Nothing useful to say here.

Is it me or is that album title as wonky as hell?

We should have called Suzie and Bobby (NickB), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:17 (fourteen years ago) link

Nobody looks that high on the cover to notice

Pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:18 (fourteen years ago) link

Mariah's always been wonky!

People just voting for anything Terius related, and this one's grasping at straws.

I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:20 (fourteen years ago) link

Yeah, pretty much. I reserved my votes for his two more deserving projects.

so much worse than 08.

wow i really didn't expect mariah to place - very happy it did - i don't think either emancipation or e=mc2 did, and they were both much more commercial, immediate, pop-friendly affairs, whereas this one may as well be subtitled "strictly for mariah fans". maybe the-dream's involvement pulled some on board? i think it's a really great, satisfying album; mariah's ability to deliver real talk seems to be oddly correlated to her willingness to deliver self-parody; almost as if the more of a cartoon of herself she is, the more intimate and honest she sounds. also, she's fucking funny throughout, and the-dream coming over all restrained and velvet-pillows-of-layered-vocals on us is very effective. "shower of feathers" about covers it.

jj - was disappointed by, there's wispy, drifting balearica that compels you to return to it (meanderthals) and then there's wispy balearica that drifts through you completely. b'ring.

gave neko case a good try as i really love her voice, if not always her songs, but nothing stuck with me; it's not a patch on blacklisted imo. still, great voice.

um, Mariah is fucking awesome, losers.

nb i am not going to defend the mariah album cover

لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:23 (fourteen years ago) link

Hopefully some good stuff to come. Last year I discovered a few really good albums I hadnt heard because of the poll and quite a few things I liked charted too. But Baroness & Neko Case are the only ones so far.

Mind you, some peoples worst poll results are someones best poll ever.

bullshit, some of us were voting for mariah albums way before she met terius - and yes she is and always has been awesome, LOSERS

Hey, I liked her two previous albums, but a spade is a spade.

that neko placing is just about right - it's a nice album but really drags toward the end. def support her though

pleased that mariah placed and look forward to more people who don't listen to r&b commenting negatively on it

fucking chatty cathy doll of an album

da Condom FATHER (some dude), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:38 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah you know mariah would probably take that as a pretty high compliment

لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:40 (fourteen years ago) link

love the album but don't really share the love for that line

my favorite by far is "ribbon", then "obsessed" and "more than just friends"

vag gangsta (k3vin k.), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:42 (fourteen years ago) link

That one line is some next level humpty dumpty shit imo

We should have called Suzie and Bobby (NickB), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:42 (fourteen years ago) link

I think that's kind of the point.

GRIZZLY! GRRR! GRRR! So Indie Entertaaaaiiiinmeeent! (The Reverend), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:43 (fourteen years ago) link

my favourites are "ribbon" and "the impossible", but i think "betcha gon know" and "up out my face" are more likely to find favour with mariah novices

لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:44 (fourteen years ago) link

"the impossible" is basically on a par with "you don't know what love is" and dâm-funk's album for space-age pimp vox ~vibesing out~~~~

لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:44 (fourteen years ago) link

ha i wouldn't recommend "betcha gon know" to anyone other than a terius stan - al's "the-dream karaoke" is otm about that song

still love it obv

vag gangsta (k3vin k.), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:45 (fourteen years ago) link

oh ok go on then

لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:45 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah "the impossible" was an early dud but i really warmed to it

vag gangsta (k3vin k.), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:46 (fourteen years ago) link

I love 'Obsessed' with a passion.

لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:55 (fourteen years ago) link

did 'Obsessed' drop too early to place in any of the '09 singles polls, bcz its absence was pretty glaring....

ha! (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 11 February 2010 23:55 (fourteen years ago) link

The loved the Mariah album. Subtle, but not boring at all, imo

Witch Cults never quite clicked with me, seemed to be too many twiddly bits and not enough songs. Bits of it are great though.

what i had no idea broadcast released anything this year!!! what's it like vis à vis their older stuff (specifically "come on let's go" and haha sound), people who've heard it?

miranda lambert album is good, but not GREAT like crazy ex-girlfriend (maybe i didn't give it enough of a chance?)
