m.i.a. ΛΛ Λ Y Λ poll

I was going to say that, despite enjoying it, this is my least favorite of her albums, but then I realized she has an album called AIM that I have zero recollection of.

Lots of great tracks to choose from. I love all the crazy sound effects and bass on Steppin Up. Teqkilla very accurately simulates the state of mind she's describing, perhaps too well. That synth stab is like a fucking ice pick to the skull. Space is indeed appropriately spacey. And yes, the bonus tracks are surprisingly strong. Today though I'm feeling Born Free the most.

AIM has couple of decent cuts; like this

move on.
this thread aint about AIM.

The sound of this album is so harsh and claustrophobic that I just find it unpleasant to listen to. Even the poppier moments ("XXXO," "Tell Me Why") come off as sarcastic; there's none of the exuberance of Kala.

Interesting. "Sarcastic" has never crossed my mind with MIA. It's her most varied album for sure. I think that's why I like it so much. I like all of her modes ....(til she kind of fell asleep on half of AIM but nevermind!)

Didn’t connect with this at all when it came out; picked up a copy a few weeks ago & it really hit the spot. Either my standards have slipped or it was just really good and I was dumb.

Teqkilla, fuiud

I'm listening to AIM now and it appears to be a banging song followed by a bunch of filler

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

loved "born free" but most of the rest of the album didn't connect for me

the original "it takes a muscle to fall in love" by spectral display is pretty good

I object to the thread title the correct orthography is /\/\ /\ Y /\
