That's because it's better.

did he explain whether the third minute was added after the fact?
prefer the longer version now, either way
― some dude, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 21:19 (twelve years ago) link
like the extra min but not the silly prince opening in the vid. the more abrupt start helped the ~mystique~.
― bnw, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 21:26 (twelve years ago) link
the longer version was the original but he prefers the shorter version

i win my bet with rev then!
― some dude, Wednesday, 8 August 2012 21:35 (twelve years ago) link
fine, dammit. and yeah, the long version is even better. that bridge feels so....solid, like you could reach out and hold it and he goes so far in on the last chorus

"adorn" broke into the hot 100 this week, should be in the r&b/hip-hop top 10 by next week

― tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 16 August 2012 00:41 (twelve years ago) link
i think the next preview is tracks 4-6
damn so I've already heard 6/11 tracks... and LOL @ "Pussy Is Mine" being on the album... still super excited tho.

glad "arch n point" made the cut! wish "gravity" would've replaced "candles"
― i'm a housewife, an artist, and a snow leopard (The Brainwasher), Thursday, 16 August 2012 00:48 (twelve years ago) link
actually "gravity" could of just replaced "pussy is mine"... I mean unless he totally reworked it from this, it's a bit of a throwaway

when's it out again?
― ticagrelor rotini (k3vin k.), Thursday, 16 August 2012 01:18 (twelve years ago) link
never heard "pussy is mine" before. there's definitely the workings of a dope song there, but sounds kinda demo-ish
― ticagrelor rotini (k3vin k.), Thursday, 16 August 2012 01:20 (twelve years ago) link
the version of "candles" that's on the album is the slower version that he's been playing live
― tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 16 August 2012 02:47 (twelve years ago) link
i'm glad it's not just the EP version w/ the Lennon sample cut out, that weirdly makes that version of the song work for me
― some dude, Thursday, 16 August 2012 02:50 (twelve years ago) link
p much loathe 'candles' and deplore the long, grody post-ocean shadow it casts over this album and the adorn/use me/arch in point axis
more glam, less dress-up hippy cruft
― r|t|c, Thursday, 16 August 2012 06:57 (twelve years ago) link
truthfully does anyone even actually wanna hear miggy attempt a song titled 'kaleidoscope dream' (let alone name the effing album after it) cos i'm just saying nuh uh
― r|t|c, Thursday, 16 August 2012 07:01 (twelve years ago) link
kinda feel that reusing ADC songs misses the point of ADC but oh well
"where's the fun in forever" might be more lol than "pussy is mine"
― lex pretend, Thursday, 16 August 2012 07:03 (twelve years ago) link
agree with this even tho the new version of "Adorn" is basically my favorite thing ever
― The Reverend, Thursday, 16 August 2012 07:07 (twelve years ago) link
i can see why they'd put arch n point on there tho
― tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 16 August 2012 07:09 (twelve years ago) link
"arch & point" is the best ADC song yeah but if you want to reuse ADC tracks have the decency to put them as bonus tracks or something - if the next preview EP is tracks 4-6 that'll leave us with uhhh two new songs when the album drops
― lex pretend, Thursday, 16 August 2012 07:11 (twelve years ago) link
i'd have less of a problem with reusing the tracks if it seemed as if the album was gonna be like the finished expanded apotheosis of the adc ep sketches, but it doesnt and so feels more like a cheaper cherrypick
― r|t|c, Thursday, 16 August 2012 07:18 (twelve years ago) link
the title track btw is definitely arty but it sounded pretty cool -- prod by salaam
― tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 16 August 2012 07:52 (twelve years ago) link
I do have to give Salaam his dues for being reliable as fuck.
― The Reverend, Thursday, 16 August 2012 08:03 (twelve years ago) link
the album has a lot of guitars tho, so arch n point will fit well sonically... It's not a straight cherry pick
― tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 16 August 2012 08:12 (twelve years ago) link
I think it's been fairly obvious that Migs loves his guitars.
― The Reverend, Thursday, 16 August 2012 08:13 (twelve years ago) link
salaam is one of the best producers of all time but phones it in these days pretty much, "reliable" is his bare minimum
― r|t|c, Thursday, 16 August 2012 08:14 (twelve years ago) link
like if you got him on pcp and told him to make a track out of some pots and pans it'd come out sounding reliable

what
― r|t|c, Thursday, 16 August 2012 08:37 (twelve years ago) link
I've heard basically the entire album... It's "cherry picking" in the sense that, yes, he's taking one of the singles from ADC but it totally fits with the direction of the album. It's no biggie. He's putting a good song on his album.
― tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 16 August 2012 08:48 (twelve years ago) link
i'm also okay with how he's releasing the album... I think the argument could be made that he's finding an agreeable middle ground between an album leaking outside of the artist's control and the level of buzz you need to have to find the elusive "everyone hearing it at once" feeling (like frank ocean or watch the throne)
― tauheed & cambria (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 16 August 2012 08:56 (twelve years ago) link
you only seem to be seeing one direction here though, is where we disagree
― r|t|c, Thursday, 16 August 2012 09:06 (twelve years ago) link
i like the way he's staggering releases but i dunno how well it's working if people itt are already finding ways to be unhappy about him releasing 17 mostly dope songs in one year
― some dude, Thursday, 16 August 2012 11:08 (twelve years ago) link
Adorn might well be my song of the year.

The ADC Candles In the Sun almost sounds a bit channel orangey, no?
― (professor) (longneck), Thursday, 16 August 2012 12:45 (twelve years ago) link
well it came out before that album -- it actually weirded me out to hear the phrase "candles in the sun" in the last track of the frank ocean but i guess it's a more common phrase than i realized
― some dude, Thursday, 16 August 2012 13:06 (twelve years ago) link

I know it came out before channel orange, that's why I wrote "almost". But strip it down a bit and they're definitely talking the same musical language.
