It is kind of zzzz but I love the Suicide sample a lot. Just wish there were more, like, melodies and tones and stuff and not just noise.

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.

the kind of video senser would have made if they'd had the budget
tbh the music is about on senser's level too

ah that video just makes that suicide sample even more intense.
― borntohula, Monday, 26 April 2010 14:12 (thirteen years ago) link
not feeling the video - there's no reason for it to be 9 minutes long ans for all the viscera there's a pointlessness to the entire concept
― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 26 April 2010 14:19 (thirteen years ago) link
expected her to not do something thats so familiar but the songs ok. bit too chemical bros/prodigy ish though. i expect better from her.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Monday, 26 April 2010 14:34 (thirteen years ago) link
good video though. and her conceptualism is still there. wonder what the sound of the album will be like.
sort of reminds of the 'windowlicker' vid with the distended length and american setting albeit with the avant-grotesquerie replaced by inane blackly comic quasipolitical challops

there ought always to be room in pop music for syncretists/dilettantes with a sense for the right wtf direction, even if u hate it u gotta have respect for her
malcolm mclaren would have wanted it this way

what a horribly formed song

i guess youd prefer someone like i dunno, brother ali where everything is 100% accurate/theoretically sound but 100% boring

no i just mean... what do you mean by "conceptualism" here?

with a video for people who don't know about punishment park
not sure if anyone follow pitchfork on twitter, but she's tweeting there all day and it's possibly the most annoying thing she's ever done. not really sure what she's trying to accomplish by being so kayne/all-caps/obnoxious, when i've seen and heard interviews where she's a very normal, laid back kind of person.

pretty sure "biz" isn't used ironically

Listening to it again in hi quality and I'm still frustrated at how great the sample is and how it gets ruined by unnecessary echo on the vocals and the lazy production. Her voice sounds way better when it's slightly behind the sound, not in front of it all. Song sounds killer until she torches it down with the vocals... oh well, we'll always have ghostrider...

I don't mind this song, but I hope it isn't representative of what LP3 has in store generally. She seems too good and too canny to drop some kind of disappointing album on us in 2010.
