yea i have no idea why but i really like that video. "pow pow" was one of my favorite songs on the record, maybe that has something to do with it

Anybody heard the London Sessions or the Alexandra Palace thing?
― Gukbe, Friday, 12 November 2010 21:57 (thirteen years ago) link
London Sessions is alright. Nice version of Get Innocuous.

I haven't felt the urge to play anything on this album since a few weeks after it leaked. Complete dud, imo. Sound of Silver covered all the ground this one covered but better every step of the way.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 30 November 2010 21:41 (thirteen years ago) link
it's held up for me, and a lot of the songs have really grown...i think the only thing holding it back is the sound of the record. the tones of most of the instruments (drums especially, i guess) are on the generic side, not as huge as on the s/t or as raw & vintage-y as on SoS.

Opening track, I Can Change, and closing track are as good as anything he's done, and Drunk Girls is great fun. Everything else here is good. It's better than the debut for me, but not quite as outstanding as SOS.
― Captain Ostensible (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 21:49 (thirteen years ago) link
I play way more songs off of this than I do off of SoS, which I edited down to an amazing 4 track EP

I completely agree with this. I still get a lot of This Is Happening, it will be very high in my albums of the year list.
― Kitchen Person, Tuesday, 30 November 2010 21:54 (thirteen years ago) link
i'll have to get sound of silver, i dig this so far.
― kl0pper city in the ghetto (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:27 (thirteen years ago) link
S0S has four songs that are way better than this and a bunch of ignorable shit on it
― Yeezy reupholstered my pussy (DJP), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:39 (thirteen years ago) link
or it's wall-to-wall awesome. only one way to find out!

DJP, is your 4 track SOS EP: Get Innocuous, Someone Great, All My Friends and Us V. Them?
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Get Innocuous, North American Scum, Someone Great, Us V Them
I really, really really REALLY hate "All My Friends"
― Yeezy reupholstered my pussy (DJP), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:46 (thirteen years ago) link
think yr kinda on yr own there

it's a position I'm used to
― Yeezy reupholstered my pussy (DJP), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:47 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, North American Scum is a gimmicky bullshit track just like Drunk Girls. They're both pointless and annoying.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:48 (thirteen years ago) link
and also awesome
― bows don't kill people, arrows do (Jordan), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:49 (thirteen years ago) link
North American Scum is the fun parts of Daft Punk Is Playing At My House with the irritating sections removed and a fun "NORTH AMERICAN!" chant thrown in
― Yeezy reupholstered my pussy (DJP), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:49 (thirteen years ago) link
good Prince title imo

Walking around Greektown and the UIC campus in Chicago last month on a crazy windy day while listening to this really opened up the album to me. I like it better than the debut (I gather we're not including the second disk of singles there) & yeah, I think I'd put it on before Sound of Silver at this point. also lol @ "this is like a record that is for people with Good Taste In Music" & that was pretty much exactly what I thought on that day in Chicago (& naturally felt kinda self-congratulat-y which is a good feeling to afford yourself once in a while, delusionally or not).

but don't you hate everything they've ever done?
― bows don't kill people, arrows do (Jordan), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:56 (thirteen years ago) link
no
some of their songs are ok...Yeah, Get Innocuous and Someone Great really have good things about them...but All My Friends, just no.
would complain about this being the sound of mediocrity winning but it ain't worth the argument now, they're gone, and the million copyists will have to be fought instead
― rmad and dangerous (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 22:59 (thirteen years ago) link
lj/djp bitter hatred of that song is inexplicable to the point of lol
i can understand the cale cover, the hua hsu (iirc) exegesis and other tributes seeming excessive, and the central piano motif will irritate some people
and yet ppl hate it worse than cancer & hitler
― lex eduction horror (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 23:02 (thirteen years ago) link
hey lj i don't think yr old enough to appreciate the sentiment of all my friends, tbh
djp, otoh, uh, is, v much.
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 23:06 (thirteen years ago) link
forgetting the lyrics entirely, it has a keening preening manipulative tweeness and a strict, stupefying adherence to the melodic/narrative tenets of new order that drive me to dislike exceptionally quickly - it's big and cloying and inevitable
― gospodin sim gishel (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 23:09 (thirteen years ago) link
I loved the second one but I never, ever want to play it whereas this one gets constant rotation. It's a victory lap record like Graduation: "Drunk Girls" is a better "North American Scum," "Home" a superior "All My Friends," and "Dance Yrself Clean" just breathtaking on its own merits.
― look at it, pwn3d, made u look at my peen/vadge (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 23:11 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i haven't listened to this in a minute, but i still totally love it. alfred otm re all those tracks
― BIG MUFFIN (gbx), Tuesday, 30 November 2010 23:11 (thirteen years ago) link
the quick lil in studio live thing they put out a few weeks ago is really great imo -- nothing jaw dropping of course but it's cool to hear them tweak songs around a bit + recording is hi-fi
it has this super funky take on "daft punk" that is pretty much the only recording of the song that i can stomach atm

i would probably say they're the best live band i've ever seen too.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 30 November 2010 23:32 (thirteen years ago) link
No complaints about the band; like I said many xposts ago, I couldn't shake how awkwardly Murphy embraced his front man status, and not in a cool way.

Too many times he was out of breath shouting in the microphone -- just another pudgy guy in a T-shirt.
you should've closed your eyes
