"Don't Look Back" is great y'all are trippin. I especially can't imagine removing the "Time of the Season" cover

Ok it may be my least fave song on the album, but it hardly deserves THAT.
Also, the Time of the Season bit is what makes Don't Look Back, for me.

Every song now gets stuck in my head!Okay, well for me I typically only get good songs stuck in my head.

i'm prob one of the most outspoken anti-"Don't Look Back" people but i've made peace with it in that 'man i love this fucking album even the parts i don't love' way, has some nice bits.
"Do You" is amazing and if you can't enjoy saccharine reggae without thinking of the worst possible examples thereof i feel sorry for you son

do you like drugs?have you ever felt alone?do you still believe in love?
^^such key questions
it is the most romantic song of the year for me

'don't look back' is charmingly ponderous but it's true that I can only stand it about 1/3 of the time
― 乒乓, Sunday, 9 December 2012 13:25 (eleven years ago) link
The moment when that slap bass enters the song = best of the year.
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 9 December 2012 13:30 (eleven years ago) link
on "Do You"? yes, totally
― some dude, Sunday, 9 December 2012 13:47 (eleven years ago) link
Ok yeah the bass is awesome
― send Lawyers (Drugs A. Money), Sunday, 9 December 2012 15:19 (eleven years ago) link
the contrast between the glistening blissed out vibe of the song and the drugs'n'bass is what makes it all work
― some dude, Sunday, 9 December 2012 16:31 (eleven years ago) link
yall love it cos it sounds like steely dan, come clean already

i really should finally listen to steely dan

!!
― 乒乓, Sunday, 9 December 2012 17:27 (eleven years ago) link
if something sounded like steely dan i'd readily admit that that's why i like it!
― some dude, Sunday, 9 December 2012 17:28 (eleven years ago) link
god now i really would give anything to hear The Dukes Of September run through "Do You" now though
― some dude, Sunday, 9 December 2012 17:30 (eleven years ago) link
is that a demurral then
i don't and i won't but if i were to delete one thing off this lp it'd be 'candles in the wind', p much hate that shit in any version
― r|t|c, Sunday, 9 December 2012 17:31 (eleven years ago) link
the keyboards and drums on the 'live' version sound so gross and depressing
― some dude, Sunday, 9 December 2012 17:32 (eleven years ago) link
removing that would also unencumber 'pussy is mine' from deep cut to light outro closer
ah fuckit ima do it
― r|t|c, Sunday, 9 December 2012 17:35 (eleven years ago) link
haha yes
― k3vin k., Sunday, 9 December 2012 18:38 (eleven years ago) link
i would guess will hate the dan but can't be sure.

i dunno, lex likes tom waits and leonard cohen, could be a good fit

It can't have too many guitars or "rock" so scratch the first two.

this album sounds a lot better on speakers than on headphones imo, and like to a weird extent
― flopson, Sunday, 9 December 2012 20:06 (eleven years ago) link
yeah it's true
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 9 December 2012 20:08 (eleven years ago) link
I dont know how I forgot about the slap bass; I do love that. Was way rong and take it all back.

yes this sounds incredible on good speakers so many things i missed listening through my headphones until i put this on on my computer, and these speakers aren't even THAT good

imo it's all about the interaction between the slap bass and those heavy drums. it's the rhythms of late-90s r&b but with a completely different sonic palette.
as far as "Pussy Is Mine", this is all that really needs to be said about its greatness:

reminds me of a hilarious Wendy & Lisa interview
Did you first think Prince was gay? Lisa: He was little and kinda prissy and everything. But he's so not gay.Wendy: He's a girl, for sure, but he's not gay. He looked at me like a gay woman would look at another woman.Lisa: Totally. He's like a fancy lesbian.
― some dude, Monday, 10 December 2012 01:13 (eleven years ago) link
haha, I was going to say "like Prince!"
I'm totally willing to settle for the "Miguel is a fancy lesbian" explanation of God, the Universe, and Everything.

Miguel is definitely a fancier lesbian than Ellen
love how "Adorn" live performances have progressively gotten more swagged out over the last few months
