oh noes, no strings sex! odious! reprehensible! literally have no idea what u prudes are moaning about

in particular the notion that this song makes him come off poorer "as a human being" than the trite plodding idiocy of 'make up bag' or god idk a hundred other little things over the years is just laughable

i've never been too offended by the pig-talk cos none of it seemed even a little bit real to me. i'm sure he gets laid plenty but idk, the guy's kind of unattractive.

OTM. So is Ne-Yo.

what do you mean "real"? the talk is the same regardless of his PUA stats, right? do you mean that it's in character, an artistic device that says nothing about terry's actual feelings & attitudes? maybe so, but it can still be unpleasant.

or hilarious, or sexy, or w/e.

His swinishness grates when music and arrangements fail him and he looks like another wobbly-voiced asshole. I prefer the swinishness when it's encased in ballad form, cuz he tends to self-absorption (i.e. what she is doing to him) instead of lashing out.

i mean with a lot of other singers who say this kind of shit it either seems like a crazy story they are getting into, or it has some basis in life. with T i just get the feeling that he's basically lying to me. i'm like, fuck out of here man that didn't happen. i don't know why, just, all the women he sings about feel a bit 'canadian girlfriend' to me.

i feel like new the-dream after a few years of listening to him all starts to sound like a retread of the best songs on the first record

I'm not sure if I just have Dream fatigue or if he has actually fell off but this "body work/fuck my brains out" song is v. dull

body work was pretty dull, at this point in my life I just can't accept another the-dream falsetto

I used to think Ne-Yo was muy sexy until I saw him without a hat. :/

the phrasing of the lyrics on fmbo totally reminds me of prince, the way he pauses between each line, the downward lilt, etc.

feel like I don't need to have a strong opinion on the-dream anymore tho

def. hoping for something *fresh* from him on love iv

fuck it i would still w with an album of retreads tho

the thing is i really don't mind it when terius doesn't bother with ~songcraft~, concentrating on ridic goonish punchlines and sweetspot production satusfies me immensely cuz they're kind of terius stripped to his essence. like one of my fav the-dream songs will always be "hit it on the road" which encapsulates a ton of what i love about him

the smoke cloud of pure hatred (lex pretend), Thursday, 9 June 2011 08:23 (1 year ago) Permalink

re: his lying, i dont think gravitas has ever been one of his strongpoints - his weakness as a singer/someone who can convey believable emotion is kind of both his achilles heel (yo dream! stick to producing etc) and what makes ppl seem to love him so much.

smh @ u dudes saying his career has peaked before the new bieber album has even dropped

lol uhhh wait, you lads are coming out with this blasé uninspired retread stuff only now after love king?? these two songs are so much more switched-on than that stuff i can't even

r|t|c, Thursday, 9 June 2011 09:34 (1 year ago) Permalink

even on the level of preaching to the converted (which i don't necessarily dispute) theyre infinitely more satisfying

r|t|c, Thursday, 9 June 2011 09:37 (1 year ago) Permalink

I said the same thing about some songs on love king it's just something that gets worse w time and continued repititions of the formula. Really surprised you think these are some big step above love king, feels like same old same old to me

lebroner (D-40), Thursday, 9 June 2011 14:42 (1 year ago) Permalink

Like I was willing to write my dampening enthusiasm off to my own fatigue circa love king, at this pt it just feels unavoidable

lebroner (D-40), Thursday, 9 June 2011 14:44 (1 year ago) Permalink

yeah idk, like i say i'm still coming to this from within the morbid terius bubble - i'm not nearly as invested as i was with the lvm material - but the general point is that this has got me back in the bubble to begin with

do think it's a bit sloppy to say "with time and continued repetitions" though, it's obviously the quality of the repetition we're disagreeing over rather than just some sort of automatic ennui kicking in

fwiw i was referring purely to his career as a solo performer -- dream and tricky aren't producing smashes as often as they used to but i don't doubt they could turn out rihanna or beyonce or usher's next #1

no. i came in very late, circa LK, and loved nearly everything on that record. went back and listened to the early stuff and found it all a bit samey when taken at once, but at least of equal quality. like both of these new tracks now that i've spent some time with them, but there's a noticable drop in immediate, jaw-on-the-floor quality. something's off...

And the piano, it sounds like a carnivore (contenderizer), Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:32 (1 year ago) Permalink

Again, i don't think either of these will be on the album so i'm not really worried about the kind of throw-away nature of them.

Number None, Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:35 (1 year ago) Permalink

yeah there is a single he's gonna play on monday. so who knows what these two are; they are freebies.

stately, plump bunk moreland (schlump), Thursday, 9 June 2011 17:38 (1 year ago) Permalink

naturally i have already steeled myself for them turning out to be lk session offcuts

really is - i've been jamming to it all day. love the final coda. hear a lot of the grinding, machinelike beatwork of the "love vs money"s in body work.

pearsonic, Friday, 10 June 2011 02:32 (1 year ago) Permalink

the vocals on the verses of "body work" are pretty unusual by his standards & yeah i dig all the grinding & whirring of the beat

J0rdan S., Friday, 10 June 2011 02:36 (1 year ago) Permalink

Yeah. I've now listened to Body Work and Fuck My Brains Out 18 and 36 times respectively, so I guess I dig this.
