I had assumed it had by all the times this has been at the top. In fact it could almost have been released by the looks of it!

This track is really good.

I am annoying and just bumping this to make people cry.

This track *is* really good. Couldn't figure out what the bassline was reminding me of, and then I thought "Blue Monday".
― Spencer Chow, Sunday, 29 July 2007 23:42 (5 years ago) Permalink
Awesome track!

brilliant deduction, spencer...

The whole thing has leaked minus Paper Planes, so look around for it. Its so fucking good! Far more diverse and experimental than Arular. Jimmy is really weird on first listen, its so strange to hear Maya all breathy and girly. Bamboo Banger and Hussel are really dark and menacing, reminds me of Silent Shout a little.

i look forward to hearing this but don't give a shit when that actually is - does that make sense?
― blueski, Monday, 30 July 2007 09:50 (5 years ago) Permalink
who produced 20 dollar? the beat is AMAZING. MIA sounds a bit ropey on it but hey... hope theres some fast tracks on the album like bucky done gun.

xpost, this is how I feel.

there's a link in here to download what mia is covering for "jimmy." i like it better than her version.

omg this album is so fucking good

how the fuck did afrikan boy get on there? that one song of his was unbearably awful.

Couldn't figure out what the bassline was reminding me of, and then I thought "Blue Monday".
Also couldn't figure out what the lyrics were reminding me of, and then I thought "Where Is My Mind?"

I can't have been the only one to notice the "straight to hell" riff at the forefront of Paper Planes, can I?
― elmo argonaut, Monday, 30 July 2007 17:56 (5 years ago) Permalink
nope
― mitya, Monday, 30 July 2007 20:34 (5 years ago) Permalink
Paper Planes is insane. There's also some kind of Roadrunner reference on Bamboo Banger.

itunes + vista = suckfest
seriously. it took a half hour just to get the files onto my ipod. can't wait to get back home to my desktop.

Looking forward to hearing this 2nite.

so, i'm the only one that thinks jimmy is really dumb and annoying?. maybe it'll grow on me or something.
― funny farm, Monday, 30 July 2007 22:36 (5 years ago) Permalink
I love it...Although I probably prefer the original.

dear god, is there anything i can do for you? that free album download sounds harrowing.
― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 01:20 (5 years ago) Permalink
haha..... jeez, i did make myself seem a bit like a douche, there.
― funny farm, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 04:29 (5 years ago) Permalink
well, actually i wasn't complaining about the album download. i was complaining about vista and itunes not working properly with eachother. but, i gues it's all the same.
― funny farm, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 04:33 (5 years ago) Permalink
The show was *really good*!
― Spencer Chow, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 08:46 (5 years ago) Permalink
I'm having a hard time getting used to her out of tune shrieking - so much so that I listened to Arular again and I found it hard to like anew too, even. :-/
― StanM, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 08:53 (5 years ago) Permalink
Seconded.
OMG. What a way to end a set! I just checked this thread to see what that song was called. Also, did she do the full lyric to "Where is My Mind?" I could only decipher the chourus. And the slowed-down "Blue Monday" bassline sounded so good it makes me wonder how nobody's thought of it before.

this album is the absolute shit.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 13:32 (5 years ago) Permalink
this is shaping up to be the most postively talked-up ilm record so far this year amirite?
― pisces, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 13:38 (5 years ago) Permalink
man. this is amazing. huge respect.
― ^@^, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 14:07 (5 years ago) Permalink
on a couple of listens last night this sounded fantastic - i'm wary of the whole reviewing the album 10 minutes after the leak thing, but most of the complaints i've seen about this have been claiming that it lacks tunes/dancibility, which seems like nonsense to me.

Didn't like Bamboo Banga. Haven't hear the rest yet.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 14:25 (5 years ago) Permalink
its not flawless
but fuck me if this album does not shit on the competition from a great height

i call it "bhangra space crunk"

I am also having douchebaggy troubles with getting my stolen album to play. Won't import into iTunes, Windows Media Player won't have it, can't even import it into Audacity.
Any suggestions, anyone?

yes. stop calling yourself 'BIG HOOS'.
