damn, this is great. i think i'll be deleting the tedder/warren song + who run the world girls & pretend like the album goes straight into the bonus tracks

Yeah, this thing is in my top twenty.

thats cool. also imo basically proves the dream-needs-to-get-over-the-solo-career hypothesis that says hes at his best when operating as a songwriter rather than performer

feel like there's too many failed big terry/trick hype singles swept under the mindcarpet for that opinion to really take hold

request a shipley statistical beatdown on this matter

can i specify DELUXE EDITION on my p&j ballot?

schoolin life is really pretty

glad to have beyonce stuck in my head again

schoolin' life and dance for you are amazing. why are they bonus tracks, exactly?

oh dont get me wrong, im not saying he has a great hit % for either -- but what terius single has been that good since the 2nd album

hey can someone hook me up w/ this new beyonce leak mpeg layer three

legally

it doesn't exist i don't think. the best i've gotten is ripping it from that soundcloud.

don't need no algebuh when ur schoolin' life

Goddamn, that's really something!

so, who's the Shea Taylor that has production or writing credits on basically every song on this album?

and every great song

I know he's produced a lot of Ne-Yo's stuff

gave k3v a good going over here

lol wtf

decided if i ever listen to '03 bonnie & clyde again i will sing "down to ride til the very end, it's me and my BOOF BOOF"

finally got around to reading Lex's piece on this, great review!

And further evidence to back up the hedge fund theory, in today's Sunday Times Beyoncé reveals the real reason for calling the album 4: "I've won a lot of money on the number 4 when gambling". Haha.

"schoolin life" is great!

listened to this over cocktails at my friends' house the other day, and i do not think Party sticks out like a sore thumb at all. there was a palpable relief in the room to have a song like that in the flow. i just kind of sat back.

there a billion better examples of a song like that that could've fit on the album just as well, though

i'm into the simplicity of it.

to me, it reads like a really good toni braxton song

i would think this was more because the ~intense~ intimate ballads that preceded it weren't really cocktail party material!

I suggest swapping the mojitos for gin.

well, we were actually drinking beer, but i may have switched to vodka when party came on

My grandma and I just drank ginger ale and Johnny Walker Black.

killing it so hard at Glastonbury

WTF what Tricky doing there though?

link?

Incredible!

Fucking killing it.

thanks!

"the beautiful ones"!!

did she play "wonderwall"

Nah, she did "Sex on Fire" though

schoolin life is just about perfect really

I'd pay good money for a quality CD of last night's set. They should def release it.

wtf was tricky doing there? that was really weird. very odd match up. i was surprised by her, shes become a really powerful stage performer in the last 5-6 years, but she was quite immense yesterday. just a shame her band seems to sound so plastic - would be nice for them to sound a bit more 'live' and full bodied. she also does way too many shortened versions of her songs and medleys (she does each song pretty full tilt rather than explore the dynamics) but it was very cool to see her doing classic funk 'hit me 2 times'-type call and response routines and letting her girl-band do a few solos. shes obviously been watching prince, MJ, tina turner, JB etc. i know this is stating the obv but it was clear watching it tho how much of a heroine she is for a lot of girls. never seen that many women at the front at glasto.

but while i think its cool to get ppl like beyonce to challenge glasto ppl's preconceptions (did anyone see how angry zane lowe was afterwards?!?! - that was pretty interesting) i wouldnt mind seeing some R&B/soul artists like badu, alicia keys or even bilal perform there.
