This song never gets old. I've probably listened to it 500 times in the last four years.
ok see now i hate the fuck out of that song xpost hahaha whoops
― Kool G. Frap (jjjusten), Thursday, 1 July 2010 18:35 (thirteen years ago) link
i rate "fireworks" as the canon animal collective song, altho i did not vote for it
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 1 July 2010 18:37 (thirteen years ago) link
imo "maneater" is far, far inferior to "promiscuous" and "say it right"
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 1 July 2010 18:38 (thirteen years ago) link
maneater is inferior to say it right, but i like it a lot more than promiscuous

that makes five songs so far that have made it...awesome!
imo all the big singles from that album are boring and i only really fuck with "no hay igual" and "all good things" -- but i totally realize i am chilling alone in challop canyon there

Five for me too.

My favorite Nelly Furtado song from 2006 was relegated to b-side status: "Undercover"
But since it was on the "Maneater" single, that was one of my favorite one-two punches of the year.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 1 July 2010 18:43 (thirteen years ago) link
say it right >>> no hay igual >>> promiscuous >>> maneater
but i still really like "maneater"! that grinding bass. the verses are better than the chorus.

Voted for this Fever Ray track as well. Such a great slow burn. Unlike with some artists, who wear their influences on their sleeves (e.g. Gaga, LCD, The-Dream), I enjoy hearing subtle allusions to other work on this track; KDA really doesn't sound like anyone else. The intro synth chords sort of recall George Michael's Father Figure to me; and some of her melodies bring to mind Kate Bush or an introverted Cyndi Lauper (especially on Seven).

?! The chorus is an explosion of cyborg sex awesomeness! xp
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 1 July 2010 18:45 (thirteen years ago) link
xxp i don't know...i also love the grinding bass on the verses (actually it kinda reminds me of The Fall), but that's a killer chorus, and I love how the verses and chorus are subtly out-of-sync with each other...it's a thrilling track!!!

Maneater is definitely the song that made me get into that album...and then she dropped Say It Right, and it was all over...

there was a better "when i grow up" that was released b/w 05-09 but i don't htink it was nominated
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 1 July 2010 18:47 (thirteen years ago) link
oh i like the chorus, i just LOVE the verses - they feel so taut and tense, about to pounce
xps

and i think nom'd it
"Maneater" didn't even place in the 2006 poll! "Sexyback" was #11.

Catching up - that Jackie Chain song is wonderful, going to be my song of the summer I suspect.
Never really agreed with the drunken mumbling thing on MES, yes he does that, but he also does crisp-as-a-poppadom stuff, flow very much like ODB imo, can hold up a rhythm and then dive down in to it, smear all over it and then give it a kick up the backside. Anyhow, mustn't go on. (popularit of anco is a mystery to me, mind).
many xposts.

xp Loose>>>>>>>>>>>>the stuff I've heard from FutureSex/LoveSounds...I mean, I voted for four Nelly Furtado tracks, and no Timberlake tracks, and that's slightly bogus...I SHOULD have voted for What Goes Around and Love Stoned, but still, to these ears, Nelly's stuff with Timbaland is way cooler than Justin's.

― ripe dink (some dude), Thursday, 1 July 2010 18:58 (thirteen years ago) link
I only voted for one, and not either of the tracks that have shown. (Only artists I voted for two tracks from were Beyonce and Lil Wayne.)
― The Reverend, Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:00 (thirteen years ago) link
that's a well-placed 'ugh', some dude...
― is this the end of zombie Shakespeare? (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:01 (thirteen years ago) link
Would probably have voted for both of the Kanyes that have shown up and none of the others. But there'll be at least one more to come, I bet.
― emil.y, Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:01 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't think i voted for "can't tell me nothing" but it's hold up really well imo
― hell hath no furry (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:02 (thirteen years ago) link
it has one of the weakest sloppiest lamest most poorly assembled beats i've ever heard on a hit rap song, it's just so ungainly and awkward
― ripe dink (some dude), Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:05 (thirteen years ago) link
the MIDI organ, the choppy vocal sample with the cheap-sounding filter, the way the ride cymbal hits are practically louder than the snare, it's an unlistenable mess
― ripe dink (some dude), Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:06 (thirteen years ago) link
That Kanye is ok (Love Lockdown is ugh) but it sounds completely obvious in 2010. Lol at Will Oldham though.
― seandalai, Thursday, 1 July 2010 19:06 (thirteen years ago) link
i actually voted for it, i like it for some reason. also my bonnie prince billy stanism probably figured into it but i can't help it.

I just want to publicly apologize for not including "Shine Blockas" in my ballot...I hadn't heard it, but that's no excuse; y'all were frothing about it in 2009 Tracks poll...I'm truly and deeply sorry.

LOVE "rehab", especially now enough time has passed since its ubiquity that i can appreciate it again. such a classic pop single. (didn't vote for it though! this is becoming a pattern, this is how tough the trax ballot was for me. nearly voted "back to black" but again, er, didn't. i mean all these songs i didn't vote for are still easy 10/10s.)
