i really dig this song, even more than "my songs," and patrick's more aggressive singing on both songs feels, strangely, extremely organic to me, especially when it's in deliberate contrast with the (from what i can tell) extremely sampled/phased backing.

it just sounds like he's straining to me... like thin and nasally as opposed to his normal powerful/soulful singing

have to keep reminding myself that i've never liked their pre-album singles as much as the albums or later singles

does anybody know who the producer on this album is? patrick's voice does sound different but it could be any number of things

Don't mind these songs but so far, they're a bit of a letdown after Folie a Deux.

i'm often down on singles and then like the albums or vice versa if that's what you mean. i like to think i'm willing to change my mind or admit when i've been wrong but i dunno if something like what you're describing actually happens that often! unless jokes i make about artists i like just come off harsh, i guess. examples?

If Panic at the Disco would reform with the same 4 dudes from their first 2 albums I would probably care and listen.

haha well I think I said that in a fit of pique - I don't have somedude.xls open but since I started following your blog a few months ago I def felt p surprised at how highly ranked you had some songs which I had a vague memory of you shitting on here on ILM. I'll let you know if I catch you slippin xp

Yeah it's all good. I'm just curious now if those are apparent inconsistencies I can easily explain or that I'm totally unaware of! Singles tend to change a lot for me from first listen to fiftieth, which is prob how it should be imo.

i feel confident in saying that this will probably be the only album ever to feature both big sean and elton john
― A$AP Rovi (J0rdan S.), Friday, 29 March 2013 17:22 (eleven years ago) link
last album was probably the only album to ever feature both lil wayne and elvis costello (...nobody really famous to contrast w/ jay-z or babyface on the album before that though)

there is the offish "all of the lights" remix w/ big sean, which i assume still has elton's piano in the mix although who knows
I kinda dug "My Songs..." so I'm disappointed "The Phoenix" sounds like what I expected (which makes it a comeback after all, I guess).

"My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark" doesn't sound all that great on the radio. The goofiness in the chorus stopped being funny somewhere around the 3rd listen, and nothing else in this song has grown into anything especially rewarding.
