Sorry, that sounded a bit Tuomas, didn't it?

Nevermind.

The idea that the Vonnegut chorus is remotely out of place on a album where one of the track begins with fucking grunge guitar is ridiculous. If he actually sounded like one of the dudes from Wheatus or Blink 182 I'd understand but it's a pretty nondescript voice. If it was a sample or just some session musician guy no one would bat an eyelid.

I mean I know Whiney is bending over backwards not to look like a corny indie fuck here but there's such a thing as trying too hard.

the guitar gets buried by hard beats pretty quickly though, and that chorus is unavoidable

If it was a sample or just some session musician guy no one would bat an eyelid.

as far as i knew it was just some session musician guy, it still sticks out as being all radio rock (compared to every other singer on the record)

too be fair, i'll still take a Vonnneggutt chorus over the roots fucking with blog-rock any day

yeah when i heard it i had zero idea it was some dude from vonegutt and i still don't really know who vonegutt is.

it sounds like bad active rock radio type singing which i imagine is exactly what vonegutt is.

yeah, no one is purporting to know/care who vonnegutt is.

i'm pretty sure they're big boi's fuzzbubble or spymob

Yep. Fourth google result mentions "Purple Ribbon Records Artist Vonnegutt".

Lol

First song on their MySpace is called "Bright Eyes".

"Here's an unlikely recipe: Take classic emcee skills and dope lyrics, add pop sensibility and rock energy. Stir. Sprinkle a dash of inspiration from a literary icon. What do you get? Vonnegutt."

hahahahahha

Um heytards I know whiney wasn't dissing b. bunch maybe read the post right after it??

Shutterbug is way better??

Y'all going out of yr way to make me seem crazy lately or what

I guessusually its just al being disingenuous about amy winehouse or w/e but still, my post was not hard to parse

im totally underwhelmed by this album. i like 4 songs enough to go back more than a few times though

I think I might like Turns Me On best.

my bad deej, i totally glazed past that post

I would love to hear the collaboration he's angling for at the end of this article

so would i, but when he says he's looking for her, i just think...yeah, you and the whole rest of the world too.

vonnegutt song = the kid cudi effect

so would i, but when he says he's looking for her, i just think...yeah, you and the whole rest of the world too.

ha at me assuming this automatically meant lauryn hill

i got an email from some promoters/PRs the other day informing me: "Lauren Hill avaiable for Concert or PA bookings!"

:(

book her!

I would love to hear the collaboration he's angling for at the end of this article

he has been saying this in interviews since 2003

This album has only one bad song and it's "The Train pt II"

RONG, that is easily in my top ten. I think, as of right now, "Night Night" is the weakest link for me.

Not sure if there has already been talk about the "Shine Blockas" remix with Bun B and Project Pat on the deluxe edition, but it rubs me the wrong way by being SUCH a lazy "remix". I mean, it essentially just pastes in Bun and Pat's verses, leaving Big's original verse in. Bun's verse is killer though.

I'm glad you've finally heard a remix on a rap record

I know you really enjoy hating on me at every opportunity, but this one is even lazier than most.

It's just zings, bro. Don't take it seriously! I don't mean to hate on u at all

I was just disappointed in the remix is all, seeing Bun listed on there is what made me shell out the 2 extra bucks for the "deluxe version" in the first place.

they took out gucci's verse too!

Yeah, I meant to mention that part. I just felt like that song could have had such a great remix by keeping Gucci and tossing in those two other guys.

i never know why songs have like 3 dif remix versions. I'd like to hear just one long version with everyone, hahaha

"The Train Pt 2" is a good song! "Follow Us" is by default the worst song because of the Worst Chorus Of The Year.

I played this through once and it's great; I am certain it's going to cement itself on subsequent plays but right now I'm kind of in M.I.A. land

yeah i haven't heard it at all but i'm ready to backlash against the backlash

there's a bit of a dip for me between You Aint No DJ and Shine Blockas

^^^^^^, and "Lookin' 4 Ya" would've been a nice change of pace, but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Re: That theory of Tracy Chapman, based on nothing other than her live and studio renditions of "O Holy Night," maybe she should have made all concert albums.

because of the enthusiasm in this thread i broke down and bought a copy. i was a huge fan of 'Kast a while back, but not as much Speakerboxx/Love Below. what's the production/Boi's flow like in relation to his Outkast work? and moreso is this gonna make me not wanna listen to other music for a week?

big boi's flow is big boi's flow for the most part, it's not a real break with how he's rapped his whole career.

cool. well i ain't picked it up yet but i'm lookin' forward to it

WOW.

This is hot fire. like this is nothing like i expected it might sound like, in a major good way. the production is so expansive and awesome...can't really do this album justice with words other than it just FEELS like a party.

i put off getting this mostly as I was in an east coast mood these last few weeks but this is welcome, most welcome.

point me at other Lil Jon songs that sound like Hustle Blood plz

its got buzzsaw synths, a clean toned higher melodic line, thumping drums - these are all trademarks of his style. doesn't sound to me like it would be out of place on Crunk Juice, tbh. what do you hear about it that's unusual?

One Night Stand is a bit similar

xp "Its got buzzsaw synths, a clean toned higher melodic line, thumping drums" could refer to 65-75% of what's on pop/hip hop/rnb radio for over a decade; that's a bit of a broad brush.
For the sake of your argument, if I compare Get Crunk (which has some of the same DNA)to Hustle Blood the former has a great deal more subtlety, depth, sinew, ominous grind and delicacy to my ears.

YMMV I guess, but I'm of the opinion that this is the best production I've heard from Jon in years.
