And if you don't get why I brought up Parts + Labor, I really can't help you. I mean it's such an easy, easy concept to grasp.

should probably just keep my trap shut, but for the record, I'm pretty sure I've only brought up a certain band twice on ILX. once when its singer was giving me shit for not liking an article by sfj he couldn't bother to read himself, once when the guy couldn't understand why everyone didn't share his "you must respect all megasuccessful songwriters" sentiment. and however impolitic or unnecessary it was to suggest how occupation could influence an argumentative stance (1st time was an annoyed, defensive gesture, the 2nd just a crack on everybody in the thread, don't plan on there being a 3rd), I really didn't say anything about the combo itself.

The release of the album has apparently been delayed to 4th October?

It's on iTunes now.

Salem's FB page says it was released today.
on emusic today, too.

Listening to it for the first time now. Pretty incredible I have to say...but maybe a bit too much for me. I feel slightly nauseous TBH. I don't think I can listen to the whole thing from start to finish.

Physical copies delayed one week, I guess (according to Rough Trade in the UK; maybe it came out in the States physically this week?)

It's about as divisive album as I can think of in recent memory. There are going to be some who hail it as revolutionary and others who call it a crude joke. I'm going to guess they'll give it a 7.9 or something like that just because it's too risky to get behind.

I have 5:2 odds they mention Andrew WK in the review, or that Ryan is stumping for this comparison.

i still like this album a bunch. i listened to it today three times in a row at work after not hearing it for a long time and it sounded just as good to me as it did months ago. i like it for reasons of nowness AND nostalgia. it makes me think about how much i love southern hip hop AND it makes me remember how much i loved clan of xymox when i was 17. and it doesn't sound ANYTHING like ed banger/justice shit that i hate which is a big plus. (though that stuff is probably completely passe by now anyway. just using that as an example of internet sensation) and it doesn't sound like dubstep. which bores the hell out of me. especially supposed "dark" dubstep. (diplo-curated dubstep comp i got in the mail has to be one of the worst things i've heard all year. except for the lil jon song on it. which just sounds exactly like a lil jon song.)

bought the record and haven't listened to it all the way through, but I'm gonna guess P4k goes w/ an 8.4 BNM
― markers, Wednesday, 6 October 2010 02:42 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm going to call a 6.4 from P4k.

Okay, so I'm finally actually listening to this and I'm now wishing I hadn't had my first experience with the band be that laughable Fader Fort thing. Because this is actually pretty interesting stuff. I won't call it brilliant or anything, but there is a distinct vibe that I haven't really heard explored in this way before. I'm certainly enjoying the listen, but I could live without the dude. I like the tracks with the female vocals as the focus much more.

Dusted review was pretty good except for the part where he suggests that a certain synth sound on the title track was an explicit reference to a Hipster Runoff post

Dusted review is good when it gets going. First three pars are just pointless. No one needs a running commentary on the commentary on the commentary in a review. Just tell us something interesting about the record. (Which he does. Shame he didn't spend more of the text getting to the business in hand.)
