J0rdan S., Wednesday, 11 July 2012 15:51 (thirteen years ago)

wow 'end' is one of the best things on this. so pretty.

blossom smulch (schlump), Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:32 (thirteen years ago)

it's like this record's small ambient came to give love outro

blossom smulch (schlump), Wednesday, 11 July 2012 16:32 (thirteen years ago)

can I just posit the idea that complaining about the lyrics of "Forrest Gump" when you have "Bad Religion" is some missing the forest for the trees-ass bullshit?

If he toured with Meshell Ndegeocello's band...

The week’s big story is controversial Def Jam/IDJ avant-R&B crooner Frank Ocean, a member of the L.A.-based hip-hop collective Odd Future, who will open with a very impressive 110-125k as an iTunes exclusive for his major label bow, Channel Orange.

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 11 July 2012 21:45 (thirteen years ago)

which I suppose means he won't suffer from a precipitous drop in sales next week.

a regina spektor is haunting europe (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 11 July 2012 21:48 (thirteen years ago)

pretty impressive, especially when you consider that Watch The Throne was the first high profile album to be released on iTunes a week ahead of its CD release, and that did 290k the first week.

straight up now tell me will I be a fucking lump forever? (some dude), Wednesday, 11 July 2012 21:49 (thirteen years ago)

yeah that'a really solid number

some of this record's so great; the slinky sequencer-snare-&-backbeats instrumentation on lost; the weird variety of pink matter, frank getting all high & hollering, the sluggish bass-pops & andre's worried verse; the lazy space of end. forrest gump works really well, too; it's so sweet-sounding & young, all i'll never forget you teenage bubblegum, cartoonish. the lyrics work, it's like a young love high school thing.

blossom smulch (schlump), Thursday, 12 July 2012 00:29 (thirteen years ago)

Why not use a verb less problematic than "admitted," journalists/writers?

Andy K, Thursday, 12 July 2012 01:11 (thirteen years ago)

i will forgive Hits Daily Double for "controversial" because of Following up RCA R&B bruiser Chris Brown’s #1 debut yesterday

straight up now tell me will I be a fucking lump forever? (some dude), Thursday, 12 July 2012 01:28 (thirteen years ago)

despite being a huge fan of n.u, i still haven't heard the new one. advance tracks didn't grab me. will rectify asap cuz i'm getting super curious.

contenderizer, Friday, 13 July 2012 22:27 (thirteen years ago)

pyramids and sweet life strike me as high points. Anybody else wanna seriously rep for other tracks?

Bad Religion and Thinkin Bout You are my favorites.

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 14 July 2012 05:16 (thirteen years ago)

i need more time with it... i think it might be one of those that reveals more stuff with repeated listens.

billstevejim, Saturday, 14 July 2012 06:24 (thirteen years ago)

Bad Religion, Thinkin Bout You, Lost, Super Rich Kids, Sweet Life. Also I really like the transition from Bad Religion into Pink Matter.

pandemic, Saturday, 14 July 2012 06:33 (thirteen years ago)

"sweet life" is one of my least fav songs on the record

pilot jones, lost, forrest gump, sierra leone are all amazing
