this isn't like, one of his best 20 songs or anything, but it's got a tune and the production is there, it's an encouraging sign given the majority of his solo shit over the past year and a good song in its own right

i don't even dislike this thing, nor am i off the teriuswagon, but it's not even as good as "body work" let alone "fuck my brains out"

"body work" is the nadir of post-golden age thin, tuneless terius

I just think this song is enough to imply that his new project is going to be in the same vein and maybe as good as Love King. This is good news for people that thought '77 was an OH NO DONT DO THAT moment. Its a bit of a relief, like ok he hasn't lost it... phew. Its a serviceable jam that may get a little more praise than it should due to the above reasons.

Still like it even though it is his worst one (besides that other one)
― Youncle Buck (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Monday, 9 January 2012 06:40 (1 year ago) Permalink
saying its his 'worst album' (i assume you're excluding 1977 which is 10x worse) is arguable at best -- there's no universe in which it's a definitive loser in that race. imho.

Yeah, I love all three, just like Lk a tiny bit less than the other 2 atm. I pretend 77 isnt there.

i do not really have the facts to back this but this song kinda blows imo. it's satisfying that it's occupying that kind of sonic zone he excels in, but i feel like the song isn't even there; he usually - on the dream records - has such distinctive phrasing, part of what makes so many of the insane metaphor couplets so memorable, & this just feels like autopilot. wasn't surm talking about the uselessness of 'roc'-centric jams, recently. also rooting for something because it ~might~ ~possibly~ ~portend~ a return to form just reminds me of being 16 and being really invested in when my favourite shitty band was gonna get good again. also it kinda reminds me of justin bieber, idk. i like the first minute of the weird squishy outro but the song is really lazy to me & the only satisfaction i can get out of it is that it is the-dream & i like the way those records feel.
