yes exactly. like i can sing along perfectly to a song when it's playing but ask me how it goes again afterwards and it's all a blank even when i've heard the song 10000 times before. i wonder if there's a name for people who listen to music like this. xp

roz, the single version of "So Good" doesn't have any swearing so that's probably why

I initially listened to this on my PC and then went for a walk with it on my iPod and OMG it's really fucking loud!
I really enjoyed it on the first couple of listens but haven't quite formulated my thoughts yet (other than that Kill Bill sounds weirdly like Girls Aloud, but I have missed the age of the 'OMG THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD!!!' ILM thread and this one makes me happy in that alone.
― Enormous Epic (Matt DC), Saturday, 23 May 2009 21:14 (fourteen years ago) link
The only time I got a "this is too loud" vibe is on "Kill Bill", which is the one song that isn't doing anything for me.

Attempted to pick this up over lunch, but apparently B3st Buy isn't carrying it yet. Kinda surprising considering its on Def Jam, no? Twenty copies of the new Grizzly Bear, but nothing on this. Asked a guy to look it up for me and he said no stores in the area had it, nor were they planning to getting any.

Sadly, probably. Doubly so if the big chain stores can't be bothered to carry it.

said it before, gonna say it again
devotion -> freaky freaky -> bed rest = totally next level r&b imo
i'm so annoyed though that i can't very well play this at work

i still haven't ~gathered my thoughts~ on this really, except
a) 'electrik city' should def be on the albumb) i've had 'friend lover' and 'drink in my cup' knocking around my hard drive for ages but only now in the context of the album do i realise how next-level they arec) two-tone phantom, hot like HELLO; diamonds on my neck, ~canary yellow~d) LITTLE BOYYYYYY! don't try to show out! when your little boys come to the house! or i'll walk around this bitch in my LOUBOUTIN HEELS with my ASS HANGIN' OUTTTTT!e) yeah i could just turn into a lyrics machinef) it's SO pro-female, this is awesome

'friend lover' is the kind of thing that if done wrong, ever so subtly wrong, it could be discounted, but it's just not

jordan i think you said something once about l*dy g*ga's 'just dance' capturing that feeling of being totally fucked up in a club and not knowing/caring where or what or who - 'drink in my cup' does that for me
i mean we have all seen the video, right? seriously don't think this'll be beaten this year http://videos.onsmash.com/v/bIH3Lab4eCSGssNM

'friend lover' is so candy sweet that it almost makes you forget it's about having a no-strings fuck-buddy

i never heard "Friend Lover" or "Drink" before today, both sound like odd single picks to me.
always thought Jordan was a little hyperbolic with his futurespacecat description of the production on LvM, but it's totally appropriate here.
― pimp ship flying high (some dude), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 23:34 (fourteen years ago) link
hold on
i dont remember ever lauding the prod on lvm anymore than i would any dream song, in fact if anything i think i said that the production on some of the songs was pretty standard, just that trick & dream were able to infuse enough of their quirks to push them over the top (regarding specifically "home 2 ur mama" and "lvm"/"lvm2"), altho i would say "fancy" and "right side of my brain" are futurespacecat def
but yeah the production on these songs is just in another galaxy

i think my fav thing about "devotion" is that it sounds like she's being cradled by the song - it's such a soft and sensual and thus comforting beat and it perfectly matches the sentiment
― some people wait a lifetime for a momus like this (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 26 May 2009 23:41 (fourteen years ago) link
this proves my thesis for me at least that the girl equivalent of any album is better (if this could be said to be the girl-LvM)

"Kill Bill" is way too Brooke Valentine. (I should probably go back and listen to her album again before I start using her as a punchline, but whatever.)

wow, you guys weren't kidding about this album being hard to find in stores. I was in a store today (an independent one that sells a lot of R&B and currently has Chrisette Michele at the top of its best sellers list, even), and couldn't find a single copy. glad I already got it only this week -- only $6.99 on Amazon's mp3 store!
