are y'all thinking what I'm thinking

what does that even mean, though? there's nothing that technologically or instrumentally complex on it that anyone w/ a professional studio couldn't pull off more or less, and the guest list isn't much more extravagant than the average major label rap album (besides "All Of The Lights," where you can't even hear most of the big names). (xpost)

i mean albums can really never be like special effects-driven movies where you really can feel or see or hear the budget in the final product in any meaningful way. that's part of why blockbuster movies are ultimately more viscerally exciting than this album, which is basically the aural equivalent of a Michael Bay movie.

so i now own this, but had to finish listening to cough's "ritual abuse" on the drive back. "ritual abuse" might well get an 8-something from me, it does not deserve a 10.0 tho

btw pitchfork obv could not bust out a 10 for an indie record; this was like there only chance to *do it up* in the last 5 years and prob will be for the next 5.
― questeon the answers (call all destroyer), Monday, 22 November 2010 18:17 (thirteen years ago) link
they probably could've done it for MPP last year.
― prolego, Monday, 22 November 2010 18:19 (thirteen years ago) link
they could have but a) i maintain they will not do it for an indie album and 2) who says that was anco's *career peak*
― questeon the answers (call all destroyer), Monday, 22 November 2010 18:21 (thirteen years ago) link
lol a) and 2)
they're betting that kanye never makes an album this good again
i think they could have done it for Funeral easily but that was quite a while ago
― ciderpress, Monday, 22 November 2010 18:23 (thirteen years ago) link
don't think you can give a 10 to a first album
― questeon the answers (call all destroyer), Monday, 22 November 2010 18:23 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, the only indie artists that I can think of that have a chance of getting a 10.0 is AnCo or mayyyyyybbbbeeee Joanna if she can come up with something better than Ys and more focused than HOOM

lol j/k
ok maybe i sounded a little bit dramatic with the word "insidious" but i just meant it in the sense of the gradual, subtle degradation of things like scores on reviews. what happens if Kanye or, god forbid, another rapper makes an album like MBDTF but clearly better in every way? will they just have to go Spinal Tap with the score since they already hit the ceiling once?

struggling to think of what this record could possibly be, or who would possibly record it

I enjoyed the new mellow hype more than this kanye joint tho. I find his albums so damn turgid, whoever it was upthread that said he was a singles dude, otm.

bought it at target this A.M. the basic version, not the deluxe.
― LAMBDA LAMBDA LANDA (Beatrix Kiddo), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:03 (thirteen years ago) link
I looked long and hard at the deluxe version before going "you know what? no"

this really isn't true - admittedly you have to sort of be a geek or have spent a lot of time with super-audio-geeks, but giant-budget albums pretty much announce themselves from their opening moments as clearly as big blockbuster movies announce themselves before the opening credits are done rolling

i just didn't have the extra scrilla, man. what'd the deluxe have?

okay this song ("Dark Fantasy") is an ongoing lol
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:13 (thirteen years ago) link
you probably shouldn't talk about how you're just a nigga with a nice flow and then go on to do what he does on the rest of that song, like rhyming "seance" with "parents"

wait did this just stop and then restart
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:15 (thirteen years ago) link
I probably should not be listening to this on my shitty work headphones as I think I'm missing half of the backing track for "Gorgeous"
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:17 (thirteen years ago) link
kanye should've let dan do the commentary track

btw if ppl are annoyed by me liveblogging my first impressions of the album, I'll move to another thread
also "Gorgeous" will eventually grow on me but it feels very static on first listen

omg the "roach"/"coach" bit, lol @ u Kanye

loooooool all those ppl who forgot about Kanye's black balls should go check whatever hip-hop site that was that had his dickpic
no, your reactions are likely to be more entertaining than the album actually
xp yeah yeah yeah
― tween-justin-bieber-riot-of-09-pandemonium-arrests-terror+tweeting (Edward III), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:20 (thirteen years ago) link
... why is there a mournful guitar solo in this song
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:21 (thirteen years ago) link
a few more embellishments and I'd be like "Santana? Is that you?"
all those ppl who forgot about Kanye's black balls
pretty sure this is the album's dedication
― tween-justin-bieber-riot-of-09-pandemonium-arrests-terror+tweeting (Edward III), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:22 (thirteen years ago) link
also for the record: the opening of "Power" is still incredibly bad-ass
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:22 (thirteen years ago) link
(kind of can't believe how a stark megalomaniacal performance with hot dancers changed my mind on this song so quickly)
― ali-baba-boob-job-bomb.jpg (DJP), Monday, 22 November 2010 19:23 (thirteen years ago) link
(tho I do stand by my original assertion that a d&b beat would have been cooler on it) (lol I should skip to the Aphex song)
if yer gonna use "21st century schizoid man" as a sting cue you better follow it up with some banging shit but I got left hanging

is the Fergie rap before or after 3:20? that's my favorite part.
