internet descrip

think i'm just gonna rename my browser this, just as a reminder, like labeling all the whiskey "hangover juice"

i just caught up on this thread, you guys are nuts

"power"/"all of the lights"/"monster" sequence >> oasis' be here now >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest of this kanye album

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NtqA5zywQA

i just caught up on this thread, you guys are nuts

all of the lights is horrible

You guys, this thread had been dormant for five days.

not anymore!

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

gonna start a band named "monster sequence" and call our first album power all of the lights, see if anyone notices

Starting with "Power" and skipping "Devil in a New Dress" makes this a much, much better album.

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

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

ilxor completely otm

why doesnt djp like 'devil'? best beat on teh album imo

i love dis album lots. one of my top ten of the year. ILX just haters. well except for like a few of yas.

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.

absolutely, that Nelly song sucks

err wrong thread i think

This album has high points and low points but there's def no skippable tracks on it.

this statement is FUCKIN RIDICKOLOUS

dilemma is better than most of this album iirc

My Beautiful Dark Skippable Fantasy

^^^^^ most of ILX's.

ILX has fetishes about skipping cds they don't like?

skippable fantasies

>>~~~~~~~~

m@tt otm about "dilemma"!!

why doesnt djp like 'devil'? best beat on teh album imo

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.

ilx collectively listens to mbdtf

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.

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.

maybe he means "users of the internet"

yeah, that would make sense. though it's notable that ilm is so broadly out of step with that (a step ahead obv).

Nicki Minaj on Monster ...damn. This album is good imo, but not the second coming some users seem to think it is.

the "Use Your Illusion" comparisons upthread are really otm (tho there were alot more good songs on those albums)

mmmmaybe, but the ratio's in kanye's favor

still haven't heard a note of this, every time I try to find a dl copy of it the file's been removed. lord knows I'm not giving Kanye any of my fucking money (Ghostface is another matter)

also can someone explain why something that is supposed to be so HUGE is not on MTV, like, at all?

youtube is the new mtv.

eh I hate listening to shit on my computers speakers

youtube is the new mtv.

Oh yeah, tell that to ubiquitous number one single "Fuck You" by Cee-Lo

bad romance has 322,826,092 views on YouTube

"Fuck You" does not, but that is not YouTube's fault

Oh yeah, tell that to ubiquitous number one single "Fuck You" by Cee-Lo

was a #1 hit?

no

oh sorry forgot america is the world. was a top ten hit.

Oh yeah, tell that to ubiquitous number one single "Fuck You" by Cee-Lo

haha i had no idea whiney intended for this to be sarcastic cuz it kinda WAS a ubiquitous no 1 hit

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
