ha, i'm familiar with most of it - but curious about ypur rankings, do thanks for the spotify link - there's so much good stuff but a lot of it is approximately equal imo. Rhytmalism is my favorite though.

i think the "palm trees... beautiful" also came from the same sourcewhen that anecdote first came out, i was pretty floored that he used found footage to such amazing effect. it's a mark of great artistry.

"Pet Semetary" and "That Nigga'z Crazy" are the ones I've kept. The rest are good but aren't sticking...?

'fuck all night' is awesome
i like this album a lot more than book of david

had it dropped in summer i wouldn't have stopped playing it i think
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 16:14 (nine years ago) link
this hasn't stuck with me either, i also suspect winter of killing it - it's good when i play it but it's never exactly what i'm craving right now

Shine is the only song on there that doesn't sound like it belongs on a Quik album.
― no but seriously im not a dick like that (Spottie), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 18:40 (nine years ago) link
"Life Jacket" is the only track that's stuck in my head

I like this more than Book of David too, such a fun album front to back.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 20:48 (nine years ago) link
That's crazy talk imo...
What's the (replayed) sample on "Pet Semetary"? It seems super obvious and on the tip of my tongue, I feel like Just Blaze(?) used the actual sample before

Yeah it's loads better than the Book of David which was totally on it when it hit but had a few mediocre beats and this kind of sourness to some of the tracks. This one is just terrific throughout.
― Matt DC, Friday, 12 December 2014 11:25 (nine years ago) link
oh, even more obvious than I was thinking.
half the fun of Book of David was how it determinedly bounced back and forth from goodtimes party jams (which were WAY WAY BETTER than the ones on this album) to Quik at his most prissy and peevish. The new album is some halfassed autopilot shit.
― burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb ranks (The Reverend), Friday, 12 December 2014 11:56 (nine years ago) link

The new album is some halfassed autopilot shit
Even if that were true, Quik on autopilot is still better than many artists' A-game.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 13 December 2014 10:53 (nine years ago) link
agree with rev, only trax that really stick off this are "life jacket" and "that getter" - none of it's bad as such but it's when you go back to the book of david that you really realise the gulf in quality
― lex pretend, Saturday, 13 December 2014 13:23 (nine years ago) link
man i couldn't agree any less with that assessment -- all the best stuff on the album is the autopilot stuff! when it gets bad is when he tries to do stuff that isn't in wheelhouse and/or lets his son rap
― J0rdan S., Monday, 15 December 2014 01:00 (nine years ago) link
yeah these are v uncharitable views on this record, which is great, i've just had trouble returning to it

although he mentions ed hardy so maybe this is an old leftover track
on the other hand he says "im in the pussy doing kegels" so it's worth it
