Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty (2010)

eh i think its got some individually great songs it just isnt a record i want to come back to a lot
maybe if the songs the label cut were included

i can't even

i never feel like relistening to this

me, either, but i'm less of a rap-fan than some/most of you, so . . .

whiney it's not like this was a hands-down goon consensus album or anything before this thread was bumped

eh i think its got some individually great songs it just isnt a record i want to come back to a lot

yeah this is prob what i feel about it...i can't really fault what's there per se, but all the singles that i loved before the album were somehow made a bit worse in album context.

it's still a v likable thing though - i don't get annoyed when i see it crop up like i do w/kanye or [insert everyone else who keeps cropping up here]

probably listened to this album more than any other album this year

still fucking love this album

then again, I would

Yeah it's a great album, and I mean that in "it's fun and it's a blast to listen to" way rather than some lame Q magazine This Is Greatness way. It's a bit patchy but so are Stankonia and Aquemini. If you stripped it down to its best 10 tracks it'd be difficult to fault.

Eh, I love this: every song, even the blah ones, pricks my ear in some way. My #3 record of the year.

my #2. high-five?

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/0

:D

my #1

my #30,000 100,000,000

I'm new on ILX, and figure my first post should be to chime in and say this is my #2 album of 2010. Although I probably listened to it more than anything else this year...

Not really sure how to do this quoting stuff. I'll give it a shot:

Band of Horses, "Infinite Arms." Boring, I know, but I love the songs and the performances. And there might be just a tiny sliver of sappy sentimentalism in that pick, too. Spent a lot of time singing those songs to my new (and first) baby this summer. This goes against everything I feel in my cold, hard, calculated critic's heart, but hey ... what can I do?

I *do* love the songs, though.

Well, there you go. Messed up the quoting / block quotes. Sorry, all.

Thanks, ilxor. Rather than practice here, I'll try to get it right next time.

imo we shd clown this new poster repeatedly for their failings

fuckin n00b

new board description?

how dare u Alpine, using your newborn child as a reason for naming Infinite Arms ur favorite album.

NO FAIR >:(

(welcome!)

can't believe the new poster named his child "infinite arms," after an album

it's still a better name than Pilot Inspektor

or Lucious Left Foot
but not Chico Dusty, that's a great name

Didn't Pete Wentz name his kid Mowgli?

Chico Dusty is a badass name

I'm naming my first kid Potato Pentangeli

Chico Dusty is the name of my character on Rock Band.

hi alpine static you are named after a really good Kinski album. welcome!

this album is pretty good which this year was more than good enough

Uh oh. Here's Xgau:

Big Boi: Sir Lucious Left Foot . . . The Son of Chico Dusty (Def Jam)

Last things first: I wish I could never again hear the jocularly misogynist David Blaine skit at the ass end of "General Patton" in my entire life. But it's not tracked, so insofar as the pervasive albeit incoherent musicality of this overrated good album calls me back, it will always be there to waylay me. Granted, so will a succession of enjoyable songs with plenty to offer. But direct comparison to any post-Aquemini OutKast establishes not Andre's superiority‑-that's ambition and always has been‑-but the congruence of two timbres and deliveries that resembled each other far more than did the big boys who put them across. I feel the juice of Big Boi's "dark fudge brownie with the nut of your choice" and cheer when he mocks "coke-ayena." But without OutKast's synergy, few of his many good moves are slam dunks. "Like a crocodile walking round with alligator skin"? Couldn't have said it better myself. A MINUS

that's in my entire life, italicized

that's like the first published review of this album that confesses to missing Andre, isn't it?

whoever sauid dre & big boi are like the lennon /mccartney of rap where they are ok and clearly talented dudes on their own but need to complete each other's thoughts to be really genius otm

i feel guilty saying this, but i look forward to big boi solo album #2 more than a new outkast album ;_;

I didn't notice a David Blaine skit until xgau pointed it out.

???

also, xgau: the david blaine skit doesn't come across as misogynist to me. i mean, doesn't it go, "...when you're fuckin a girl from the back, or somebody from the back, right" -- i mean, if it's misogynist, it's also conceding that the maneuver can be used on men, too, right?

it's "fucking YOUR girl from the back, or somebody from the back"; that's clearly a no homo line

ehhh i dont buy that 100%
