everything being pastiched in the song is things Prince also pastiched as opposed to things Prince invented imo; it's like saying some standard '70s arena rock pastiche was "so Guided By Voices" or something.

some dude, can you put out a call for a similar edit to MBDTF? would love a version of that w/o the bullshit.
― alpine static, Monday, 25 March 2013 19:22 (eleven years ago) link
that would end up being just be 5 minutes of music and remove most of the point of MBDTF

haha oh man I was enjoying "Don't Hold the Line" and then the beat switched up and I'm sitting here going "wtf is the point of this"
― Darth Icky (DJP), Monday, 25 March 2013 19:25 (eleven years ago) link
thanks to that little digital sound effect in the beat for "Strawberry Bubblegum" I keep wanting to sing "Clumsy" over the chorus

Rick's brief part of Monster looped for 40 minutes would hit the spot, tbh

i haven't combed the album's thread, i imagine that verse is reviled, but i like it
― alpine static, Monday, 25 March 2013 19:31 (eleven years ago) link
if you can call it a verse
I like that verse cause it's like he's just the herald coming in on some "HEAR YE HEAR YE" (pun only slightly intended) shit
― cunnilingus ah um (The Reverend), Monday, 25 March 2013 19:38 (eleven years ago) link
really dig "Spaceship Coupe" too
so far I have really enjoyed when he's been signalling Prince to me and the main part of "Suit and Tie"
this trend is holding true with the beginning of "That Girl"
― Darth Icky (DJP), Monday, 25 March 2013 19:49 (eleven years ago) link
lol "Mirrors"
I am rebelling against everyone else in this thread and humming Kelly Clarkson over this instead of Beyonce

here's an easy way to edit MBDTF:
delete everything except tracks 1, 2 and 8
― A$AP Rovi (J0rdan S.), Monday, 25 March 2013 20:13 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah everyone: listen to "Don't Rush" instead.
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 25 March 2013 20:16 (eleven years ago) link
that was fun
probably not buying this, or ever playing it again
np: The Cure - "The Real Snow White"

outro of "don't hold the wall" is my new fav part of this album

have to say, as much as i love timbo, his signature kick drum samples and clacky snares don't really blend with the rest of the production at points. it's kind of endearing but also distracting.

I have just started to listen to dress on. it's kinda cool, actually. it's a bit different from the rest of the tracks.at this point, the only tracks I don't like a lot are "spaceship" and "pusher".and I can see "spaceship" corny prince ballad aspect grow on me at some point.
right now, I love the guitar lick from "that girl".and I even like "mirrors", especially the part after the a capella break when it comes back in, before the outro. lovely.

I like Strawberry Bubblegum, and it does take the "coming to get something to get nuthin"" from "All Day Sucker"

yes we did -- we recorded the experience of listening to "Mirrors"

and like, the electric guitar coming in ... he definitely listened to 4 a bunch

my coworker's three reactions to this album:
(1) "what is this song?" [i told her, strawberry bubblegum] "i think he just ... didn't know what to write"
(2) "this album is so random"
(3) "this song makes me want to eat mexican food" (let the groove get in)

Starting to hear "Mirrors" on radio and it's in the top ten. They didn't wait very long to add it with "Suit and Tie" still high on the charts.
― timellison, Friday, 19 April 2013 03:58 (eleven years ago) link
relistened to "sign" recently and forgot how much i like that song
― H-E-double-s1ockisticks (forksclovetofu), Friday, 19 April 2013 06:05 (eleven years ago) link
listening to the radio is impossible now. the other day "suit & tie" was on one station so i had to switch it, only to hear "mirrors" on the next one. so i switched that one to a third station, which was also playing "suit & tie". all my other presets were on commercials so i gave up and popped in a cd. life is tuff.
