TOP 10 NOW: \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\shawty got poll poll poll poll poll poll poll (part II: 2008 ALBUMS)/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

i assume he means its not really r&b?

posting #15 in a min...it was #1 in one of the big polls...

that mariah remix my the dream is pretty nice, except having big fatass rick ross on a track sort of diminishes it's "wonderful space ballad drifting thru space"-ness IMO.

thank u matty

btw for those who don't know this, the-dream wrote rihanna's 'umbrella'

also single ladies

xps: But The-Dream's whole thing is that he makes no attempt whatsoever to break the boundaries of the R&B genre, he's just as idiosyncratic as possible within them.

<3 him now

yeah i was on the guy's wikipedia he is a machine.

contendo please expand on this a bit for me.

― call all destroyer

no, it IS r&b, but it's been expanded in such an attuned-to-spaces manner that it becomes psychedelic, and it has this three-vicodin-and-a-shot cosmic ooziness that just kills me

i say this is the process of realizing that the earth record is much better than i gave it credit for, and that i totally slepted on the-dream

(caveat: buzz may wear off soon)

omg ok i just watched that ne-yo 'a milli' take and it made me love him even more than i already did. seriously not a single thing about that is not awesome or completely adorable/endearing. also A+ 'ignition (remix)' reference iirc!

can't decide if i want it to not be fleet foxes and hold out hope it gets snubbed or for it to be them and just get them out of the way early

it kinda sucks overall, like you can't just do a nice trippy remix it's always gotta have a rapper on it.

it's like you just ate mushrooms and wanted to watch planet earth on DVD but instead you have to sit there and listen to an offensive lineman from the jaguars tell you how he got a blowjob from some chick in a convenience store bathroom

Ne-Yo's "A Milli" freestyle is much better than it has any right to be but still isn't that great.

but that would be awesome for everyone watching you

I picked up the album yesterday evening, after hearing them for the first time yesterday morning. It's been a really long time since a band has made me feel like "I need this".

- pgwp

This album sounds prettier and prettier every time I listen to it. (The EP too.)

― Mordy

I have a very strong feeling this album will end up garnishing top slots at the end of the year.

― Moka

lol M@tt posting in character

countdown to cheers, applause...

ay, at least it's out of the way

so yeah that dream album is really great rite guys

Two #1 votes? Out yourselves!

p4k combined Fleet Foxes and Sun Giant EP, for what it's worth.

this album kills me because every description makes it sound like something i would like--if not a lot, then at least in a solid-add-to-the-rotation way.

but it's just boring.

ya rev i think it's a fine song actually but i more liked it because i kind of fucking love ne-yo! like the whole thing has this winky-winky air and he just seems like an A+ bro wkiw

ay, at least it's out of the way

and clearly ilm prefers it to the dream

and with that i'm off out. keep the r&b/ringtone fires burning dudes xx

i thought they would be one of the surprises that didnt make it, maybe tvotr didnt make it then.

FLEET FOXORZ: COME CLEAN

fleet foxes sounds pretty good but i never remember any of the songs.

So glad Fleet Fuxors is out of the way before the top ten. It's pleasant background music for Starbucks customers, nothing more.

I'm sure TVOTR made it

can't even get over how funny m@tt's post is

all those that were chuffed about the dream charting are now sad as fleet foxes beat it?

i thought they would be one of the surprises that didnt make it, maybe tvotr didnt make it then.

There's no way, sorry. I'm officially predicting TV on the Radio in the top 6 to 10 spots.

i dont see the appeal of fleet foxes or TVOTR myself

On a side note, the TVOTR album isn't bad by any means. It just didn't grab me the way the first EP/album did together. I've been disappointed by their last two albums -- some good individual songs, but not as fully gripping as their early work.

I was really mad about the Fleet Foxes SNL performance because, before then, I just pretended that they sounded like this:

i know i've told this story before but i saw FFs (heh) as an opening band before they were a thing and was really, really impressed. but the p4k/britisher freakout about them kinda turned me off and i avoided hearing the album. i should cop it off a friend or something.

My initial guess of TVOTR as the album that didn't make it still sticks, either that or Kanye. I have no real reason to justify these guesses.

Herman, have you heard this TVOTR song? Seems up your alley. Immerse yourself for 7 minutes, tell me what you think.

can't even get over how funny m@tt's post is

― goole

the more you think about the real-life feeling of the situation described, the funnier it gets

I could see voting up the Sun Giant EP maybe, because it has "Mykonos" and that's a great song. But the Fleet Foxes LP itself is breezy xanax.
