Looking forward to the new one, Old has become a slow burn favourite of mine.

"tell me what i don't know" is stunning
like the more natural delivery, his really antic, hyper voice wears on me

M@tt otm, best when he finds the balance between the two voices. May be why I still prefer The Hybrid to anything else he's released since.

gripes about the voice aside...man...this album is really something huh?
― Pull your head on out your hippy haze (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 27 September 2016 20:44 (seven years ago) link
this has been a problem for me from day one. love everything about Danny except those songs.
― alpine static, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 21:11 (seven years ago) link
imo the "natural voice" stuff is mostly a framing device for the "here comes danny brown!" moment when the lyrics fall back into the depression/paranoia.... drugs/pussy/no sleep/AHHHH lyrical breakdown

Today has some 'Kast BOB flow/cadence going
― Spottie, Tuesday, 27 September 2016 22:21 (seven years ago) link
album kinda dropped off in the middle but the ends are great
ungh I think the openers have short sets so they threw a really perfunctory dj out. maybe should have shown up later -- I usually like to see openers but this is padding wtf
― dr. mercurio arboria (mh π), Wednesday, 28 September 2016 01:42 (seven years ago) link
first thoughts are all "omg this the best shit ever" hyperbole. it's obv not perfect but i don't see my opinion dropping much!
i can see some of the backlash coming already - look, he made an artsy noisy obtuse album for ppl who don't like street rap/ppl who dont like popular rap/hipsters/insert strawman here - but every indication of his personality makes me feel like he made exactly what he wanted to make, and hear.
(overwrought metaphor coming) it feels like distorted sonar dispatches from someone traveling through the inside of his head. (overwrought metaphor that i nonetheless believe complete)

only getting to listen to this in small chunks but it's great so far. i don't always like Paul White's production but it works for a cohesive sound across the whole thing (the beat on 'Pneumonia' though, i'd be ok if Evian Christ did every track).

the sequence from "Really Doe" to "Dance in the Water" is amazing

Earl Sweatshirt verse is kinda garbs

Earl is so overrated
― Spottie, Sunday, 2 October 2016 02:48 (seven years ago) link
Album has its moments, but it's not as good as Old so far... production sounds like its competing with DB. White Lines is cool though.
― warm winds and clear skies, Sunday, 2 October 2016 19:53 (seven years ago) link
love this album, especially all the uptempo tracks. it's all i've felt like listening to lately.
production sounds like its competing with DB.
when i heard the tracks they released ahead of the album i had that same thought, that the post-punky samples didn't really blend with his voice, but in context it all somehow works.
on the other hand, i really don't like the production on the new Open Mike Eagle, there it clashes and doesn't leave enough space for him.
― sam jax sax jam (Jordan), Thursday, 20 October 2016 17:18 (seven years ago) link
one of the year's best imo
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 20 October 2016 17:20 (seven years ago) link
I think I agree
― i believe that (s)he is sincere (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 26 October 2016 02:23 (seven years ago) link
Yep, great album on the strength of the production alone. Need to dig more into the lyrics but this is definitely standing up to Old and XXX

just heard an old bigg jus company flow verse and thought "hmm this is a danny brown crazy voice verse, without the crazy voice"

New mostly instrumental mixtape from Paul White https://paulwhite.bandcamp.com/
― Dominique, Friday, 20 January 2017 19:31 (seven years ago) link
He posted the video for "Ain't it Funny" yesterday. Probably my favorite video of his. Increasingly convinced that Danny Brown is one of the best rappers atm. He's got a unique, singular vision. Him, Earl, Kanye... I would listen to anything they do.

Great song and an even better video (directed by Jonah Hill????)
― flappy bird, Thursday, 30 March 2017 17:28 (seven years ago) link
Every time I come across a Danny Brown song, my reaction is always "who knew that people would be all over a rapping Sammy Davis, Jr?"

I didn't think I'd ever heard this guy, but after ^ that description I suspected it was that weird sounding guy on that one track on Sour Soul, and so I investigated and of course it is. will probably listen to this

really excited that paul white is back producing on at least some of the new one. tbd which tracks, but i'd bet that's him on the first released tune "tantor." either way it's fantastic. can't wait for the rest.
