6/7/2011, imma drop that body work / fuck my brains out double single (TERIUS NASH aka THE-DREAM, LOVE IV: anticipation and adoration)

is this out there?

not that i know of

I think the whole album is one great stretch, tbh, but "Too Early" is particularly incredible

idk i think there's a handful of tracks on this that are kinda worthless

There's some fluff in the final third, but it's mostly likable fluff, so I don't mind

his albums always start off kinda slow but "high art", "pussy" and "turnt" are 360 dunked into the recycle bin

big chunk of the record uploaded a couple hours ago, enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheDreamVEVO

KAT as first venue for webrip leak says a lot about Terius fan base...
Can't wait til I can get 320.
Is there even a place where I can officially buy IVPlay in 320? Only online option iTunes?

Dipping in and out of album cut on YouTube, waiting to be wowed

Ok "Turnt Up" has its charms

Lol at "Michael"! Perfect, the Dream is....back? A+

This is like the perfect start to my day - it the Lonely Island tracks I'm about to spin are dope I should buy a lotto ticket

front third of this is sort of a mess

All Nash everything except:

Equestrian (Nash/McKinney)
Where Have You Been (Nash/Da Internz/Miykal Snoddy)
Self-Conscious (Nash/McKinney)
Holy Love (Nash/McKinney)

3 los tracks! somebody grab k3vin a towel.

andy k, thumbs up, thumbs down?

way too much of the stuff i hated about "love king" here -- aimless half-sung ballads, lower-register mumblecore -- and too little of the bright, hooky stuff that makes him good.

i don't know how anyone could end the album with "slow it down" and not think it's the most enjoyable thing here

Either neither or down.

Certainly not up.

It's true that there's not a lot of the bright, hooky stuff, but I think the storyline here is that he's getting better at the other sounds. He's trying a lot of new things on this record, and a lot of them work really well. I like that he's trying to advance his sound instead of just relive past glories.

the song with kelly sounded good on the tonight show last night. or at least she sounded good.

Who is McKinney?

Not... CYNTHIA McKinney?!? Lol

kevin's being a bit fatalistic

there's some stuff on here that's not very good but "IV play"/"equestrian"/"where have you been"/"too early"/"michael" stand up with mostly anything off his three other albums

i need to listen more to everything else after michael tho

mckinney is los da mystro, one of dream's longtime co-producers

"mostly everything!" who are you?!

lol

also again it really sucks that the original beyonce track got cut from this, it would be like pulling "fancy" off love vs money or something

those songs are great and could be dropped into any of the other three albums and no one would bat an eye

I really wish I had remained ignorant about this

now that we're talking about LOS tho i guess this sort of fits into what you guys were discussing on the goon thread (i think) a while ago - the decline of the performer-producer relationship and the increased reliance on fad producers and guests. obviously terius has always had a hand in his own productions but his gradual drifting away from tricky and los does coincide with an appreciable drop in quality

yeah definitely. gradually hearing the difference between tricky and los and how they each played off the songwriting is a huge part of the pleasure of those albums for me. he's a lot mushier and less detailed a producer.

hmm can someone let the thread know when this leaks in decent quality? i'm not listening to a vevo stream of terius of all people, i may be sceptical but i at least want to give him a chance to shine

like, i don't know how you can be a dream stan not just totally adore "michael" or "IV play" or "equestrian"

the little outro on michael is so classic terius -- "dirty diana, hop up in this phantom..."

Holding out for a decent rip over here. Don't want to ruin the first impression.

longneck and i as one on terius at last

longneck will love this

the vevos sound fine btw

Yeah it's not too bad tbf but more power to you holding out.

Equestrian was really lame to me.

"turnt" is great and also puts in relief the failures of "high art" and "pussy"

glad that pussy got put in relief

really enjoying this still

i'd probably find 1977 extremely leaden if i listened to it after this

Yeah, mercifully this positions 1977 as an outlier, not the beginning of an irreversible slide

man i'm all "the horns in 'loving you' are incredible" and then it immediately shifts into this kinda dull glitchy section :\

RIP the liveblogging from 2009

too early is epic as hell if i dont play this every summer night i just dont know

see me silhouette the sunset w/ my top down
top back, see me ridin
million dollar benz rims glidin
top down, gold watch
100 stacks spent on my glock (?)

holy love is really nice

heh i thought that was the worst song on the album

My stream of this expired over the weekend, and I can't wait to hear it again. Probably going to buy the deluxe edition on Tuesday; I think it will be the first time I've bought a deluxe edition of an album since Love King

That's like the scourge of crit-Dom now, the expiring stream
