does the synth just sound like suicide or is it a sample? song's alright.

How much of the new album did Rusko produce? If he did the whole thing, it's likely to be dreadful.
― Matt DC, Friday, 23 April 2010 15:54 (thirteen years ago) link
well this new song doesn't sound like it had anything to do with him, but it's still definitely dreadful

pretty sure it's just a sample. writing credit is her, martin and alan. it's gash, but they'll get some cash so that's great.

I get that its cool to hear Paper Planes in indie discos nowdays, but can't she go back to the intense buzzy skeletal beats of Arular, they're so much more fun
Also, poor German MIA
― boxedjoy, Friday, 23 April 2010 16:24 (thirteen years ago) link
iDig this. Arular is neanderthal MIA and...and that's saying something given her overall aesthetic.
― Blancminaj (Spinspin Sugah), Friday, 23 April 2010 16:34 (thirteen years ago) link
Don't like the lo-fi karaoke thing on her voice in this particular song... I could see how it's supposed to fit with the punk aesthetic of the song but it just sounds like lazy production... hope the rest of the album feels less like a demo.
― Moka, Friday, 23 April 2010 18:51 (thirteen years ago) link
And it's a shame because the sample is good.

Its modernist punk. It makes me interested. Sounds good.

Just sounds like bad Atari Teenage Riot. Nothing really new going on here.
― Jamie_ATP, Friday, 23 April 2010 21:55 (thirteen years ago) link
I love the beat but those vocals sound really half-assed.
― adamj, Friday, 23 April 2010 22:34 (thirteen years ago) link
Except MIA hasn't done 'bad atari teenage riot' before. Its pop music. Did you expect some sort of Stockhausen experiment? What is new etc, etc...
― Hinklepicker, Friday, 23 April 2010 22:38 (thirteen years ago) link
she had this album called kala that pulled from some great honkies: richman, pixies, clashShe made them her own and made them parts of something great
thought she'd do suicide justice. she did not.
― Fellini.Kuti, Friday, 23 April 2010 23:10 (thirteen years ago) link
Shit. And here I was just thinking she went and made a song.
So can we get this straight: Is it 'Bad Atari Teenage Riot' or 'Bad Suicide'. Is someone going to say sounds like 'Bad M.I.A?' Prefer these kinds of influences than Beach #**!@$ Boys.

It's the best thing I have heard all day- ahead of my kids persistent whining, the sound of pork frying and a hippy, gypsy Dylan at a park down the road. More melody than all three too.Don't listen to them M.I.A.Keep up the good work.
