When "The Story" is the weakest thing they've put out to date, that's pretty astonishing.

Even the Red Hot + Fela track is amazing.

(talked to some industry people who i respect who saw them at APAP and said they seemed "academic"; i am very curious to hear for myself)
― from the perspective of a gay man, i will post them now (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 19 January 2016 18:33 (ten years ago)
what does "academic" mean in that context?
paris (the multi-instrumentalist) is a tremendous synth nerd
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Tuesday, 19 January 2016 18:35 (ten years ago)
nah i live in boston and am traveling too much. but i am writing about them. i thought they were incredible at great scott in 2014.
― maura, Tuesday, 19 January 2016 18:36 (ten years ago)
yeah they're great live. i saw them at lpr two years ago and it was such a gentle, sweet show
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Tuesday, 19 January 2016 18:37 (ten years ago)
xp by "academic" i believe she meant technically polished but not especially present... which she hastened to point out could mean they just had an off night and were falling back on training to keep them afloat. She buttressed all that with a "it's not that every act has to lead with their soul but i thought KING certainly would"

If it follows the pattern of the annual song they've released for the past few years, this...should be close to my favourite album of the decade.
sounding good so far!
― art baengels (monotony), Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:15 (ten years ago)
yeah this is pretty nuts, the first song wasn't my fav but glad i stuck with it instead of going over to rihanna right away cos damn does everything sound good. need to hear hq tho

I stopped the Rihanna to play this haha.

chord progression in the bridge of "the right one" is essentially the peak of music for me
i know i'm gonna fill this thread with hyperbole but i really feel that
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:50 (ten years ago)
does "the greatest" sound even more like an infinite swirl in album context? yes

"The Greatest" sounds way better on the album than in isolation.
― The Reverend, Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:58 (ten years ago)
the new intros and outros on the old songs are like some ascension to heaven-level shit

the "supernatural" intro is unreal
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 06:01 (ten years ago)
Okay, really, releasing this in January is really unfair to everyone else who wanted to release an album this year. Y'all can't make a better one than this.
